And those had big cost overruns too.
I’m seeing a pattern here...
I worked at Ingles when they were being built and IIRC the unions demanded 1/3 more workers on the job than were necessary.
They also refused to correct the mistakes found in the blueprint design. They continued to build the ships with the mistakes as laid out in the blueprints, then cut out the mistakes and rebuild it where it would work.
A lot of the mistakes were small mistakes because of equipment upgrade from the time the ship was designed. New equipment simply didn't fit the design.
A lot of the union workers were just plain lazy SOB’s too. What should have taken one person 2 hours took 2 people 8 hours.
They also did sloppy work that had to be redone or even rip out other work just do it for the first time then redo the work that had to be ripped out.
Because of the different unions the work could never be coordinated so things could be completed in any kind of order.
Simply coordinating the work with the different departments would have cut cost dramatically.
