For RR it's an R&D issue with the design. For P&W it seems an inability to overcome issues in an adequate manner. For GE it's not being able to get in place the staffing to meet their commitments.
All are likely down to budget constraints imposed from the top as if that is all there is to management. A result is the workforce required gets squeezed too much. Whoever put a new GE high-tech plant in the middle of a basically agricultural state, doubtless for cheap land and also low local labour rates, and then found they can't get high-tech qualified employes from Boston or California, or more likely hoping to poach trained and skilled employees from other companies, without noticing that such did not readily exist there. Whatever were their HR people at GE HQ in Boston/New York thinking ?
Or NOT thinking as the case may be?
