NASA says New Orleans workforce a reason for issues with Boeing's Artemis rocket program

as much as we shite on new orleans, this is a boeing problem

But the report said the problems at Michoud are largely due to a “lack of a sufficient number of trained and experienced aerospace workers at Boeing,” which it said was “in part due to Michoud’s geographical location in New Orleans and lower employee compensation relative to other aerospace competitors.”

NOLA.com
Insurance and the forced private school doesn’t make it as “cheap” as some think it is to live here either

So DEI?

Good food, good people.

The only way NASA is ever going to do anything meaningful again is if Elon buys them. In fact, they should just give him the name and the entire budget for literally everything they have in the works.

I was about to say…

This is an executive level 3rd grade mistake.
Put ads out for qualified people out of town. Pay them good money/per diem/housing (the whole 9 yards). This isnt fricking hard

the "lack of a sufficient number of trained and experienced aerospace workers" at Boeing's Michoud Assembly Facility.

You're fricking NASA, you can recruit literally world wide.

These issues are partly blamed for the Michoud-based project being currently projected $700 million over budget and delays of ups to 7 years, some of which are due to Exploration Upper Stage (EUS) funds to the core state during Artemis I production, changing Artemis mission assignments and maintaining an extended workforce seven years more than planned, manufacturing issues and supply chain challenges.

Oh, so it is really 98% typical NASA/FedGov shite. Carry on.

They have to want to live in New Orleans which many smart people do not.

So here is a thought, I’m sure Boeing doesn’t want to do this but if they made the money right, they could get employees.

They are just gonna have to understand the risk/reward side of this and not IV the koolaid so much.

They are gonna have to accept Nola is a shite show and dangerous so quality workers are gonna have to come from outside Nola. It ain’t white folks committing violent crimes in Nola either. I know that makes people uncomfortable but this is the time it has to be faced.

So, up some pay and white folks will show up to work with quality resumes.

I know it’s painful to pull out the woke/liberal koolaid I.V.’s but you can either scrap the project, higher more shitey workers, or go the smart route and attract quality workers and have a great program.
