Could it be a purposeful effort by foreign entities to discredit and dilute american corporate giants reputations by placing sympathetic people into positions that would bring that about?

why would boeing need help damaging its reputation? It seems to be doing a great job of that on its own.

So you dont think the people running things could be put there by any actions of a foreign nature? For instance a hiring manager, hr executive, or someone in a similar role?

I think its more if you look at what they did and the problems they're having all came after a merger with McDonnel Douglas and seem to be a typical case of corporate "fire people for reporting bad numbers" aka "kill the messenger" along with lots of outsourcing. Which results in numbers go up but at the cost of QA/QC.

This is all standard reaganomics and like nearly every other company that went down this road while selling real physical products they're now reaping the fruits they've sown for over 20 years.

Not everything has to be a conspiracy.

People downvote you, but that could well be true.

Then still the right course of action would be very different from supporting and bailing out etc the contaminated organization.

And then one can also think about other organizations possibly contaminated.
