Of course every customer ever is always going to ask for products on a faster timeline at a cheaper price. That doesn't absolve the manufacturer of its responsibility to build a safe product.
- ethbro 7y agoMy point is that Boeing and American share fault in this. And I don't see anyone blaming American nearly to the extent they are Boeing. And I'd be inclined to agree it's 100% manufacturer fault... except this was a pretty high pressure ask. IMHO, for me, it crosses over the line into sharing some of the blame.
