I just don't understand how you can be wrong on every issue.
All of the employees were under tremendous pressure to ramp up production rates. It was THE objective for 2024 and the MAX line. You couldn't possibly try to pin this on the workers. This was a cultural problem from the start.
You are right. Leaving fod and tools in enclosed aircraft spaces is a cultural problem. No machinist I know would consider it acceptable. Yet the Air Force TWICE stopped accepting KC-46s from the plant three blocks away from these statues because it did happen. This isn't rocket science. A high school shop student would know better than that.
