>Boeing, for what it's worth, has learned from their mistakes with this project

okay, learning is good

>they will never accept fixed-price contracts again

Yeah, that's not the lesson they should take from this fiasco.

Given how Boeing was reportedly acting regarding the development of a new crew vehicle[1], the hubris shown seems to be systemic, top to bottom. I have no empathy for the Boeing management that got them into this situation, and if their takeaway is "we're just not going to accept contracts like this", and not, "we need to deeply change how we engineer solutions", then coupled with the 737-max tragedies, Boeing can go bankrupt for all I care.
