Boeing once was an engineering company with an attached sales department. In 2001, when it moved its headquarters to Chicago, it became a dealership with an attached engineering wing. The philosophical difference is profound. It is time for the company to find [its way] back to its roots. source

Boeing ain't what it used to be.

People were sounding warnings over 16 years ago.

What's really sad about all of this is that Boeing had a perfectly good platform to compete, but misread the future. If they had kept the 757 platform (single-isle/narrow body) they would have easily been able to develop it into the platform they were striving for with the 737-max.

Airbus introduced the A320 as a competitor to the 757.

"It was only 346 people; we feel the bigger tragedy is the tone and lack of sensitivity of the people who tried to prevent those 346 deaths.

The company official said the language used and sentiments expressed in these communications “are inconsistent with Boeing values, and the company is taking appropriate action in response.”

The comments caused the failure, huh? Maybe someone should have listened to these commentators before things went wrong.

I would say in this case they're more like open flames and gasoline.
