Since the late 90s/early 00's this type of concerns / horrible culture shifts and strategic mistakes were known and by the time the Dreamliner came out it was common knowledge even in the mainstream. Of course when the Max 8's started to fall and killing people everybody pretended to be shocked and surprised again.
And of course the "incidents" are always "different and not related", but as any very complex system goes, these "incidents" always end up happening due to the same root cause.
And yet again another evidence nobody learned anything with the latest big scandal of 2018/19, Boeing actively lobbied to reduce and get even more exceptions for QA and safety rules AFTER 2019.
During the 00's it was already clear many of their planes were clearly not the best on the market for various reasons, but a few phone calls from key people in the US government to the prospective buyers would always "help" the customer to make the "right buying decision", so new orders were always arriving, money coming in, stock and compensations for the big wigs was obviously sky high so anyone who raised any concerns was always ignored or fired, but by that time Boeing was already rotten.
I just pray I'm wrong and all of those planes don't crash until they are retired, but the new ones seem to be even worse.. so I don't know..
