Originally posted by ATLcrew View PostThe people responsible have been sacked. And those responsible for sacking them have also been sacked. (I doubt you'll get the reference).
346 people died as a result.

Originally posted by Evan View PostThe reference is meaningless because the people responsible were never sacked. They were carried off in their golden parachutes. The stock portion of their compensation packages was enriched by their short-term management strategy. That was the intention.
346 people died as a result.

Originally posted by BoeingBobby View PostThat's not the point here. You seem to infer that the Boeing engineers did this maliciously, just to save money. You are always spouting off about human error. Does that only apply to pilot's?
As a younger person, I crashed occasionally...yeah, I'm ultimately to blame, but I sure as hell did not INTEND to crash just for the thrills.

Originally posted by BoeingBobby View PostOkay, if you say so. You are the expert after all. ATP rated pilot with a couple thousand hours and 3 or 4 type ratings after all. SMFH!
I value your expertise when it comes to hands-on issues and knowing how thing really go down in practice, but on issues that require research to understand, you're only as good as your research skills.
I'm talking here about management strategy, corporate priorities and the self-enriching executive strategy of putting immediate shareholder value over long-term (but inevitable) concerns.
What's the required type rating for that?

ok, i'll chime in....
sorry BB, i ain't buying that this was simply shit happens. boeing engineers are far too good (for the most part) for them to be at fault (except for not blowing every fucking whistle in the universe BEFORE 300+ people died).
on the other hand, boeing execs are just whores for wall street. safety is not their primary nor secondary concern. only stock price and making or exceeding projected profits. it is they who are truly to blame.
the blame i lay at the feet of the engineers is their silence. and insofar as they likely could have prevented these two tragedies, are equally to blame.
