I see a lot of Boeing’s problems being blamed on the merger with McDonnell Douglas and the management takeover by MBA’s, but their planes are just as safe today as they have ever been. The 737 rudder design issue in the 90s happened before McDonnell Douglas.

There is so much talk everywhere now about how Boeing was a perfect company that always did right before the merger. These seem to come from documentaries that completely ignore how when it came to accidents Boeing before the merger consistently tried to either blame pilots, generally obfuscate investigations and downplay design flaws.
You mentioned the 737 rudder issues, add to that the 767 thrust reversers deploying in flight, and downplaying the potential for the creation of flammable conditions in the fuel tanks both before and after TWA 800.
