News about the failure of Thomas Cook today arrived in my in-box along with this link, from a friend in Canada.
https://newrepublic.com/article/154...ethiopian-airlines-managerial-revolutionAs Giles said in the Thomas Cook thread, there is a sickness at the top of major companies, with senior directors only concerned about their bonuses.
Boeing bought McDonald Douglas, a sick and failing company. The management of that company managed to infect Boeing with the same illness: now we have Boeing looking over a cliff: the 737MAX is fundamentally unsafe. I doubt it can ever be made sufficiently safe for the FAA to re-certify it. The only winner here is Airbus, their 320neo will clean up this sector. How is it that Airbus can develop a new aircraft properly, and Boeing failed? Corporate structure and management style, I believe.
