She notes NASA has seen “improved transparency” from the Boeing team, credited to a change in Boeing management and increased staffing.

And it’s bad optics for the program.
Based on current estimates, as there a chance to see Starliner and Crew Dragon at the ISS at the same time?

Since November 2020 there has always been a Crew Dragon at ISS, right? Thus, when the Starliner CFT flight visits ISS, there will be a Starliner and a Crew Dragon at ISS. When OFT-2 visited ISS, both were there at the same time.

When OFT-2 visited ISS, both were there at the same time.There was a brief gap between Crew-2 and Crew-3. No guarantees of that not happening again, and as long as the seat-swap agreement continues it can happen without leaving the ISS without any US crewmembers.
