Manufacturing in a malaise, but at least Boeing is still Boeing, helping balance of payments - - always prime and on time?



Malaise, Detroit, and Ross Perot's "giant sucking sound." But Boeing is Boeing; or is Boeing not?

Boeing was Boeing. That we know.

But is the luster waning, is tarnish present, is sloth one of seven deadly sins?

It's a question that's been blogged, and not by novices. And not by professional nit-picking nay-saying nabobs of negativism. Worse, far worse. By analytical mechanical engineers. An apparent chorus. They can be hard. Blunt. Direct.

Merciless and unyielding.

Probably intended as an insider thing, my hope is that linking to it will not cause the author to pull the post - post here, comments, here.

Too much Dream in the Dreamliner? Not enought schedule discipline to getting the ---liner part of it onto the line? You decide.
