Boeing is a good example of the opposite --- out of success comes failure --- when you allow greed to become the driving force.
Boeing is guilty of lack of foresight, lack of technical proficiency, lack of engineering culture. The problem is stupidity. Incompetence. Putting powerpoint monkeys and financial finanglers in charge and relegating the problem-solvers to the lower reaches of the pyramid.
They didn't lack any of those things. They had all of this in the recent past but intentionally dismantled it --- for the sake of quick profit --- aka greed.
If this is their attempt at making a quick buck then it is the work of idiots.
I will contend further that trying to make a quick buck out of a massive, ongoing company with long-term potential is also the work of idiots - simply don’t rock the boat and you’ll make billions upon billions more.
They lack a true engineering culture that goes all the way to the top.
