  • A number of articles have appeared in the mainstream media citing Boeing whistleblowers, revealing how the planemaker’s practices are not meeting expectations. However, in almost all cases, the whistleblower is not identified, so the story's integrity is hard to establish. Recently, another such report was carried by TV station KIRO 7, quoting an unidentified Boeing employee sharing his concerns over non-compliance issues at the Everett manufacturing facility.

    It's McDonnell Douglas all over again !! 😮 What's disturbing, is that Boeing merged with these merchants of death. ☠️ The lessons from the DC-10 and it's infamous life, seemed to have been forgotten. How long will it be before another horrendous, mind numbing crash happens ? I have all but abandoned flying. It is no longer the fun, adventurous experience that it was in the 70's and 80's. I'm in no mood at my age, to play Russian Roulette. Gambling is not my thing and never has been.

    • @prichter9798
      @prichter9798 3 місяці тому

      Boeing didn't really merge with McDonnell Douglas, Boeing management got thrown out and GE's management was installed at the bequest of Wall Street. Wall Street wanted Jack Welch's management style to drive up market value. And that's the story of Corporate America in the 21st century.

    Why did this employee decide to speak out NOW instead of before the blow-out happened? Boeing has major work to do but Always be suspicious anonymous sources.

      Yeah, it's not like Boeing have had glaring quality control and corporate failure problems over the last ten years or so...

    No one believes you Boeing. You’ve been shown to favour profit and market share vs. delivering safe aircraft that passengers trust.

    Say one thing for the record. Produce something different. Unacceptable.
