Things like this were bound to happen. Boeing not only outsource the detail design fabrication from the majority of the airplane parts. They’re also outsourcing the inspection. Boeing doesn’t want to do an inspection for incoming parts. The only inspections being done is by the mechanic when he tries to install the part and it doesn’t work.
They want to keep some kind of scoring system, which is somehow going to bring the quality of suppliers up.
Most of the suppliers Don’t even want to work with Boeing anymore. First they pay less then Airbus. Airbus buys more parts because they build more airplanes then Boeing now. And Airbus doesn’t try to squeeze their suppliers over cost and schedule the way Boeing does. Everyone wants to be airbus number one supplier. Boeing has a bad reputation that’s not been getting any better.
History will repeat itself as usual. After a fix they'll pull out the Men in Black neuralizer wand and wave it, and people will forget.

BUT -- we have lots of nuts, their running the company.
Don't think the dollar will become worthless but Boeing is worthless and untrustworthy.
We heard all this BS in the past...companies too big to fail and startups too small to succeed. Both have happened. It is now certain Boeing will ultimately fail and COMAC will eventually be the second option to Airbus (also laughed about in the past) in the large transport airplane duopoly. It's just a matter of time. SpaceX already owns Space except for the remaining corrupt government funding of ULA. Boeing has nothing special that couldn't be done far better and far lower cost by other companies.
This is nuts.
The only way boeing goes bankrupt is if the dollar becomes worthless. With out government substitutes boeing would never exist as a private company...
Boeing is not made in America anymore. Have you’ve seen the Renton plant lately? The white people are trailer trash. The blacks are ghetto. The asians can’t speak engrish. Everybody only wants to show up to work being 60-70% of the time on their phones. A bunch of lazy fuqs. It’s practically made in China now. lol
Stock price over Safety will be the end of Boeing:

Right, the butt plug should have been prosecuted along with all his cohorts and sent to prison long ago. This is the continuing sad saga you are forced to live with when this doesn’t happen.
Don't think Boeing's long term prospects are very favorable given how they tossed all their best people and processes to the curb for nepo executive wealth generation. Aerospace wasn't ever easy even though Boeing's best people once made it look that way...and their nepo executives didn't know any better or more likely just simply didn't care about the long term...only their short term bonuses.
It's very hard to successfully compete in aerospace without having the best people and the best processes...and Boeing is now paying the price for abandoning both. And it would be impossible to remedy this dilemma given their deep debt and endless quarterly losses so bankruptcy will most likely be the end result. The only question is when?
The Boeing company...loose nuts and numb nuts unfit for aerospace.
Not only did Boeing dump all their best people, they also dumped all their self-created, proven and highly refined processes that once enabled them to design and manufacture the best and safest airplanes in the world for hyped up and outsourced third party processes.
