When I think of the Ford boardroom, I picture a bunch of 80 year old guys sitting around waiting for gas prices to drop.
Boeing is in a different position than Ford. Boeing has a virtual monopoly and their only competition is Airbus. Boeing's problem was in production not sales. They could not meet demand. Boeing needed to streamline production and cutout some of the BS custom options and get rid of Stonecipher. They were offering over 100 different shades of white paint.
