Description
The story of Boeing's downfall is a tale of profit over people. Peter Robison's Flying Blind is a meticulously researched exposé of how the pursuit of cost-cutting and profit led to the devastating loss of life in the 737 MAX crashes. The book explores how Boeing's new management degraded a highly-regarded plane with cost-focused mandates, skimped on testing, and outsourced software work to poorly paid graduates in India. These failures ultimately resulted in the deaths of 346 Boeing passengers. Framed around the 737 MAX crashes, Flying Blind sheds light on the larger, decades-long story of how a corrupt corporate culture paved the way for a cataclysm that cost lives. Vividly written and richly detailed, Flying Blind is a story that everyone needs to read. It's a cautionary tale about the dangers of prioritizing profit over people, and the importance of holding corporations accountable for their actions.
