Start a new company and hire all the engineers. Not like we need any of the C staff to make it function. There's plenty you can do, the obstacle is regulatory capture rather than lack of options


Why would I want to hire all the engineers? Surely at least some share the blame. I don't really agree with you in general, but if I were starting a new company I'd probably be pretty selective about hiring Boeing engineers if I really thought it were a pervasive company culture problem.


Why is that your point of contention? If the goal is to have Boeing provide engineering capacity without all the cost cutting drama, all I'm suggesting is a change of governance.


Assuming there's a real cultural issue, I doubt that the C-suite is the entire problem. Just bringing in some new senior management is probably not the answer. You probably need to cull down to at least some level of mid-level people. At least that's what I would do.
