Boeing aircraft had a reputation for building robust products. Indeed, more than one has flown with parts of the wing missing or with the top peeled off. But the one thing Boeing may not survive is bad management. This Slate article lays out the dirty details on how management worked using two driving values: greed and hubris. It is indeed a sad tale to see Boeing spiraling down to 40 percent of market share. It is even more frightening to read that it could be out of the commercial market within 10 years.
Things at work are, as fellow Daynoter Sjon put it "normal." As in situation normal, all fouled up. So I gotta go. But before I go, congratulations to Daynoter John Doucette in his recent marriage. Congratulations and best wishes to John and Emma.
Aloha!
