“Can anyone fix Boeing?”

i would say no based on what i’ve read, namely that boeing pretty much doesn’t make anything themselves anymore, subbing out the construction of all major assemblies to nations around the world, many being almost 3rd world type of nations ... and on top of that, boeing wasn’t sending BOEING employees to supervise and conduct quality control during said assembly construction ... boeing wouldn’t be aware of problems until the assemblies were finally received at their assembly plants ... thus boeing has lost almost all ability to make things themselves ... i don’t really see how that can be fixed ... possibly someone like elon musk could buy boeing out of bankruptcy and pretty much start over, but even there, a quick fix would be unlikely ...

Did the unions push Boeing out of much of the production business?
