Boeing turned to shit because successive executive teams looted the company.

I am not following how bombardier acquisition plays into this

It was McDonall Douglas, and post merger the MD executives largely took over the company. I don’t see Satya giving up the helm to Altman any time soon.

I see right. But the issue was not the acquisition per se, issue is clowns in charge to this day.
