I'm someone who has written embedded S/W for "companies like Boeing". I've never 
had the "pleasure" of working on bare metal; when working for such companies, we 
always used an RTOS such as VxWorks or Lynx.

I don't see why you wouldn't want to do as "companies like Boeing" do and use 
RTEMS or MaRTE, or even Debian.
