“I’m not surprised they’re having serious troubles now. Too bad, really, but McDonnell-Douglas owns the problems.”
That’s what happens when you let a has been company take over management of the most successful airline manufacturer.

Boeing could save money by getting rid of all their American citizen (white) engineers and staff and contracting out to an India contractor.

Great idea!

Boeing certainly knows how to discourage whistle blowing.

Moving what was left of Boeing management to Chicago.

But Chicago had an Opera house. Dallas didn't. (Dallas learned from that. They built an Opera house and now have opera.)

Please elaborate, because Boeing will deliver hundreds of these this year. Is this what you meant by “dropping like flies”?

I was being sarcastic. The aircraft is very reliable.
