This is bullshit. At least, for anything important.

So this is defintely bullshit.

I don't even know what the implication they're trying to make is. Are they saying that the airplanes crashed because some incompetent Indians wrote the software?

The implication is that Boeing cares so little about the quality of the product that they are willing to pay $9 an hour for it. Anyway, regardless of the merits of the offshore team, Boeing is still responsible for any flaws in their work product. You can't just point fingers at your subcontractors when you're the one who hired them and then signed off on their work.
