This was when the engineers ruled and before lawyers and accountants took over. The slogan 'Working Together' and the philosophy they have is the engineer's perspective. No one wins and no one loses. When I watch today's Boeing documentary, it's now about winning, doesn't matter who the opponent is.

This was a time at Boeing when stock buybacks and maximizing shareholder value were not a part of the aircraft's engineering design. It was close, though. I think it was in 1997 when Boeing announced a 'merger' with MD.

The Boeing company should've placed Allan Mulally as new company CEO. He was the very best, knowledgeable individual Boeing has had since Bill Allen. The 777 became an instant success and a "hot sell" for Boeing under Mulally's great leadership in the program. The airplane simply wasn't overlooked by many airlines that needed something of it's size and capacity. I should also note, according to specifics, if Allan Mulally was leading the company, we wouldn't probably see a MCD takeover and we would've seen the 757 become a totally new "clean sheet" airplane since the airplane was already popular among very many airlines. I did give some credit to Phillip Condit as well, but it was unfortunate, the turn of leadership and what it was to become within the company.

No. This was back during the golden years of Boeing before the merger when engineers ran the company. The 777-200 & -300 have proven to be some of the best, safest, most well designed Boeing airplane in history. This is actually a perfect example to the contrary - this was a non-load bearing surface where cracks were purely an aesthetic issue. It's the equivalent of poor surface finish or paint bubbles. Even so, they still ultimately decided to find another way even though it would cost more money because they felt it could lead to a negative perception of quality having to explain to the airlines and passengers that on these specific surfaces tiny cracks are okay. The current Boeing would NEVER debate something like this and would never listen to the opinion of engineers pushing to spend more money to fix non-safety issues - they won't even listen to engineers on ACTUAL safety issues.
