“It will take time — we’re rebuilding a workforce that needs
the experience,” said Mark Sears,
Boeing’s vice president for fighters. “For F-15,
you can be a good mechanic, but it's mostly about the number of times
you do a job that makes you a good mechanic.”
Over the past year, Boeing has decreased the number of mechanics
working on the Super Hornet from 300 to 200 workers as production
of the aircraft slows down, Sears said.
That has forced the remaining employees to take on an additional
portion of the work-share.
TRANSLATION: We have cut so many corners, there is no meat left.
The good news we kept all the cheapest employees.
The bad news is, no one left knows how to build the plane.
