If you are applying for the position of Senior Reliability Engineer, then I would expect that you already have significant experience in that field and should be able to answer those questions yourself.
I know that sounds snarky, but as an engineer with decades of experience, I think I should be...
I have seen drawings copied in their entirety, including the border to another vendor drawing. I would not take issue with that as the original drawing properties are included. I have experienced other people changing the drawing properties to suggest that they were the author when we both...

Possibly a powder/dust explosion but no details as yet.
Test flight 5 occurred this morning. Booster stage flight profile and capture was just about perfect. There was a small fire at the bottom of the booster that went out after a while. Starship flight looked to be very similar to ghe last one. There was some obvious heating damage so there's...
I don't see anything unusual about the process. The union and company officials write the contract and present it to the rank and file for approval. It's always done that way.

I expect to see-
1- Starliner depart the ISS and perform maneuvers without issue.
2- De-orbit burn and re-entry on nominal trajectory
3- Parachute deployment and surface landing to proceed normally.
4- Boeing to herald their accomplishment and blame NASA for faulty decision making
5- Starliner...
From ARS Technica- 'Although Boeing deserves much of the blame for Starliner's troubles, there are other considerations. NASA's Commercial Crew program, for example, allowed this launch to occur after similar thruster problems occurred on the spacecraft's previous uncrewed test flight in 2022...
We might eventually find out that it took a little bit of good luck for this crew to successfully make it to the space station.

The 777 is one of the most successful airliners ever built. It's design and manufacturing processes are pretty much locked down so it would take overt action from management to mess it up. Similarly for the 767 which will probably be out of production in the next few years. The 757 probably...
Whatever the design, it's hard to believe this issue didn't show up either during ground testing or 2 previous test flights. Since it's affected several thrusters on this flight it doesn't seem to be a rare occurrence.

It seems that NASA has delayed future missions to allow Boeing time to do whatever needs to be done to return the craft to earth, or it will be jettisonned to burn up. Probably the latter is the best case scenario.

I'd say the mission is a complete and utter failure if the top priority is to provide a safe round trip. I think Dragon HAS been boosting the ISS, but maybe only the cargo craft. Starliner probably won't be doing that before it's 'de-orbited'.

I'd say now that the Starliner is officially a failure. After years of delays, billions of dollars, and largely not successful test flights, it's hard to spin it any other way.
