Boeing has been proudly outsourcing critical avionics software to contractors inexperienced with aviation and earning $9/hour [1].

But sure, they must have done that because of their race and gender, not because of the massive potential increase in profits.

I didn't expect this ignorance on HN given the industry most of us work in.

Safety and quality are a product of systems, processes, and policies and not individual skills. Mistakes will always be made even by including cishet natively english speaking upper-middle class white men. No good manager should expect individuals to be able to account for issues all on their own.

In Boeing's case, the problems are very obviously management compromising quality by encouraging corner-cutting for reducing costs to increase profits. It worked for a while because Boeing had the redundancies in processes to catch errors before they had an impact, but eventually they compromises were too much. Tell me, what does this has to do with race and gender?

In particular, the critical bad decisions were made long before DEI was a thing.

The people in these planes probably didn't feel perfectly safe.

Sorry I'm unaware of what you're saying? Are you saying that pilots are being selected without meeting training requirements and licensing? That doesn't sound right and I must be missing your point.

I think, reading between the lines, you are replying to a "blame wokeness for everything bad that happens" post. Being generous, it's about one order of magnitude more rational than blaming gays for earthquakes. But it's the same basic idea.
