They have, but they have left the cultural infestation behind. You'd need a complete purge of Boeing's leadership, as well as a re-integration of Spirit Aerosystems.

If you did that this afternoon, Boeing would cease to operate. There are no candidates ready and able to step in. They have to be trained, they have to gain experience, etc.

I don’t think even that would help. Culture is self-replicating. Everyone at Boeing today was hired based on that culture and socialized into it.
