Wonder if there is any chance that Boeing could lure Mullally out of retirement for a few years to get the ship righted and back on-course...
Making Condit the CEO instead of Mullally back in about 1995 was perhaps the biggest mistake - every misstep traces back to that (particularly the focus on 'shareholder value' and the merger with MacDac).
