It's a firm fixed price contract (other than a few weird bonuses...), so it's not constantly leaching money like cost plus programs. NASA still has to pay staff to deal with the dumpster fire, but that seems worth it to me to maybe get another crew vehicle.
Maybe this is sunk-cost fallacy thinking, but we've paid Boeing so much money to build this thing. They'd better finish it. Or take a monumental reputation hit and stop winning billions of dollars in space contracts.
suck-cost?
Lol, sunk-cost. Freudian slip?
I think Boeing needs to get their shit together and focus on killing more whistleblowers, this just looks bad for them!
Best Boeing can do is 3 more dead whistleblowers.
Boeing once again putting up a fat L.
To be fair, NASA probably uses the word "unsure" in a very specific way
Boeing's planes are rarely suitable for human flight.
The thing is there is a ton of talent there... criminally strangled by its upper management... sometimes literally?
I think if they combined the job of Chief Financial Officer and Test Pilot things might improve quite fast.
