The 717 was another sad case of Boeing incompetence, it is the best aircraft of its class, but Boeing did nothing with it and wouldn't entertain even the most minor modifications requested by potential customers.

Boeing just assumed the sales that didn't goto the 717 would goto the 737... yeah, that didn't happen.

They went to Embraer

The degree to which Boeing mismanged the McDD commercial properties after the merger just boggles the mind.

Stonecipher who was ousted as CEO of Boeing last year, was the CEO of McDonnel-Douglas when it merged with Boeing.
