Fiddling while Rome burns department

Now looking at the issues, it seems there are technical problems (it can't just be some wrong-length wiring to cause such a delay) which needs technical people to be applied to the issue and get it sorted. A fairly standard R&D snafu.

But the various Chief Executives seem to be living in a parallel universe. Instead of encouraging the tech staff considerably in this endeavour, the main aim of which is to recover the revenue stream from aircraft deliveries, they are going round just spouting about job cuts and getting tied up as a result in political jockeying from various locations.

Job cuts are what you do when you have people with not enough work to do. In the present situation there is plenty of work to do and the team need to get stuck in, not be made to feel uncertain about their futures.
