OK.

It’s a definition.

I don’t agree with it, but that’s a different matter.

That’s your opinion.

Never said otherwise. Similarly, your definition is purely “your opinion”.

It’s OK ... reasonable people can disagree without being disagreeable.

We are both correct. It’s really two different opinions. You can argue either way. Japanese or American vehicles in the U.S made by non-UAW labor outside of Detroit.

Never trust someone who doesn’t get their hands dirty.

The *only* place executives should ever come from is the shop floor.

Never met an honest person who didn’t sweat and get dirty at work. Never will.

Boeing’s Downfall - Before the McDonnell Douglas Merger

“Boeing today seems to be going from crisis to crisis, with its reputation in tatters and the press and much of the public reacting any time something happens to a Boeing aircraft – even if one of the pilots just SNEEZES wrongly.

But HOW or WHY did we get here? How did Boeing, a gem of a company, that was once the Gold Standard of aviation engineering, end up with their name getting dragged through the mud this way? And more specifically, what role did Boeing’s merger with McDonnell Douglas have, in making this happen?

Today I’m starting a series on… Boeing’s fall from grace. And in this episode, I will set the stage by taking a look at the history of Boeing and McDonnell Douglas, to show how different these giants were, as they headed to a “wedding” that many now wish had never happened.”
