I don’t fully agree with this take. Large institutions such as Boeing encourage siloing such that most of the engineers who are directly involved in the MCAS would never know let alone be able to call out what’s wrong with it.

Boeing can make good planes, but they’ve been wholly taken over by private equity firms who are trying to take their own practices to engineering trade studies. Private equity firms have no business owning critical manufacturing in the US.

I'm this person.

Without going into too much detail the CFR governing manufacturing is very general and vague and it's up to organizations to decide what is compliant. This leads to subjective opinions ruling the day in endless fights about semantics and the definition of specific words.

After fighting for 12-24 months with dozens of meetings and hundreds of emails on several industry standard changes with people who just refuse to listen I recently broke down and started dog walking them in meetings with elaborate pre-prepared takedowns that have citations and references. Enough evidence no person would be able to disagree.

The executives are now mad that I am violating decorum and are threatening to fire me. They don't care why fights are happening they just want them to stop and I'm just the person starting fights. C-Suite doesn't seem capable of looking at the context of the situation and are jumping into the fray against me making me literally one person against the world trying to do the right thing with all of the evidence on my side.

I think I'm going to quit and go dig holes because It's a literal loving nightmare. I work in an episode of the twilight zone and I honestly imagine this is what hell is like.

Why do those loving idiots not care that their fecklessness is probably going to get people maimed or killed?

If I have nuts in a recipe, I treat it like the loving balls of chemicals inside the bombs in The Rock.

Disagree - This is a capitalist country. The government does not make baby formula, nor should it. Companies make formula. Same for planes and missiles. And companies go to whoever can force another company to take on incredible unsustainable debt and enrich already rich 90 year old ghouls

not really related but why is the terrain so green? I looked it up and the flight was taking off from Oregon - isn't that way up north and it's the first week of January, shouldn't it be cold?
