Yup, they're all still run by freaking bean counters, even if they were previously engineers. Despite all of the issues, yeah, I'm still in the industry, I really do love the puzzle that is aerospace and hardware.

Yeah, I fought the good fight, even yelled at an executive when I was there, but eventually I left after they got rid of the pension and took the advice I offered the college grads I trained and jumped ship.
