I have no idea what you are trying to say, but you appear not to know that the McDonnell Douglas merger was forced upon Boeing by the US government as a ‘cheap’ way to save McDonalds Douglass. Boeing didn’t really have a choice in the matter.

It would be highly improbable that the people making those kinds of decisions could successfully regulate an airline industry, or even the much easier task of spam.

The US government has also gone to great lengths to protect Boeing from competition by boxing out concord, canadian aircraft, and embraer . I think such companies like Boeing should be considered for-profit arms of the government instead of independent corporations.
