Boeing turned to shit after acquiring another company (not sure of the name), and it changed the culture and leadership

I think you mean McDonnell Douglas, it's what happens when companies fire all the engineers in charge and replace them with beancounters.

Boeing turned to shit because successive executive teams looted the company.

I am not following how bombardier acquisition plays into this

It was McDonall Douglas, and post merger the MD executives largely took over the company. I don’t see Satya giving up the helm to Altman any time soon.
