In US Senate testimony today, whistle-blowers DUMPED on
Boeing for extreme, dangerous, sloppiness and even for
criminally disappearing documents relevant to current
safety incidents. Profit motives came to replace integrity
at the company and anyone who mentioned it was persecuted,
fired or intimidated.
Some like to blame "DEI" policies, which may have some
small relevance, but the REAL problems are at the very
top levels, upper management and likely the Board. It's
a "Who CARES if they fall out of the air - so long as
we get PAID first" sort of attitude.
One whistle-blower has now also called for grounding
of the 787 Dreamliner, saying it is put together with
the same disregard for engineering and safety.
If this was just one whistle-blower we might suspect
a disgruntled employee, but more and more are coming
forward with similar stories and grave warnings.
What's Airbus stock going for these days ?
Boeing is a large concern. It doesn't JUST make
passenger planes but is ALSO heavily involved
in DEFENSE projects. Has the same attitude
infected THAT part of the business too ? The
military needs to do some random tests and
inspections of Boeing-involved mil-tech to
see what's what.
