White collar engineers? Paying attention to blue collar techs? That's the plot of the next Andy Weir novel, isn't it? A hilariously naive notion of people working together to solve problems? Sounds like his work.

    Boeing actually did this when they designed the 777. They were the first manufacturer to hire a Chief Mechanic to participate in the design process. His name is Jack Hessburg.

    In his role as chief mechanic at Boeing, Hessburg led a group of more than 100 mechanics in designing features into the 777 that have made it one of the most mechanic-friendly airplanes in the world.
