Remember when computers were relatively new to the average people? Back then, it was touted as "going paperless". Whatever happened?
I think the point is that anything and everything that has not been by the book, following rules, regulations and best practices is coming out and will continue to come out. The best thing for Boeing to do is to raise these issues themselves with plans on how to address them. Each time something, even something petty, comes out it further tarnishes Boeing's image. We the ppl, investors and Boeing should not be surprised by these failures, missteps, errors or coverups, it will all come out, new CEO or not.
If Boeing started development of the 737 MAX immediately after the 737NG started flying, would things have played out better for the company?
Every time I read/hear about another problem at Boeing, I think about this program:

Like much of society, the standards decreased in quality of not just the that of individual training and education standards but worse, the standard of ethics and values needed to do the job right with no acceptance of failure.
Failure is expected. It is inevitable. But, repeated failure based on lack of standards is not. You cannot learn from that.
I also fear the "must have it now" attitude of the younger generations is creating a cut in quality standards. They may not realize it but they've also created an acceptable rate of failure.

That's a hell of a fine for a paperwork error.
My cost of product is going up so much on the Boeing/Aviall supply line, I swear they're trying to make up elsewhere for all the loss taken on the Max. My business is paying the price.
