A friend of mine, who is an airline #pilot, asked me why I took a rather harsh stance against #Boeing in their recent "troubles". The short answer is that I loathe their profit-driven #management philosophy.
The long answer is this. #Engineering inevitably affects lives, and engineering disasters kill not by ones and twos but by the thousands. A company who, for almost a century, have been manufacturing aircraft must hold itself to a higher standard than a fly-by-night web development sweatshop, when it comes to processes, especially those that affect safety. But Boeing, for the past 30 or so years, have raised #profits above #safety. This, I detest, as an engineer.
