Also, the headline "Boeing engineer breaks silence on MAX 737" is a little bit misleading -- he left Boeing in 2000, long before development on the 737 MAX star

Also, the headline "Boeing engineer breaks silence on MAX 737" is a little bit misleading -- he left Boeing in 2000, long before development on the 737 MAX started and has been working for the union since then.
- hugi 7y agoThat means this problem has been going on for over 20 years, and probably longer. Which is kind of scary.
- orwin 7y agoThe problem has been going since Douglas bought Boeing with Boeing money. Douglas shifted in the 80s to a state monopoly culture, where politics is more important than engineering and safety (see DC-10), a bit like lockeed martin. Boeing was still a company "a la" Dyson, led by engineers before the acquisition (in 97). I think the first Boeing non-engineer CEO was hired in 2004.
