Does Boeing have any recent projects that are an unmitigated success? Everything I see from them is about a new project being a disaster in some manner.

The fact they are even running is quiet surprising. The demographic of Boeing had an average age around 60 change to around 30 In A matter of 5 years. The amount of experience lost is crazy.

The 777X is moving along, albeit somewhat slowly. Boeing has just been limping along.

That’s not an encouraging thought. After the MAX debacle it’s hard to imagine Boeing not launching another death machine. I’ll be sure to steer clear of their new fancy plane.
