Isn't this exactly what technical debt is? The term originated in software engineering, but it seems to be exactly what Boeing has if we transfer the terminology into aerospace. > is a concept that reflects the implied cost of additional rework caused by choosing an easy (limited) solution now instead of using a better approach that would take longer 737 rated pilots are abundant, production lines are ready and paid for and orders come in as long as the product works. There is huge incentive to do just small fixes if you can't see technical debt in the books. When it shows up in the bottom line company is already paying interest.
