I think there's two things going on:
1. The long-term vision at Boing: the investment in R&D, etc.
2. The short-term cashflow issues.
No amount of vision is going to save you from the cashflow crunch that a 96% drop in air travel is going to cause. [1]

To put this a different way: How could Boing have positioned itself to handle a dramatic drop in orders?
