This is a pretty arrogant reply. Whatever “field” you refer to, the problems at Boeing cut across disciplines and appear to go to systemic management problems.

This is a pretty arrogant reply. Whatever “field” you refer to, the problems at Boeing cut across disciplines and appear to go to systemic management problems. It’s not just issues engineering new systems.
There have been well documented issues also with assembly and inspection. Boeing has a track record of recent quality problems at assembly time and even clashed with FAA on how to detect defects

- yread 3y agoYes, software engineers should take over airplane maintenance because their track record at safety is just sooooo much better, right? Airline industry has processes that work well and made flying ridiculously safe - there hasn't been a major plane crash in the whole of 2023! - maybe they know more about maintenance, accidents, investigations and corrective actions than a bunch of HN users?
- junofan 3y agoMembers of the public should be encouraged to ask how this happened because they’re the ones who trust their lives to these planes. The airline industries in places where the public couldn’t ask questions did not make flying ridiculously safe.
- _heimdall 3y agoPeople can make a much better motivator by simply not flying. The general public really isn't particularly well suited for asking the right questions to get to the bottom of this, but they are well suited for not being customers if trust in the industry is lost.
