Wow, that’s… alarming. I didn’t know their engineering culture had degraded that much. I’ve got an uncle who’s a Mech E who worked there for years and loved it, but he left well over a decade ago to work in renewables.
Its a problem across the entire aerospace industry, I saw the same thing at P&W too.
I was not at all surprised that the chickens came to roost in the 737 Max crashes. I suspect a lot of the issues come from the FAA allowing companies to cut corners for cost savings.
And even more issues came to a head when the FAA delegated inspections and audits to the companies they were supposed to be inspecting and auditing in the first place. I mean… what the fuck. That’s OBVIOUSLY completely idiotic.
