It was the *management* that ignored warnings. The &amp;quot;compromises&amp;quot; were demanded by *management*.&lt;p&gt;Boeing is not an engineering culture, it is an MBA culture. This is the result.&lt;p&gt;It is clear, by deadly example, that Boeing *management* is not capable of running a company that produces a safe plane. It is, after all, difficult to get a man to understand something, when his salary depends on his not understanding it.&lt;p&gt;All the engineering ethics in the world does nothing against the greed of Boeing&amp;#x27;s management.</text></comment>
