"With an engineered product, one barely needs a sales department, as the product sells itself on the engineering."
How I wish that were true. In reality the airlines set up a competition between Fleet A and Fleet B both of which can do the job, of course.

Contract negotiators earn more than engineers because they can very visibly earn (or lose) their employer millions.
