That culture was white and male. Under the current political paradigm, it has to be destroyed and replaced by diversity culture, which has completely different values.People that worked in aircraft maintenance used to have a very distinct high performance culture. Dependability and competency were the foundation upon which a technician built his career. Good techs thrived and bad techs were beat down by peer pressure until they moved on. Everyone in the culture knew that a bad tech would cost everyone time, money and possibly lives. When I started out as a jet tech in 1979, it was a high pressure/high performance enviroment.
I'm afraid the aircraft maintenance culture of forty years ago is long dead and gone. It has been wiped clean by fashonable DEI programs and MBA managers who outsource maintenance to the lowest bidder.
Complex Systems Will Not Survive The Competence Crisis.
