It looks like there is something very rotten recently about the culture of Boeing. I wonder if any of it is due to the HQ been moved away from the engineering base in Seattle to Chicago?

Indeed, this podcast by the Daily podcast (New York Times) is very enlightening about the cultural shift that came with the move: https://www.nytimes.com/2019/04/23/podcasts/the-daily/boeing...

If people working in your quality managment quit because they have issues squaring current behaviour with their conscience, you have a real cultural problem.
