They should have gotten Airbus to do it.
I think Airbus is too busy swimming in money.
I heard from my neighbors - who work there - that the biggest struggle internally now is to keep their quality standards up despite everyone and their mother ordering dozens of planes as they're cancelling as many Boeing orders as they can. So it takes constant and organized pushbacks against management to not commit the same normalization of deviance that is bringing Boeing down. You'd think it'd be easy! Because that's exacty why their main competitor is flailing. Nope, management wants their bonuses. ๐
At least from what they can tell me, it's actually working though and upper management had to shut it and accept the current speed of work and enjoy the decades of backlog and paid-already contracts instead. Only 4 yachts per person or something...
That's heartening! Thank you for that!
