Boeing used to have quality,but it escaped, apparently sometime aroundwhen it mergedwithMcDonnell Douglasin 1997.
The results have been catastrophic, as HBOs funny Sunday night news man John Oliver explains.
Corporate culture is a hell of a thing.
Im not sure there has ever been a more aggressive about-face on a companys view by the global public.

Anyway, go watch Oliver explain it.
Its a good video.
