Let's do a thought experiment and see what functions aren't needed to keep the light on for 30 days:
1) HR
2) Legal
3) Sales
4) Marketing
5) Payroll
6) Admin staff
7) Most of Engineering, other than the bare minimum of L1/L2/3 support.
As someone paraphrased, a car without breaks and steering wheel works just fine until you hit the first bend.
- jiggawatts 4y agoThis is more like a car with just the bare essentials: an engine, steering wheel, brakes, and the like. No: radio, air-conditioning, seat padding, wipers, lights, radar, etc... Oh, and no maintenance. It'll drive... for now. But that's it.
- sydd 4y agoMore like a racecar without maintenance. Heres an example checklist what they need: https://www.teamstradale.com/frequency-of-maintenance-keeping-your-racecar-in-tip-top-shape/ https://www.teamstradale.com/frequency-of-maintenance-keepin...
- coldtea 4y ago>As someone paraphrased, a car without breaks and steering wheel works just fine until you hit the first bend. On the other hand, a car without a second and third steering wheel, 20 windscreen wipers, and an oven in the back, keeps running just fine, even after the first bend...
- yywwbbn 4y agoTrue, you might be also forced to sell the windshield, doors and the seats to pay the $4 million in interest each day you didn’t have to before
- nashashmi 4y agoUnless the first steering wheel is prone to breaking. Redundancy is the difference between a million dollar company and billion dollar company. Of course getting workers to come on on weekends and midnight hours accomplishes the same thing.
- scott_w 4y agoThat might be fine but do you want to fly in a plane that only has one engine? What about if it has no fallback if the main sensors freeze?
- coldtea 4y ago>That might be fine but do you want to fly in a plane that only has one engine? I've done that lots of times. As do almost all people flying Cessnas, Moonys, Pipers and the like...
- rpeden 4y agoSure, but the question isn't whether you can, it's whether you want to. General aviation's accident and fatality rates are atrocious.

- scott_w 4y agoHave you considered consulting for Boeing and Airbus and telling them that their fallbacks are bloating their planes?
- concordDance 4y agoBoeing et al are forced to implement all those safety systems due to regulations.
- scott_w 4y agoThen go consult for the FAA and tell them those safety systems are just bloat for aeroplanes.

- bena 4y agoBut the trick here is to discover which analogy we're dealing with. We don't know. It could be a situation with one steering wheel and 40 wipers. And as long as it's the wipers that fail, we're fine.
