Boeing is literally falling out of the sky whether in pieces or whole.

Wall Street / shareholder driven goals have driven this once " captain " of industry to it's
current parlous state.

What is even more ironic is that in the past few years American criticisism of Chinese/Russian , foreign

based technology failure is very acrid and fierce , sanctions ,threat of ...etc.

Yes, greed and the need to please their investors is the reason the company is falling apart. There was a reporter on the radio last week who said after interviewing some former workers from the company, that Boeing, in order to save on labour cost, were employing workers straight out of trade schools with no previous experience. They were installing parts that was considered not trustworthy. Hopefully, the authorities step in before people start losing their lives. When I book a flight now, I usually check to see if the flight is being done on a Boeing.

Tell that to the MAGA right-wing. They would tell you it’s due to DEI (Didn’t Earn It) initiatives. I am certain you’ve heard what the racist Charle Kirk said when he sees a black pilot.

They keep shaking up leadership but not the actual airline maintenance and design.

It was a 737-800, those were manufactured long before the Max..and before the current quality issues..

I'm thinking this latest incident is more a maintenance issue than a manufacturing issue..
