Spirit also contracts with Airbus. Did Boeing just get unlucky?

• p_l 3y ago
  Boeing squeezes Spirit to last cent and didn't care about QA. Airbus apparently takes way more "partnership" approach to contractors.

    Yes people try to get the best price from their suppliers. Should I remind you how Apple iPhones are made?

      If the quality drops because of that hard enough to endanger human lives...

        You act like it’s possible to be perfect and that accidents don’t happen in this world. why don’t you hold car makers to the same expectation just because they only go in two dimensions instead of three? Every company has bad workers that do bad jobs even mission critical jobs that endanger lives

          We actually do, the main reason there's less scrutiny is that a car can stop, an aircraft stopping is a completely different deal. And when it comes to airliners it involves way more possible damage and lives lost. The thing is, we have regulations on how one has to run aircraft manufacturing, maintenance, repair, and operations, BECAUSE of all of that. Complying with them is considered cost of doing business. If you can't, it means you're no longer fit for the market. And Boeing pretty clearly let the quality assurance required of them fail.

            Do you know when people talk about aliens coming to visit? We only discuss whether they exist or not but nobody seems to have a problem with the fact that beings that can traverse solar systems also crash.
