uhh. what.
I don't claim to be an expert in aircraft manufacturing...but just as a layman, this "compromise" seems like it might actually be worse than just letting Boeing inspect everything itself?
doing this week-on/week-off shit, like they're divorced parents trying to make sure little Jimmy gets to soccer practice, seems like it creates huge opportunities for problems to fall through the cracks.
if you're one of the workers doing these safety-critical inspections, you shouldn't have to change your process based on whether it's an odd week or an even week. that's absurd.
I think that is clearly the deliberate goal
