text: What is driving Boeing down the tube is poor management decisions. The 777 cost approximately 14 billion to develop, the 787 cost somewhere between $32 -$50 billion. The airplane was 3 years late to delivery and cost billions more in late delivery fees. The company decided it needed a new computer system that ended up costing hundreds of millions more for a system that was a disaster. It was the Corporate Big Whigs who not only sent the build but also the design of parts all over the world, vendors could not only keep up with production and many of the designs were out of specification.  These are the same Big Whigs who received millions upon millions of dollars in bonuses for delay after delay.
