They did not make up how to assemble aircrafts. Tho left FOD on MAX and KC-46’s. It all happened in separate plants

But if you are treated like a McDonald's 'burger technician', you get what you sow.

Unions started to fight workers being treated as 'tools'. People, human beings, being treated as replaceable 'things'. But at the same time, they had 'room and board' as part of the employee contract. You lived in 'company towns', and if you were fired, you were literally toosed out, and all your belongings were either destroyed, or tossed on the street. And the 'company store' was a thing too. You couldn't quit until you paid off the inflated prices you were forced to pay.

How close are we to that now?

Close...

It's hard to feel like doing a good job for a company that treats you like a file cabinet, and knowing that they have no respect for you.

Right now I'd feel safer on an older Boeing or an Airbus. The A220 seems like a good aircraft.
