The answer to this is "yes" -- and for details, I would recommend Peter Robison's excellent Flying Blind. (Selfishly, I would also recommend the conversation that we had with Robison on Oxide and Friends shortly after the book was published.[0]) For insight into the deep roots of the broken McDonnell Douglas culture, I would recommend an older book, John Godson's Rise and Fall of the DC-10.
Actual interview begins around the 5 minute mark. Edit: these twitter space voice cutouts are brutal. Probably pass on this one if you like tight interviews.
Yeah, sorry -- Twitter Spaces were absolutely awful, and this particular space was so bad with respect to audio that we made fun of it ourselves in our roundup of Oxide and Friends for On the Metal.[0] We moved to Discord over a year ago, and the audio issues went away. But I thought the content of this conversation was great nonetheless -- with my apologies for the audio snafus!
