these days a lot of jobs like that may not technically require that you be military/a vet, but are basically impossible to get without a hiring preference (vet, already a federal worker, etc) working in your favor

I don't think it would really work anywhere else because it sounds unhinged unless you've been living in that ecosystem for years they made up some thing about how boeing only hires non-white people with cerebral palsy now or something, it's just garden variety lunacy

Xaris posted:airliners are also fairly big money losers overall but makeup for it in like mileage programs and doodads. the way to be a successful commercial airline is to match your revenue to the rate of depreciation of your fleet; as your airplanes age you deduct the annual depreciation from your income so you keep a slim profit margin and very low tax liability the airplanes themselves may not make money, but when you factor in their amortized depreciation (there are rules and curves about how you're allowed to depreciate different kinds of capital assets and they are very favorable and long term for big ol airplanes) baby you got a stew goin

i feel like "install the several bolts holding in the door plug but leave them loose" doesn't save anyone time or money, so i expect this is more of an engineering process breakdown, where there wasn't good documentation of when/where/how the final plug work was to be completed. it's unlikely boeing mechanics were just deciding not to tighten some bolts, more like the engineers hosed up and didn't have anybody do the final work, and if there's no engineering documentation there's no qa check

ElehemEare posted:the scuttlebutt is that managers didn’t want to log a ticket in the official system of record because it would reflect poorly on their metrics, so they logged the work in a non-authoritative work tracker that indicated the door seals were replaced (which logically requires removal of the door plug) but didn’t trigger qa validation for the door replacement. interesting. it's almost always management loving up in situations like this

Infrastructure so critical we just accept that it's going to loving kill everyone one day because to fix it would cost too many people money always has been, it's just that now airplanes crash because execs are wringing every last penny out of the process. planes have been crashing for dumb reasons forever, it's just we had several decades of low hanging fruit like drunk pilots, nonexistent ATC, roofs blowing off, fuel tanks exploding, engines falling off, etc

every time i've been to costco everything is more or less the same unit price as the grocery store but you have to buy 3-4x as much also somehow every costco is at least a half hour drive from wherever you are, and they have the most hellish parking lots in the usa saving a few cents per ounce on a gallon of mayonnaise vs a pint of mayonnaise doesn't really draw me in i guess food court is good as hell though, that's for sure
