re: Boeing 737 Max - Designed by Clowns

I'm really looking forward to the part where you lay out your argument that these planes crashed because of women and black people.

So how many blacks and women and gays and straights were working on the project?

Doing strong work in this thread. Carry on.

I never laid that out or made the claim, your insecurity it causing you to see a boogeyman in the closet. I simply stated that Boeing’s goal was to build a diversified workforce insofar as the were hiring anything other than white men.

---

To be fair, it appears as though your insecurities are showing through as well.

quote:

“We’re intentionally becoming more diverse and focusing on inclusion because we know it will make us a better company. That’s why we’ve set bold goals in these areas, and they’re making a difference.”

Damn shame it's not a positive difference though

There is no other reason for you to continue bringing up diversity, though. This thread is about planes crashing.

There you go again. Are you an idiot, or do you think we are? The makeup up their workforce has absolutely nothing to do with the planes crashing. It has everything to do with cost-cutting decisions as far as the overall concept of the plane.

Then stop bringing it up. This thread is about planes crashing.

This should be the autopilot on the MAX

The reason I'm in this thread at all is to at least try to explain to all these knuckleheads that Boeing's hiring procedures have absolutely dick to do with the problems with the Max. Execs insisted on larger engines. The correct engineering solution would be to design a new plane. Execs insisted on using the 737 to avoid all the costs of certifying a new plane and training pilots. The engineers were given a set of parameters that absolutely should not have been attempted. Still, the plane works fine as long as pilots are properly trained on what is an entirely different plane as far as flight characteristics and controls. Execs hid the fact that pilots needed to be retrained from the FAA.

But let's blame the diversity.

The articles you linked said diversity improves decision making an innovation and focused almost exclusively on leadership teams and positions. The first article you linked said more diverse companies are more profitable. So if Boeing’s déverse leadership team made decisions based on profitability, then it stands to reason that a diverse leadership team is the root cause of these crashes.

That might stand to reason if you're a racist piece of shite.

All leadership teams make decisions based on profitability. Some focus on short term profits, others on long term.

This particular leadership team put short term profits ahead of safety.

If it crosses your mind to think "hey wait a minute... there were some women and non-white people involved in these decisions! That must be the problem!" then you're a racist/sexist piece of shite.


BTW, according to this page Boeing's leadership is about 68% male and about 82% white-ish. But it must be all that fricking diversity causing planes to crash!
