> The offshore team is isolated from the company, all of its storied century of knowledge (in this case), about engineering, materials, machining, quality, certification, aerospace, systems, it goes on and on.

In company as big and old as Boeing,many teams work isolated and independently. I don't belive knowledge gets shared that easily. Also what I read about Boeing culture (I forgot where but reddit ama I guess), it was declined way back.

Blaming the problem on $9 offshore engineer really look bad on company. I have worked with $5 engineers as well as $100 engineers in past. As long as you don't have proper verification proess both can screw the system. I blame it on company executives who sidelined safety altogether.
