They should be focused on profit, because they haven't made a profit in almost 5 years now and Boeing is a very important company to the US. If Boeing ends up going bankrupt, the US government will 100% have to bail it out.

The reason that they're losing money is that nobody trusts their planes - because they're badly designed and prone to falling out of the sky.

Only their new McDonell Douglas planes. The old Boeing planes are still fine.
Question is, if the space division is the former or the latter.

Sure, but it's kind of a moot point when the issues have such an impact on consumer confidence.

That's inevitable. Management knows they're too big to fail.
