Have Boeing considered simply not fucking up the building of their main product?

But then the executives will make less money
DJDarren@thelemmy.club 4 months ago
Oh shit, yeah, that’s true. Didn’t think of that ‘cause I’m just a regular guy without a business degree.

More likely the issue is they would need to find/hire competent executives, not friends/family/insider nepo-folk. This will be a challenge for a board comprised of friends/family/insider nepo-folk.

Instead of doing most shit in-house, they contracted out shit tons of parts to the lowest bidder and they jenga all the pieces together. Kind of like when you buy an hp laptop, even though HP doesn’t make a single piece of their laptop (or even assemble the things). They just arrange for all the pieces they want from all the component manufacturers and buy the parts and have them shipped to the assembly plant that’s to be used.

No that’s not true. What happened is they found things that were not profitable to do in-house and… sold those parts of their manufacturing process to third party investors.
… who then needed to figure out how to make it profitable. And the only way to do that is by cutting costs.

Isn’t their main product weapons?

I suppose a weapon is something that falls from the sky causing death. So yeah.

Defense, Space and Cybersecurity account for 39% of Boeing’s revenue.

Well, considering they don’t build their product (it’s contacted out), probably not.
