Folks - I don’t disagree with your comments as long as their based on verified factual information. I think we can all agree that much of what we read is based on sloppy reporting. My comment was merely based on my hesitancy believe a news story.. How well verified is the story? I don’t think the contractor being based in India suggests inferior intelligence. A $9/hr contract employee in India is similar to $60/hr employee in USA. I do agree that it is ultimately Boeing’s responsibility to validate the contractor work. Every company has people of varying capability and intelligence. Because none of us no the individuals that actually worked on the project , we can only comment on our own assumptions based on a reporters possible research. I’m not ready to throw all contractors under the bus because they don’t live in the USA possess a Boeing badge.
