Watching that, I couldn't help but remember my father (who hasn't worked for Boeing since before I was born) saying in the mid-90s:

> McDonnell Douglas bought Boeing with Boeing's money, which is a great trick if you can pull it off.

Similarly all of the great software engineers I've worked with did a stint at Boeing that coincidentally ended when MD bought it.
Every MD employee I know (grand total of 2) left the company after the Boeing merger and thought Boeing ruined everything. The two people that I know were in the space sector however, so it could be different depending on where in the companies you were.
