Speaking of that acquisition, certainly among the worst in history. Turned Boeing off the path of being an innovative engineering company in the Pacific Northwest with a great culture into a terrible MBA run company that happened to make airplanes that had its best facilities in Seattle, its decision makers in Chicago, its lines for their newest and most important wide-body plane in South Carolina and for engineering judgment to get pushed by the wayside in the name of shareholder value (of course McDonnell Douglas's culture taking over Boeing's wasn't the only issue, but it was a big one imo)
