Good read. Thanks for the link.
Years ago there was a "Truism" amongst airline pilots - If you want the perfect airliner, let Lockheed design it, let Boeing build it and let McD market it. It would appear that since the merger the marketing has taken precedence! Too bad!! I always felt the safest in a Boeing built aircraft. S. Ross (Ret. TWA Capt.)
As I have said many times since the 2 fatal Max crashes, I will not set foot on another 737! History has shown that they can be unreliable, but the main reason for me, is that there was no accountability at all, of the Boeing board. 346 people were killed in those crashes, and Muilenburg is fantastically rewarded with a $62 million pay off! That's over $179,000 for each death he was rewarded for having a hand in killing!!!! That's why AMERICA has become a Huge Sickening Joke as far as Corporate Greed and Management style goes. A Soldier or Policeman may cause an unfortunate death, and they are persecuted and pilloried through every court in the land. People of America, WAKE UP!!!!
I’m told the same by Boeing Alumni.
Good read about this topic
No body wakes up in the morning saying I want my work product to fail.
In my opinion what we have here in part here is a systemic failure of a thousand cuts leading up to a major incident with each minor event brushed off as small not to be worried about.
Ask any person responsible for Safety in a company about accidents that get brushed off with asking why it happened - like a pinched finger, that leads to a loss of function, that leads to a lost digit, leads to a broken hand, leads on and on up to fatal even. Each event if analyzed tells one something of value warranting correction.
The owner/operator of the equipment needs to be part of the process from concept to final use.
The terms "attention to detail" and "aggressive suspicion" need to be employed throughout design, build, maintain and operate.
