Summary
Whistleblowers at Boeing allege widespread safety lapses, including missing or defective parts and improper assembly practices, driven by pressure to maintain production schedules.
A January incident where a door panel blew off a new 737-9 Max mid-flight has sparked investigations, with insiders like Sam Mohawk revealing that thousands of faulty parts may have been installed on planes.
Other whistleblowers describe similar concerns over quality control failures, managerial indifference, and retaliation for speaking out.
Boeing denies safety risks but faces ongoing FAA investigations amid heightened scrutiny over its practices.
I think it was scanning metal thicknesses. I don’t know all the details but she said there was two weeks of meetings and they concluded the dude was an idiot and there wasn’t really anything else that they could have done to stop him besides firing or moving him somewhere else. Dude just ignored all the safety warnings and bypassed the barriers or whatever on purpose.
I worked in a food production plant, and we had a x-ray scanner we were NOT allowed to operate because of stuff like this.
These are multiyear “professionals” supposedly trained for that work. Boeing is a shitshow.
