    With how messed up Boeing has been for years, it’s wild that anyone is still buying their shit. Boeing used to be a driving force in innovation and safety and it all went to shit after merger with McDonnell Douglas when greedy corporate suits took over with profits being the only driving force.

    Fixed that for you

      I’ve watched some documentaries about Boeing and some former workers who were interviewed said they basically didn’t have any shortcuts or cost cutting involved and if something needed fixing, they made sure it was done. After McDonnell Douglas merger, it was the McDonnell suits that started fucking things up, they also moved headquarters out of the state where their main production line is (Washington) to Chicago.
