Aircraft maker Boeing is expected to commit to sweeping changes on Thursday in a new plan meant to reassure the public, airline customers and regulators that the troubled company’s planes are safe to fly.
Put. Engineers. Back. In. Charge.
All of the C-suite, except maybe the CFO, should be aerospace engineers. That’s how it was back when Boeing made great planes; how to fix the company isn’t rocket science. Just get rid off all the MBAs.
But shareholder value!

Execs should be drawn and quartered
The changes include clearer instructions for the assembly line, training improvements and more tools. The company says it has also ordered each station be completed before a plane moves on the assembly line and directed Spirit to not ship defective fuselages to Boeing’s Renton plant.
Oh… for fucks sake. You can’t tell the people at the bottom to work better-er when they’ve been trying to work better-er for a decade and their efforts get shit on .
Interview every team lead and department head that has ever raised a quality/safety/non-conformance. Then interview/audit every executive those issues were reported TO. And if they can’t provide a very very very good reason (i.e. not “$money$”) for why those issues weren’t actioned then they get fired. Every fucking one. Then promote a bunch of engineers.
Boeing used to be a great company when the engineers ran it. Now its shit because the MBAs in expensive suits run it.
Useless admin managers blaming the engineers lol
directed Spirit to not ship defective fuselages to Boeing’s Renton plant
Well that’s one way to make your numbers look better: just hide the defects at another plant!
This is an excellent summary of the problem
“could suggest”
A weak qualification on top of a weak qualification. Awesome.
This helps nothing.
That won’t convince me that the existing planes are safe.
