The Boeing and McDonnell Douglas Merger was a mistake.

100% correct, joining a purposeful, safety-driven company from the pnw with a yeehaw govt-profits military contractor whose products were subpar was always going to be a harmful merger.

So many people in long beach CA lost their jobs due to managerial idiots who decided a headquarters in Chicago would be appropriate for a company whose production base was mainly in the Seattle area.

The resultant quality speaks for itself.

Every large merger is a huge mistake in the long run. Every company should be locally owned and locally managed, ideally as some type of worker's co-op.
