Among the sea of nothingness and abbreviations (NMA, NSA, FSA), the phrase that caught my attention:
The guy's been sitting on the Boeing's board of directors for ELEVEN YEARS, and he still "wants to be sure he understands" the only two segments his company works in!!! I'm sorry but I don't think Boeing has any time for the chief's soul searching. What it needs is someone at the helm who actually knows what he's doing. And then it needs to brace for what looks increasingly like a fight for survival.
Too harsh?
Well, perhaps a bit. I suspect he intended to convey something slightly different but as it stands, it is a remarkably crass statement made at a time when Boeing cannot afford any more
PR disasters.
It is a terrible shame that a fine company, responsible for so many successful products, should be brought so low.
