What has happened to Boeing is upper management which used to be engineers and scientists, has been taken over by MBA's. These guys know nothing of science and technology; are money obsessed; and have rattled the culture of excellence that Boeing used to have. It is a tragedy and they have diminished the former excellence of the company. MBA's are expert at ruining companies (Boeing is not the first) as they think they know everything but in fact are just glorified accountants with no other skills.They should all be fired (from all companies). Think of who started most of the major companies in this country - never an MBA - and who runs them well- never an MBA !!!!!
