During train rides to downtown Chicago, I learned from a Boeing employee about the mess Boeing was in. As he explained, Boeing had thousands of contractors making all the parts for a plane, and there was not a good way to manage these contractors, resulting in parts that often didn't fit. This was very disturbing to our group on the train. I never knew the man's name, but he had worked at Boeing for a long time and was a pilot himself. When asked if he would fly on a new Boeing, he never answered us, which was even more disturbing. This was around the 2010 timeframe, so Boeing has been facing issues for a long time.
