The risky business of airplanes
Manage episode 423120406 series 3555189
In the months following Boeing’s now-infamous door panel blowout, speculation has swirled that the company’s troubles can be traced back to its decision to outsource so much of its manufacturing.
It’s easy to accuse Boeing of putting profits above all else, but economy reporter Monica Nickelsburg wanted to understand what went into that decision and why the economics of building airplanes are so weird.
She didn’t have to go very far to find answers.
Listen to Booming's special Father's Day episode.
