I used to be proud that Boeing planes were made in Seattle. Now I’m actually scared to fly on them. The McDonnell Douglas merger was the worst thing that ever happened to American aerospace.
This whistleblower’s death is profoundly suspicious.
@moseley Short form: MD was a military contractor with management focused on profits not safety/engineering. They had a sketchy passenger plane safety history. Boeing and MD merged, and MD management took over Boeing. They began to squeeze out engineers in decision-making and focused on maximizing profits over everything else. It's one thing when enshittification happens to your computer services, it's another one when it happens to your airplanes.
