I have a buddy who is an engineer. He has built some of the largest structures on the planet.

Over the course of his career he has been sent around to world to work on various projects.

Our engineering standards are extremely high and very very strict. It takes an exceptionally talented individual to become an engineer, and an obsession with perfection to remain one. It also requires a top notch education system to produce a person with the necessary prerequisite skills to be able to be trained as an engineer in the first place.

That is simply not the case outside of the Western world. The very few standards they do have are seldom followed, and impossible to maintain. The foundation upon which to build is just not there.

When they bring in foreign engineers from the West, those engineers are usually faced with a project that cannot actually be built under the local conditions. They are asked to sign off on the final outcome, and are almost always bribed to look the other way. So, you get bridges and hydro damns collapsing, and apartment towers that topple over.

The idea that you could outsource the engineering of an airplane to third world engineering is simply insanity, and constitutes criminal negligence under our law. The Boeing execs should be imprisoned for life for this, because it is impossible that they did not know what would happen. Basically, they committed deliberate murder, and they did so for the payoff.

Why not, the diversity people are sabotaging everything else.

It is certainly possible.

They keep pushing diversity and inclusion in Big Tech. I say it from first-hand experience. It is an echo chamber from which you cannot escape.

They believe in globalism and that it is good for business to be “diverse.” They think the company workforce should reflect the diversity of customers they serve.

They push employees to waste time on useless meetings to push “allyship” training, where you go on to learn about privilege and oppression; they tell you about white privilege, heterosexual privilege, patriarchy oppression, etc.

Nobody dare go against their policy out of fear of losing their jobs and being blacklisted for the rest of their lives. They claim people are allowed to have their voice because they want to establish a “safe space” that has “psychological safety” but in reality you must adhere to their one and only mindset. If you dare have an actual diverse perspective, they will shut you down.

Microsoft is a prime example, hire trash get trash results.

I would say in this case they're more like open flames and gasoline.

The company official said the language used and sentiments expressed in these communications “are inconsistent with Boeing values, and the company is taking appropriate action in response.”

The comments caused the failure, huh? Maybe someone should have listened to these commentators before things went wrong.

What's really sad about all of this is that Boeing had a perfectly good platform to compete, but misread the future. If they had kept the 757 platform (single-isle/narrow body) they would have easily been able to develop it into the platform they were striving for with the 737-max.

Airbus introduced the A320 as a competitor to the 757.

Boeing once was an engineering company with an attached sales department. In 2001, when it moved its headquarters to Chicago, it became a dealership with an attached engineering wing. The philosophical difference is profound. It is time for the company to find [its way] back to its roots. source

Boeing ain't what it used to be.

People were sounding warnings over 16 years ago.
