Hopefully someone is successful in suing for discovery. It might not have been 'mind boggling' it might have been deliberate action by management to cut costs, reduce MTBF (because 2 sensors fails more often), or the fact that 'Boeing' didn't design the system so much as an amalgamation of cut-rate 3rd party contractors with a 'yes-person' 'project manager' at the helm vs an actual engineer.
- trhway 7y ago>deliberate action by management to ... MTBF (because 2 sensors fails more often) if that happens to be real case, it may become the textbook case of perverted metrics/cobra effect.
- matt-attack 7y agoIt’s actually an interesting concept. As a naive buyer I might think that lower MTBF is better and represents and improvement in product specs. However in this case it clearly comes at a cost of reduced reliability, since there is no backup. However “reliability” seems the same as “MTBF” to my naive brain, so I’m struggling to resolve this apparent paradox.
