Who could’ve guessed an aircraft with a primary goal of dodging current safety regulation would be unsafe?
Boeing sure isn't what it used to be.
Not since the MBAs took over from engineering.
That happens at every technical business. It gets founded by passionate engineers. Then as they retire or leave they get replaced by business people that only care that number go up.
That wasn't a big issue back when businesses could fail, but a giant like Boeing going under today is nearly unthinkable. If we'd let these giants die they could be replaced by companies that actually care about their products. This is a symptom of late stage capitalism and nothing less.
That's not really what happened in this case, though.
Turns out that even jets are subject to enshittification
It is the same Boeing Max that was approved during trump's run FAA? There was that strange thing that a year before it crashed, out of nowhere he was saying that there were no crashes during his presidency, as if that wasn't normal.
I think that was the Super Max 8?
