Then they came for Boeing...
Diversity Aircraft
More than just DEI. Corporate culture mirrors society. Americans have become entitled, complacent, and too reliant on technology as the end all be all. Mediocrity is now not only acceptable but desirable.
My impression from being put at Boeing by my company for about a month was that Boeing had been developing systemic structural organization problems that were leading to bad decisions, poor quality and a host of other issues. Some of the problems at this point are not easily resolved. Selling contracts to Spirit with its own notable problems will continue to result in embarrassments if only because they have separate databases that started out with Spirit having a copy of the original. Both databases have grown, but not in the same way. Also, both companies have developed workarounds to get away from using a horribly awkward problem resolution system imposed by the FAA. That’s why the door fell off that Alaska plane. To get away from all these problems would require getting all the parties together and examining each other’s underwear. It would be a horrible process and reveal things that could potentially turn into lawsuits. Not likely to happen.
They lowered their hiring standards.
I am shocked.
I hope they can get it together because Airbus is more short haul. I can’t see United moving to them entirely.
It’d be pretty easy to go to a defective plane and show the defective aspects however they are measured.
Not just Boeing I’ve been watching programs across multiple companies in med devices for the past 24 years and engineers aren’t being taught standards and techniques the way we did before … now it’s all just generate cad or gerber(circuit boards) get parts in and run a test if it passes it’s good to go. Minimal finite effects analysis as little failure modes and effects as possible and get it out the door - we’ll fix any problems later. Has led me to leave a few places on my own and even though quality is supposed to ensure
Compliance and limit potential liability were seen as a roadblock or overreacting the majority of the time.
