The plane is a STEM engineer fixable issue. The corporate mess that pushed this across flying clearance is not.
I’ll aim to fly airbus until Boeing understands that difference and fixes the root cause.
Regulations which require engineers or their union representatives to sit on the corporate board of directors.
(Such as in the deplorable communist countries Germany, Austria, Sweden, Norway, Ireland, France and Denmark.)
There's even precedence in the US for this approach: in the legal profession, only lawyers are permitted to own or to manage a law firm.
Because it mentioned unions is my guess.
This is the guaranteed outcome given this way of organizing commerce. Just as if you organized everyone into medieval guilds, we would replicate the behavior of medieval guilds.
I dunno man, the culture came from McDonnell-Douglass which was actually purchased by engineer-centric-at-the-time Boeing. How this culture spread in Boeing ought to be some kind of HBS case study, except they wouldn't notice that it should be taken as a cautionary tale.
The company that today uses the name Boeing looks, acts, and quacks a lot more like 1970s-1995 MD did, than 1970s-1995 Boeing did.
I worked with Jinnah before and he is great at shielding the engineers from executive. If hiring great execs is not movement of corporate mindset I don't know what is.
Trust takes a long time to build, and minutes to loose. Boeing knows that, that is how a pilot's license is issued and revoked as well. They gambled their Trust and lost, so now they are in a well-deserved decades-long Trust deficit.
