Every fucking engineer and inspector that got burned by this dangerous criminal 90 day whistleblower process had better be writing a will and talking to a lawyer right now. If it can't be fixed now I don't know how it will ever. It had always struck me as funny that the FAA has Boeing inspect and okay their own planes, that is the first thing that needs to change.

It's the first and primary duty of being an aviation engineer, the duty to the public (or in simple terms, to not have planes fall out of the sky). The systemic, criminal, and wilful negligence in management that has let things get this bad has to be rectified, before more people get hurt. Management needs major reprisals for firing and punishing engineers who did their job correctly.

I'm not a huge fan of Cory Doctorow's novels, but he definitely has a way with words.

I'm a huge fan of both his novels and his blogging.

I tried getting into a couple of his novels and they just didn't click with me. Admittedly, this was decades ago, so I may feel differently now.
