Boeing and the Tanker (cont) Boeing is plagued by bad management that is so far behind on delivery of their new 787 that they may start losing contracts. Their loss of the tanker contract is due almost exclusively to management arrogance and their insistence on delivering a rehashed version of a cargo plane they have been making for years which had almost none of the specs the military said it had to have. Boeing is running out of political clout due to their continuing bullshit. Management at Boeing sucks.
