That sounds like they are knowingly underfunded, which they are.

They are? Where are all the airline startups? I assume they measure in the hundreds with all this dirt cheap talent running around.

Aerospace engineers have as much to do with airlines as software engineers have to do with data entry companies. Which is to say pretty much nothing.

Aerospace requires lots of capital expense and is very ‘large customer’ driven and aerospace engineers play second (or third) fiddle to that, unlike in software.
