This is the type of peak capitalism that make me lose all faith in humanity. The fact American companies feel pressure to pay even less than the already poor salaries is testament to the need to burn this all to the ground.
As far as I know, the MAX software fully complied with its software requirements. The problem was crappy system requirements, and Boeing actively lied to their pilots to conceal that they added a brand new automatic flight control system that can push the elevators down independent of the autopilot and stick pusher.
i read that Boeing paid developers in India less than $5/hr for the 737 MAX software

That last part is what sent people to jail.
Specifically, the ‘for test flight use only’ software that wasn’t removed after test flight.
Don’t worry, we’ll refactor when we get time!
That’s shit even by Indian standards.
I hope they pay air force one programmers 2 dollars an hour, engineers 3 dollars an hour and factory workers 20 cents an hour.
To save on costs, QAs could be paid in exposure.
I, on the other hand, hope something will push them to pay their programmers 25 an hour
