Boeing, once known for building safe and advanced planes, is now facing a reputational disaster due to a series of incidents. These include a fuselage blowing off a plane, investigations revealing sloppy work and quality issues, worldwide groundings, and two fatal crashes resulting in 346 deaths. Experts and critics attribute Boeing's problems to a shift in corporate culture that prioritized profits over safety. Despite Boeing's denial, its engineering and manufacturing problems have contributed to its financial decline, losing over $26 billion in the last five years. While Boeing insists that quality and safety remain a priority, critics argue that there has been a cultural change within the company that prioritizes profits over safety and quality. The recent incidents have led to a federal probe into Boeing's manufacturing practices and plans for Congressional hearings. Boeing halted production to address quality issues and has expressed its commitment to regain the confidence of customers and the flying public. However, critics argue that this crisis is different from previous problems and believe there has been a cultural shift within the company. The consolidation of the American defense and aerospace industry in the 1990s, including Boeing's merger with McDonell Douglas, is seen as a turning point where profits became more important than quality and safety.
