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.

To Cletus.D.Yokel point, what if it has been on purpose?

Taking down American industry, production and manufacturing has been a slow and methodical number one goal, since the mid-60’s in my experience, in the case of buyouts for retirements thereafter, for example and when Boeing left Wichita for Left coast Seattle.😣

Can they come back from this current humiliating fail? Maybe?
A lot of tech and electronic advancements could change what production floor looks like, if less “craftsmanship”? Not exactly, of course, but you know what I mean— design, application and Equipment.

The BOEING name means a lot. I hate change working against historical the instrumental brands, though. Sap, am I.
