This is also a lesson of what the nature of government interests and protection of a company can do as much as it is the reverse. If Boeing wasn't so integral to national security and defense, and therefore too big to fail and catered to with defense budgets, maybe it would have failed and changed. It doesn't really have domestic competition. This is state failure and bureaucratic interests as much as corporate.
