Not to mention the halt in deliveries of KC-46A tankers to the USAF because of quality control issues.

I am surprised that the issues with the KC-46A have not received more public notice. Boeing is in deep trouble because its management has compromised the quality of their aircraft. In recent years, my experience as a passenger has been that new Airbus models have better fit and finish and better attention to detail. Several airline pilots I know are scathing in their comments about the declining quality of Boeing’s aircraft. Like the US auto industry, Boeing’s management embraced financial engineering and cost-cutting over actual aircraft engineering.
