> It's funny that Americans on HN and reddit are trying to blame Boeing's technical incompetence on Indian suppliers and subcontractors. Why are Airbus planes not suffering similar problems and why is Airbus not blaming it on Indian suppliers and subcontractors? It could have something to do with American business culture as well. When American companies outsource, they seem monomanically focused on paying the absolute least amount of money per body, which tends to get you relatively incompetent people in any location. They will then engage in brazen denialism that doing something like that will reduce quality. Maybe European companies prioritize quality more, and are thus willing to pay for more of more skilled people when they offshore.
