I don't know if that could work but I think it points out the fundamental issue; Companies that change to prioritizing shareholder value over focusing on their purpose (planes, chips, etc.) are destined to end up in this situation. I just wish things could be different. Boeing was in a place of being one part of a duopoly with Airbus, in a era of increasing commercial air travel. At the same time as slowly renewing focus on military aero that has been recovering after large cuts at the end of the cold war. In an era where space went from a tiny field to having a bunch of commercial applications and interest. All places they could have been leaders! But it's just eroded. I know much of this is just the past repeating itself but I just wish it were different. It's hard not to think being an engineer back in the day working on the 747 was a better gig then it'll be working on whatever Boeing does next.
