> Boeing spent $43B on stock buybacks between 2013 and 2019 while paying their CEO ~$30M/year.

Boeing share price was up almost 400% in that period. If the business goal was to maximise share price and therefore return for investors over that period it was a cracking success.

Since the US government will always pick up the pieces in the event of a failure its a minimal risk stratagy.
