Is that right? I Never thought about that! It does make some sense, but Boeing, I think, is one institution trying to cooperate with the Marxist focus on DEI, over craftsmanship, which is being killing in broad daylight, everywhere. No?
Boeing means a lot to me personally, when they were located up the road in Wichita, from Oklahoma. Life friends of my parents were on the floor at Boeing during the war, while my mother and aunt were Rosie the Riverter, across the way at Cessna while my father was NAVY, and my uncle was ARMY, “over there”.
Hope Boeing makes a historic Comeback. They’ve earned their history.
Boingboing made their hugest mistake back in the 80’s when they moved their top floor to Chicago. The suits just couldn’t bring themselves to check what was going on on the floors and they started sliding. I’ve visited their training facility in Kent over the ensueing years and was always amazed at how under used it is. Doing minimal training is suicidal. Stopping in their surplus facility it’s always telling, the things that are no longer there. Kind of a small thing to most folks but when they cut back on training people how to sharpen tools that’s a huge “tell” to those of us who build stuff.
yup, me too.
probably sabotage or DEI incompetance.
