Longtime Boeing engineers say the effort was complicated by a push to outsource work to lower-paid contractors. The Max software -- plagued by issues that could keep the planes grounded months longer after U.S. regulators this week revealed a new flaw -- was developed at a time Boeing was laying off experienced engineers and pressing suppliers to cut costs. Increasingly, the iconic American planemaker and its subcontractors have relied on temporary workers making as little as $9 an hour to develop and test software, often from countries lacking a deep background in aerospace -- notably India. In offices across from Seattle+IBk-s Boeing Field, recent college graduates employed by the Indian software developer HCL Technologies Ltd. occupied several rows of desks, said Mark Rabin, a former Boeing software engineer who worked in a flight-test group that supported the Max. The coders from HCL were typically designing to specifications set by Boeing. Still, +IBw-it was controversial because it was far less efficient than Boeing engineers just writing the code,+IB0 Rabin said. Frequently, he recalled, +IBw-it took many rounds going back and forth because the code was not done correctly.+IB0 Boeing+IBk-s cultivation of Indian companies appeared to pay other dividends. In recent years, it has won several orders for Indian military and commercial aircraft, such as a $22 billion one in January 2017 to supply SpiceJet Ltd. That order included 100 737-Max 8 jets and represented Boeing+IBk-s largest order ever from an Indian airline, a coup in a country dominated by Airbus. https://is.gd/XelJKH --- The new name for the 737 Max: El Cheapo Maybe because to survive these days, you have to cut costs. Trump is at least recognizing China for intellectual property theft, and all these free trade agreements seem to move any semiskilled job to a 3rd world country. What happens to medical innovation when the government takes any profit out of medical care? My last job before retirement was with a biomedical company who dropped $45 million on a fix for female stress urinary incontinence. Who would invest if there was no return in investment? Exactly. Nobody wants to talk about NAFTA and GATT when they gripe about outsourcing. Then there was the relaxing of the H1B visa rules that now allow companies to import talent to replace talent they already have on the job. The only advantage is salary. That is how you get a programmer with an advanced degree working for $10-15 an hour while your old $35 an hour programmer is asking people if they want paper or plastic. The old guy demanded benefits and raises. the H1B guy knows if they don't like him, it is back to Mumbai so he just says "I'm very happy to work here". Even 20 years ago, I figured it cost me $30,000 in salary. We had to compete against an H1b India engineer would would work for $60K. Less than a plumber. You should have gone into the tiki bar busines. I went in to Engineering. Never declared bankruptcy, and could retire nicely just before turning 60. Why did you not spend your education years learning useful stuff! Harry needs to work, it is all he has in his life. He says so here all the time. I like to work and use my cerebral skills. It's a lot more interesting to me than building tiki bars or kit-bashing electricity or being the neighborhood volunteer handyman, and the people I get to work with are a lot more interesting than a bunch of sun-baked retired Florida neighbor busybodies.

You're a funny guy. Have you visited or talked to your son lately?
