Boeing is a once great company that was committed to being run from the manufacturing side and is now committed to being run by the sales/investors’ side.

Matt Stoller, whose main interest is in monopolies/anti-trust, has written about this in some detail.

Apparently Spirit (not the airline) and Boeing use different tracking mechanisms for repairs/changes and they don't always share exactly what was done and by whom, and therefore doesn't always trigger the right inspection of the work.

Yikes.

Not sure I would blame capitalism because labor unions are a huge push against capitalism. And I understand the wanting profits aspect, but that’s because we allow our politicians to be on these boards and invest in these companies. That’s not really a free market if your elected officials are running the show and making laws to benefit their own pockets and the companies they are invested in.


It’s the government picking winners and losers.
