Boeing needs far fewer MBAs and a good many more engineers.
Oh, and they can scrap ALL of this diversity crap. Either someone can design/build/repair or they cannot. Testing will reveal the truth. Failures can go to a place where talent is not an issue: politics/journalist/marshmallow studies profs.
I think they are already screwed.
Once a technology and engineering driven company is infested with MBAs it is very rare for it to recover.
“Boeing needs far fewer MBAs and a good many more engineers.”
Indeed.
Most engineering is out-sourced. Every now and then a crop of recent university graduated Boeing engineer hires are paraded through during their orientation and usually the crop is around a dozen or so. I made a point of counting diversity points. Less than half of the recent hires were white males, most were a combination of females and minorities. (And the minorities/females usually had a higher entry salary than the white males. Seems women and minority engineers are in demand).
