Hey, no problemo. DEI hiring will take care of that.
My daughter graduated with highest honors in engineering physics and went to work for NASA in mission control for the ISS. Couldn’t stand it. It was classic government work with 30+ year civil service vets tamping out any young ambition. She went to a large aerospace contractor but it’s still a massive bureaucracy with no possibility for rapid advancement.
Now she’s changing fields entirely to find a field where she is allowed to excel. These employers are their own worst enemy.
Oh it's a lot more than that.
Aerospace doesn’t want talent, they want DEI. Skin color and homosexuality is all that matters.
“He’s currently seeking a new job with no shortage of interviews.”
Sounds like interviews are happening but job offers are not.
To continue your poem to the new employees: (ahem) ..you are a dolt. And "he" is a wench.
It’s a shame, all those young guys with finger arthritis already. Kind of hard for them to work on circuit boards, precision instruments, etc.
“Transvestite Lt. Col Bryan (Bree) Fram of the U.S. Space Force...”
Ah yes, the transvestite who urges correct pronoun usage.
He still has a full bird in his trousers?
He just started looking two weeks ago. He’s very well employed at NASA already.
I think you are rather misinformed.
I am quite plugged in to several industries, one is Aerospace, as besides following the trades, I still know people there. My first career in the US pre-peace dividend was in aerospace.
And lets say I have family in the business. I was twice given tours of Musk’s Hawthorne factory, invited to Vandenberg for a launch, etc.
Your conclusions are wrong. Patriot and HIMARS are a huge success, way beyond expectations, and that is causing rethink in East Asia. US combat aircraft production is far ahead of Russia and China, at @250 airframes/year. No western aerospace system has been “butchered”. The worst problem in Ukraine is that too little has been given to them, given the size of their opponent.
“Your conclusions are wrong. Patriot and HIMARS are a huge success...”
Which is why Russian glide bombs are SMASHING the hell out of Ukrainian cities.
Can’t have it both ways.
By the way, any luck on the Kerch Bridge? LOL.
Blowing up apartment buildings is a poor use for scarce cruise missiles. These should be aimed at important infrastructure, not civilian homes.
And, unfortunately, defending them is a poor use for scarce Patriot missiles. Scarce because the US Congress wont let the US send Ukraine more, and their resupply from other sources is difficult. So Ukraine has to choose which missiles to intercept. A bitter calculation.
The tradeoff for Russian manned aircraft however is excellent.
And that is the answer to the glide bombs. Thats what all those SU34’s were doing, popping up to high altitude to give the bombs speed and range. The risk is getting detected and targeted by long range SAMs. As we see.
The USAF, btw, has much better glide bombs (like the smallest, the SDB) with more range as they are aerodynamic, and stealth (or stealthier) aircraft to drop them. And this has been so for about 20 years.
The Russians are at least 20 years behind the US in this tactic and this type of weapon system. And in the rock-paper-scissors game of aerial warfare, the US has a dozen sorts of SEAD methods to further reduce the effectiveness of SAMs, none of which it seems the Russians have managed to implement. And then there is ... Well, by now you should get my point.
The Russian glide bombs are used against targets on or near the front line, not cities, because that was the safest approach to close air support the Russians could manage. Not so safe now it seems.
I thought you meant cruise missile attacks, which did change focus this year from infrastructure to “terror”.
Nice to say but take a look at the employment sections of all the large aerospace companies. They are cutting back on any entry level and the only openings are for those with years of experience or people of color. Just go check Boeing for example
