How many whistleblowers have to die before authorities start asking questions?

[–] FlyingSquid 42 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Oh you sweet summer child... they'll respond to this by offering stock buybacks.

Don’t forget about the board. The CEO isn’t the top of the dog pile.

I'm sure they will split the military division from the plane building transfer the debts to a Canadian division then declare bankruptcy in Canada (see Blockbuster) and act like nothing ever happened in the US

Is it with zip ties? Because I once ziptied some furniture together and so I'm pretty much an expert now.

Boeing gimme money!

[–] shadowSprite 18 points 7 months ago (1 children)

You think zip ties will hold together at those speeds? Not to mention cause drag due to the tiny bumps? Do you know anything about aerodynamical engineering?

You have to zip tie it together, then duct tape over top nice and smooth for extra holding strength and to reduce wind resistance. Boeing, hire me instead!

[–] Railing5132 6 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Not duct tape - speed tape. It's an actual product for slapping parts on planes!

[–] shadowSprite 3 points 7 months ago (1 children)

(Clearly I don't know anything about aerodynamically engineering)

[–] Railing5132 2 points 7 months ago

Nah - zip ties are the shit!
