It has been a chaotic time to own shares of Boeing (NYSE: BA) stock. Since the tragic and deadly crashes of its aircraft in 2018, the company has been consistently in turmoil. Some events -- such as the COVID-19 pandemic shutdowns -- were out of its control, but most of this has been self-inflicted. Airline customers and flyers are worried about the quality of its aircraft, and rightfully so, as we saw earlier this year when a door flew off an Alaska Airlines aircraft 10,000 feet in the sky.
