    It appears that the door design is unchanged from the previous generation.

    The problem is not with any specific part of the design or any model of plane. Grounding the Max again will not help past fixing this specific fault.

    It is the fundamental corporate culture. The same poor QA, both in design and production, affects all current Boeing aircraft.

      The MIT Sloan School of Business has generationally harmed companies. They preach people management (no technical leadership) and multiple layers of managers. All decisions are top down. Feedback is not present. Information does not flow up, only status.

      The stock market incentivizes quarterly and annual goals over long term stability, morality, and ethics. No business with such short term goals will ever succeed long term. I firmly believe that no business can be trusted that’s publicly traded.
