No shit they can't even get a 747 right

Nah, 747 is largely okay, it’s from the era when Boeing was run by engineers and most of the design flaws have been resolved. The stuff to worry about is what they’ve been designing since merging with McDonnell-Douglas and the finance people took charge. They seem to be cutting corners everywhere to try to boost that Wall Street share price, and they’re paying the piper now.
