New defense CEO, same mess underneath. The FAA still won’t sign off on the production ramp-up, and we’re stuck, again. While we’re left waiting, leadership’s busy rearranging org charts and pretending that’s progress. I'm getting so, so tired of this place.

Boeing is like a spoiled child. The government puts the company in a corner for a time out then afterwards they become a repeat offender. No meaningful penalties then you are bound to be a repeat offender.
Expect Boeing to fail over and over. It's built into the new world order.
They underbid all of their defense programs will be a decade or more before they show a profit
The company was given more than enough compensation for its fixed prices projects, such as presidential aircraft and refueling tanker. The problem lies with poor leadership and resource management.
Unless the government allows him to renegotiate fixed price contracts, forget it.
Expect Boeing to repeat everything that got us into this mess over and over again. They never learn to just play by the rule book.

Expect a global re-balancing in market share for this aircraft class
