#3I do get the impression that the current Boeing CEO is attempting to turn the culture around, to a more "admit the problem and fix it" kind of attitude. The problem is that, if you are doing this after many years of "deny the problem and ship it", the number of apparent problems is actually going to go up for a while. I wonder if Boeing's customers and shareholders will have enough patience for him to complete the transformation (assuming that's even possible in a company this size)?

#4This is to the point where, although it's irrational but I know statistically I'd be fine, I'd be scared to fly on any new generation Boeing.

Boeing needs to dump the CEO and install someone from an engineering lineage if they want to build their reputation back.
An engineering company run by a longtime manager with a background in accounting is in large part how Boeing got here. Fire the guy and get someone with a technical background in there.

Boeing’s customers have no choice. There is only one other option in town, and Airbus is at capacity for quite a few more years. The only threat Boeing has is governments fining them. So as long as governments (or the US government) let Boeing continue to function, there should be sufficient time to fix culture.

I'm not sure it's irrational at this point. The entire program seems to have been grossly mismanaged, and that includes on the FAA side.

Airlines can switch your plane after you've booked already.

I thought I read they were planning to cut back on quality control staff this year. Was that true? Did it change?
