It’s not just about a “broken safety culture”. This is a gross oversimplification that is meant to give the impression that fixing the safety problem will make everything better again. The broken safety culture is just one symptom of the Boeing debacle. The real disease that has infected every single division of Boeing, including the safety department, is:
DEI. It metastasizes and virtually guarantees that there is absolutely no subject matter expertise at any level of management or supervision. At all management levels, blunders and incompetence are rewarded by shuffling the lackey off to another position where they can lay low until the dust settles from their latest debacle. Many high-paying, one-off positions are created specifically to absorb these non-performers.
Apprenticeship programs are not immune to DEI. The steady decline of expertise finds its way to the assembly line as DEI guarantees a diminishing return of job skills and tool skills. Blunders on the assembly lines are dealt with by 1) more training and 2) increased oversight by the safety department and inspection department, all of which have been rendered useless by DEI. The DEI kracken has extended its tentacles into every part of this company and is pulling it under.
I never worked at or for Boeing. I describe the process as I observed it infect a large ship repair yard in the same area. Arrogant incompetence behaves in predictably similar fashion.
Wow! The DEI sabotage is layered over sloppy materials management systems -- there seems to be more and more fraud in materials procurement certifications...
It really doesn’t matter about the merger. DEI infects and destroys all companies of sufficient size. It (dei, affirmative action etc) has been federally mandated for decades. It’s implemented and enforced by the fed’s Equal Employment Opportunity Commission. An affected employee who files an EEOC complaint strikes mortal fear in management and they will create any job position for the complainant if they fear being accused of discrimination.
All good humor is grounded in truth (satire), which is why many comedians (inlcuding Bill Maher) claim wokeness has ruined comedy because one can't joke about anything anymore. Wokesters can't take satire, or fun, any better than truth -- they need something to hate and control, which is hard to do when humanized by humor.
The Importance of Fellowship
“And they continued steadfastly in the apostles’ doctrine and fellowship, and in breaking of bread, and in prayers.”
— Acts 2:42🙏 UNITE WITH GOD FOR ONE NATION UNDER GOD

Trust is hard to rebuild once broken. Some say it's impossible.
I worked for years in the titanium industry. Such fraud is hard to avoid when the profits are so attractive....
No more flights for you then? :)

That video is hilarious and exposes the real problem.
I sent the link to a Methodist friend whose church is in the midst of that national battle.... :)

Sadly, our moral devolution is apparent. A return to barbarism, by choice....
