A US Air Force F-35 pilot spent 50 minutes on an airborne conference call with Lockheed Martin engineers trying to solve a problem with his fighter jet before he ejected and the plane plunged to the ground in Alaska earlier this year, an accident report released this week says.
America used to have so many engineers, like an entire generation of brilliant engineers.

I did an engineering degree in the UK and half the graduates went into banking. Dunno if it’s the same dynamic here.
that’s how it is with any degree
A lot of those engineers were operation paperclipped over here
