>Boeing is going to be the case study of what happens when you let 'business people' take over an engineering company. A bunch of MBAs deciding to move numbers around on paper and losing sight of the bigger picture.
>The 737 MAX and all the issues with the 787 isn't what happens when engineers are in charge
engineers are culpable in the 737 max too - i'm pretty sure many engineers and test pilots, like that Forkner who was saying one thing to FAA while the other to his colleagues, knew about that ugly situation and the risks entailed, yet didn't blow the whistle even anonymously. Those aspects remind the VW dieselgate.
