If SpaceX didn't exist, and it were all up to Boeing to rebuild our human space program the way SpaceX has, do you think that Boeing would have been able to achieve the same accomplishments and have the same success that SpaceX is having right now?
What do you think will be the next great thing that Boeing will accomplish in aerospace? Is there anything Boeing can do to boost morale and save jobs at this point?
If SpaceX didn't exist, Boeing would be taking years to figure out how to fix (or cover up) problems with its MCAS software continually pointing their spacecraft toward Earth shortly after being launched...
SpaceX pays for 40 hours a week, but expects employees to work 60 hours a week. They also prefer new grads with no experience and gives them very small raises.
What SpaceX has achieved will take Boeing ...100 years. Simple is SpaceX has a smart leadership.
They built 450 737 max airplanes after the grounding, according to the CNN article.
That is beyond belief. These people are still running Boeing?
This the worst corporate blunder ever and it’s not even over yet !!!
Boeing's Max debacle could be the most expensive corporate blunder ever.

The 20-month grounding of the 737 Max fraud could end as soon as this week,
But Boeing's mounting costs have soared to tens of billions of dollars.
That means the plane maker's repeated safety oversights and mismanagement
were tragic, but also rank among the expensive corporate fraud in history.
Direct Costs
Boeing has detailed about $20 billion in direct costs from the grounding:
$8.6 billion in compensation to customers for having their planes grounded,
$5 billion for unusual costs of production, and $6.3 billion for increased costs
of the fraudulent 737 program known as Max.
The company also spent nearly $600 million for jet storage, pilot training and
software updates that are not included in the company's overall cost estimate.
It also established a $100 million victim compensation fund, which is also not
included in Boeing's $20 billion in estimated costs.
So the costs of the grounding “Released By Boeing” total $20.7 billion.
Of course this figure is based on Boeing’s notorious felonious accounting.
If financial damage from the 737 Max remains in the $20 billion range,
that would not put it in the running for the most expensive fraud by a company.
Volkswagen has spent €32 billion, or $38 billion, on its emissions cheating scandal.
Of course the Volkswagen BoD went to prison for their crime. Where as in the U.S.
Murder for profit is acceptable corporate behavior.
The most expensive mistake to date is the $68 billion cost to BP of the Deepwater
Horizon explosion and oil spill of 2010.

Thank goodness for someone like Elon Musk to revive the U.S. space industry. Otherwise, Boeing would just be delivering another "Space Max" debacle. So costly and embarrassing:

Boeing’s bid to build a spacecraft capable of flying NASA astronauts to the
moon didn’t meet NASA’s requirements, and the company was going to
lose out on a contract worth hundreds of millions of dollars.
But NASA was worried that the corrupt corporate giant would protest the
contract award, potentially holding it up for months at a time when the space
agency was trying to meet a White House mandate to get astronauts to the
lunar surface by 2024.
So in February, Doug Loverro, then the head of NASA’s human exploration
directorate, called Jim Chilton, the senior vice president of Boeing’s space and
launch division, to explain that the company was going to lose the contract and
to inquire whether it would file a challenge, according to two people with
knowledge of the situation.
That call, which occurred during a period when the agency
was to have no contact with any of the bidders, is now the subject of
Investigations by NASA’s inspector general and the Justice Department
Into the integrity of the procurement process with a company that has
No integrity according to multiple people.
It also led NASA Administrator Jim Bridenstine to force Loverro to abruptly
resign in May of 2020

First question answer is no.
They rather spend money on stock buybacks.
Not on research and development. Saving money on engineering is like hiring a cheap brain surgeon. Pay now or pay later.
Second question answer is, they need to go back the the leadership style before the merger. Also anyone responsible for the 737 max disaster should be fired and prosecuted.
Next great thing from Boeing? Go for ZERO!!! ZERO employees, that is. LOL
LISTEN
Boeing can't even tell the time.
