Of course, the problem is Boeing (again) not Alaska.

It’s a culture of cost-cutting at the expense of quality control. John Oliver did a segment on it a couple weeks ago and now a criminal inquiry has been opened into Boeing.

The problems at Boeing go back decades, as you probably know. Some say to the merger with McDonnell Douglas in 1997. One of the issues is the 737, which under the skin is getting on for sixty years old. Boeing makes them as cheap as possible to satisfy the low-cost airlines, and those airlines don’t want to pay for pilot type-approval training if they’re significantly changed. Result - Boeing sneaked in some new control software without telling anyone, and the software drove two planes into the ground, killing everyone on board. That was five years ago, and also led to revelations about quality issues, like discarded tools and debris in fuel tanks. On one occasion, a ladder and a string of lights was found in the tail of a plane. Some airlines now have their own quality inspectors in the Boeing factories, following their planes as they go through production. And still Boeing has rudders that haven’t been bolted together and missing bolts from door plugs. You can’t be sure that a brand new plane has been finished.

This is what can happen when accountants run an engineering company. It’s a great shame, because Boeing was once a great company doing great things.

It's not just Boeing it's everywhere. High margins and cost cutting for more profitability never lead to anything good.
