> Boeing management and shareholder comp crippled the org on its own just fine

Don’t get me wrong, I think the private equity model of financially oriented management is a problem. Employees and unions do share blame though. Remember, an IAM worker forgot bolts on the door plug. And SPEEA workers (the other union) designed MCAS poorly and didn’t build redundancy on dirt cheap sensors where there was no reason to avoid it. Boeing’s floor is inefficient and a shock to anyone who works with Boeing, due to union territorial issues and frankly a lazy culture. All these things have contributed significantly to Boeing’s decline, in addition to bad leadership.
