mranikiBoeing CEO Dave Calhoun to step down in management shakeup amid safety crisis
PrincessLeiasCatHighly recommend the book ‘Flying Blind’ by Peter Robison on Boeing and the decline of its safety culture after the merger with McDonnell Douglas. That’s when the “business” types who ran the former company into the ground took over both and we see the same results here.
Before the merger, the engineers were in charge and safety was taken seriously. Now, it’s more about stock, etc.
I feel like I hear this story repeated over and over and over and over and over… everywhere.
At what point will we stop letting the business types degrade our human civilization for their egoistic short-term gains?
When capitalism is no longer propped up by the government, masquerading as democracy, so that they, too, can greedily profiteer on the short term gains of a quality product that has been ran into the ground for the sake of a bigger personal estate.
