B787 refueler aircraft?

When Boeing Corporate moved to Chicago, the management that was giving priority to engineering ended. The new priority was profit. They build their 787s here in North Charleston and there are no tours offered. Any efforts to unionize are slammed. Quality control suffered for a number of reasons, but the emphasis was build them fast. As you’re aware, the lack of proper quality control has practically halted deliveries. The Chicago Board needs to return or be split to put engineering oversight back to Seattle.

It’s called the coasting option.

Too bad that the Boeing Executive Suite avoided any meaning punishment (e.g., fines and jail).

I cannot believe that Boeing was stupid and greedy enough to put Airbus on top for the foreseeable future. So disappointed.

The fine isn't really much to Boeing, but the media stories might hurt them a bit. So what's going to happen to those supervisors and managers who forced the Charleston, SC Boeing safety people to ignore the problems? If the FAA pulled self-safety certification responsibilities away from Boeing, that would really get Boeing's attention.

Boeing jumps the shark. Details at 11. Meanwhile, Boeing execs get big bonuses.

On at least one of the referenced Airbus flights from S. America to Europe, the passengers ended up on the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean.

Well, it seems Boeing leadership was in the midst of saving lots of money when everything 737 Max went south. There are 346 people who were sacrificed to those savings and the decentralization of control. As stated by other commenters, Boeing's upper management needs to be swept away and common sense and safety restored.
