When Mr B cranked out thousands of jets way back a few had glitches but their reputation was good and people cut them some slack

Their reputation is now in shreds, one of the great corporate melt-downs - and so no-one cuts them any slack at all, ever. They brought upon themselves.
The turn came when a government made up a story about how their pilots performed perfectly and the plane still was impossible for any human to control and for some reason the CEO of Boeing clearly stated "It's ENTIRELY our fault."

It's a business case in how a CEO murders their own company.

The strangest part? Against the constant demand that corporations take full responsibility, when one does, the public tears them apart like a pack of wolves going after a wounded buffalo.
