I am in the certified aircraft design and manufacturing world. In just the past two years dozens of PhD level engineers have retired and after years of layoffs from Boeing aren’t about to go back for consultant positions. Especially when they have to go through the horrible HR departments. Even the most hardcore DEI fanatics in the aviation industry know they can’t replace the boring old white men with transexual black lesbians. And no amount of H1B workers from India can make up for what the industry has taken for granted and lost.
None of that registers as accurate.
