I don’t want to fly anymore... Thanks alot Boeing.
I observed this organizational disfunction when I was a university professor. The first sign was decisions by committee rather than holding an individual responsible. I got tired of all the wasted time in committee meetings.
Since all faculty were equal, the liberal arts professors got the same pay as the science professors that were in high demand. The national average starting or entry level pay for computer science professors was far higher than a full tenured professor could get at our university, thanks to equality in the union contract.
Thus, the flat pay scale meant that the most they would pay computer science professors that were in high demand was the same as the liberal arts. They could only hire the bottom of the barrel professors that were often rejected for tenure and dismissed from other universities.
Entire departments would only hire people from their own special interest group. The philosophy department became composed of all lesbians. The psych department became composed of all dykes.
As these special interest groups rose to management positions, the university became chaos as academic performance was no longer a criteria for student admission. Race, country of origen, and the special interest group of the day became priority.
I found many students in my classes that could not read, or write simple sentences. And, English was there first and only language.
The students found that by claiming test anxiety, they would get double the time to take an exam while normal students would only get the regular class period. The pressure to pass these non functioning students became great.
Then, they forced the business department to get accreditation which meant that all the professors with doctorates in education and were excellent teachers, hadd to be replaced with PhD in business as the education degrees did not count for accreditation. This forced the university to hire bottom of the barrel PhDs that were in very high demand.
The university became woke and I left. I loved teaching, but the organization became disfunctional.
This is deliberate destruction of the reliability of our
aircraft. I’d term this treason, because this will bleed
out into our military aircraft at some point.
This guy should be locked up, and the key tossed down a big
deep dark hole.
None of the execs are engineers nor do they work where the planes are made.
“It’s an Empty Executive Suite”
An insider explains what has gone disastrously wrong with Boeing.
https://www.city-journal.org/article/insider-explains-what-has-gone-wrong-with-boeing
Articles like this help confirm what I’ve been hearing that if a worker is there to build safe and reliable planes, they’re in the wrong place.
If I ever DO fly again - and I used to fly at least twice a week, every week = 30 years ago (a couple of Big 6 engagements spanning a little over a year plus training and other assignments) I WILL avoid ANY 737 MAX aircraft.
So.....Southwest is gonna be a no-go.....
Very likely close to retirement and pension and biding their time just listening to and doing what inept management says to do.

So it's possible 'discarding thought' is discarding CRT?
The Airbus executives and engineers don’t behave like this.
If the short term financial mentality is now inherent in the US system, and can’t be overcome even for a safety driven industry, then Boeing Commercial is not going to survive.
Boeing will survive as a defence contractor. Bullshit and failure doesn’t matter for that industry.
“I offered to take some of them with me on some of my week long all nighters but never got any takers.”
Huh? a week-long all-nighter?
I did some 120 hr. weeks in Iraq. They were mind-numbing. Gave me gray hair and health problems. Vowed never again and have turned down positions just on hours and travel requirements.
The same thing is happening to healthcare. People (almost always non-physicians) who have no clue what good medicine is are making the decisions. It's sad, and very dangerous.
They are. The article is an area where conservatives and leftists have some common ground.
Did you read it Booboo?
Once again, why are we tolerating this BS?
Bfl
It’s inherent in almost every free world nation on earth but Japan or at least that was the mantra taught in my education.
Airbus HQ are in France. I have no way of knowing how they act and suspect that you don’t as well.
The national efficiency is relative. I’m not going to bore you with anecdotal stories from around the globe.
These stories being posted are being posted in a vacuum.
Using Boeing as a cue, we’re in the grass is always greener anti American nonsense yet again while the avg liberal socialist is collecting five pensions at 55yo almost everywhere else on earth but Japan, Germany and South Korea.
Tell the French or most of northern and western Europe to come up with medical or technical innovation that effects my life in the slightest and perhaps I’ll come along with the five pensions at 55yo and endless no show political patronage jobs that typically are vast in companies just like Airbus.
This article did not read as progressive. Maybe, from a sense of self-preservation, this person does not want to climb aboard an unsafe passenger plane.
Boeing planes are falling apart, and a whistle blower was murdered.
IOW it can’t be a metaphor for much of the planet as much of the planet has miles to reach American efficiency.
Hate may not be anyone’s game but Boeing’s failure to properly design the Max sure brings out a ton of hate America nonsense.
Since libsomething makes it a point 5-10 times a week to chronicle Boeing’s failure to properly design a plane-
voila anti American hate 5-10 times a week like religion.
>Boeing will survive as a defence contractor. Bullshit and failure doesn’t matter for that industry.
Until a serious shooting war.
