The question is when, if ever, Boeing gets it act together and returns to quality design and production of airplanes?
When will it purge itself of the toxic McDonnell-Douglas culture?

Global, I'm seeing some positive signs (I know a few Boeing 'new hires' and occasionally see one of the 'older' hands that are still there), but the progress is painfully slow.
Then again, I said something similar shortly before the MAX MCAS hit the fan

I truly hope so, the company means so much to our area, and it’s employees, not to mention the tremendous resource to our national economy and security.

However, in March the Air Force shifted course on its future tanker modernization effort. Top leaders announced plans to speed up the acquisition of its most advanced future tanker, which was redubbed NGAS, to the mid- to late-2030s, and to cut in half the number of interim tankers it would buy.

Is that an acroymn for No Gas? Judging by the 767 fiasco it might well end up that way, they will still be arguing in the courts by the mid 2030's
