@sonhouse saidHow any upper management at Boeing can keep their jobs is beyond me.

Nobody injured, it was lost just before takeoff so bags and passengers taken off to a replacement plane.
Things are not looking great for Boeing.
Criminal destruction of a once-great company.

@sh76 saidBoeing's problems started 23 years ago when management moved from Seattle to Chicago, and the company stopped being run by Engineers and increasingly decisions were made by sales and accounting.
Airline deregulation happened almost 50 years ago.
It also didn't help that it kept swallowing up other manufacturers and its core business of mass transit now competes with military projects.
@kmax87 saidSomething has to explain the recent 💩show that is its manufacturing and maintenance record. They must have cut back on inspections and quality control to some degree. You don’t forget how to build things,but you can get sloppy if no one is looking over your shoulder

@sh76 saidMy bad it’s the US there probably is no regulatory body with enough teeth to stop Boeing from focusing on safety rather than profit. When an aircraft manufacturer kicks all the engineers off its management board and appoints the guy who used to run McDonalds as its CEO bad 💩 happens
What deregulation has there been in airplane manufacturing?
