@caseyjennings i have no deep knowledge of Stonecipher. these last months i've been following a lot of media / podcast takes on WTF Boeing, and it's pretty common in them to blame Stonecipher, for McDonnell Douglas / GE "culture" and the outsourcing decision. i'm frustrated with leaving explanations at "culture", and was reading pocket histories of Boeing's CEOs ( Wikipedia, also https://www.historyoasis.com/post/boeing-ceo-history ) when i realized he was very unusually an outside hire, thought abt that, came up with this.
