Boeing Ethics

From Reuters on 11/11/03:

"WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Boeing Co.(NYSE:BA - News), banned in July
from launching government satellites for illegally acquiring a
competitor's documents, on Tuesday unveiled a new internal ethics
office reporting
directly to company Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Phil Condit.
.....
The move comes as Boeing continues to wait for the Air Force to lift
its suspension of three Boeing units from government work, a move that
had been expected months ago."


You've got to wonder if the Air Force isn't waiting for bigger
heads to roll down Boeing's HQ steps first.

The heads are finally rolling. Long overdue.

.... to be replaced by "Hatchet Harry" Stonecipher, former
CEO of the late, great McDonnell Douglas. A move that is
symbolic of Boeing's transformation from a commercial
airline builder into a defense contractor. Now all
Mr. Stonecipher has to do is to divest the company of that
moribound commercial airplane division that resides near

"CHICAGO (Reuters) - Boeing Co. (NYSE:BA - News) In a surprising move
today, Boeing announced that it would be again moving its
headquarters, this time from Chicago to the city of St. Louis, MO.
"I'm tired of having to root for losing sports teams" said Chief
Executive Harry Stonecipher. "The Cards, Blues, and Rams beat the
Cubs, Blackhawks, and Bears any day of the week. Also, Chicago's a
little too fashionable for our comfort. We feel a decayed and dead
urban area surrounded by congested miles of suburbs better fits the
new McDonnel-Boeing." In unrelated news, Boeing announced today it
would start referring to itself as Mcdonnel-Boeing Aerospace, and
change its ticker symbol to MCDB.

In other news, MDDB Commercial Aircrafts Group has reorganized
its products under a new product naming scheme.

The new designators include the MDB-71, MDB-74, MDB-76, MDB-77, and MDB-E
product lines, along with the MDB-17 military transport aircraft.

Rumors abound that Airbus will be retaliating in the newly
escalating product designation war, but details on their scheme
are not yet publically available. An Avleak reporter did state
that he'd seen staff unloading a large poster which appeared
to depict what was formerly known as the A-380 product, with
the letters "Personelle-38" at the bottom. But so far no
confirmation of the new P-38 designation was available.

Do you think Condit's decapitation was due to the tanker/EELV ethics
scandals, the FIA mess, other things(*), all of the above...?

(*) I'm still interested in the possibility that the Missile
Defense Agency committed a deliberate and substantial violation
of the Antideficiency Act with Boeing's assistance. See the
"Moss Sirius" threads in s.m.naval.

All of the above. When a company's employees, some even
at the "Chief Executive" level, break Federal law on more
than one occasion, that company is seriously lacking in
leadership. A well-led, ethical company would compete for
U.S. taxpayer money fairly by offering superior technical
solutions, not through cheating, theft, and bribery.
