>>"...recalled one manager saying at an all-hands meeting that Boeing didn’t need senior engineers because its products were mature. " Whatever manager that was, should never be working in an aerospace context, where one design failure or fault can literally kill hundreds of people in minutes (and in this case, did exactly that). Clearly, Boeing has become infested with people who literally do not understand the fundamental life-and-death consequences with which they are dealing, and who treat everything as fungible commodities. The entire story is essentially about how the outsourcing and commoditizing just expanded and expanded until now, when there were fatal consequences for the passengers, and perhaps even for the company (TBD). Unless this changes, this is no longer a company who can be trusted with such life-and-death engineering decisions.
