Nonetheless, it is not uncommon to talk about other companies and their ways, even "insulting" some of the desicions they request.
Usually these "insults" are kept within a company, and depending on the situation forgotten about rather quickly.
Bringing them forward, like it is done now, seems more like a witch-hunt than anything else.
I'm not gonna protect Boeing, or other companies for that matter. But think about how you speak of other companies/people when you think it's "confidential".... or even about some of the posts that are thrown up on this forum.
