Boeing Blows Its Rep

What the heck has happened to Boeing? I can remember a time, not too many years ago, when I was leery of flying on Airbus planes and preferred Boeing’s jets. Man, has that time ever passed.

You really have to wonder what happened to our premier commercial jet manufacturer. Their roll-out of the latest generation 737 Max was badly flawed and the flaw was then covered up, if the press is to be believed.

A fine reputation takes years to build and can be lost in a heartbeat. Boeing’s stockholders should press the board of directors to fire its top management en masse, and bring in “new brooms” committed to regaining its mojo. Seriously.
