Have Boeing considered simply not fucking up the building of their main product?

[–] weew 46 points 1 year ago (2 children)

But then the executives will make less money

[–] [email protected] 30 points 1 year ago

Oh shit, yeah, that’s true. Didn’t think of that ‘cause I’m just a regular guy without a business degree.

More likely the issue is they would need to find/hire competent executives, not friends/family/insider nepo-folk. This will be a challenge for a board comprised of friends/family/insider nepo-folk.

Isn't their main product weapons?

[–] [email protected] 19 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I suppose a weapon is something that falls from the sky causing death. So yeah.

Defense, Space and Cybersecurity account for 39% of Boeing's revenue.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Interesting. I wonder what they do in the cybersecurity area.

Drill holes in the wrong places?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Not having the documents detailing how they knew for years about all of this and did nothing leaked sound a pretty good reason to me.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Well, considering they don't build their product (it's contacted out), probably not.

[–] [email protected] 53 points 1 year ago (1 children)

hey, good thing they're finding issues before they become more problems

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 year ago

Yeah they are finally doing their due dillies. Totally fine to find issues during production. That's what QC is for.

Wait wasn’t it homer who was adding speed hole not Krusty? Or am I Mandela effecting.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 year ago (1 children)

IIRC its homer dressed as Krusty after clown college, and the mob are shooting at him because they think he's Krusty

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Oh that’s right. Thank you.

[–] [email protected] 20 points 1 year ago

Well, that’s a bot summery if I’ve ever seen one.
