Ruining McDonnell??? My guy, it's the other way around hahaha.

As one former exec lamented, "McDonnell bought Boeing with Boeing's own money" back in the late 90s.

Profit over quality was exactly why shitbox McDonnell couldn't keep their own lights on.

On the civilian side, yeah - but I thought we were talking military here.

Lessons learned: mergers reduce quality at both ends.

I can't be the only one who believes the military stuff would have also improved with a mix of quality engineers and quality management right?
