re: The best explanation of what’s going on at Boeing

Half of that reads like a guy from Seattle who doesn’t like Boeing moving to other places. “Trained Seattle workforce” lol. Like only the hippies in Seattle can build planes and they never hired anyone from anywhere else.

I realize this part will offend people because it sounds like he’s talking down to southerners but I think I can explain it better.

I think what he’s trying to say, is because Boeing stopped focusing on engineering they shipped a design with poor drawings, plans, and work instructions to a new work force in South Carolina. Doing so cost Boeing lot of tribal knowledge that the manufacturing groups in Seattle had accrued over time.

I see this everyday in industrial facilities. The bottom line always wins out and quality suffers. Then we go back to where we started.
