%% For BA whistleblowers seems like a death spiral\ both the stock + whistle blowers. MORE dangerous than gov heath care............................+ medical -industrial complex
Agree... its pretty close to rock bottom. Boeing is a big company. Quality varies over time like Ford. They get it right for awhile then the bean-counters come in and fuck it up. Then the needle swings towards engineers in leadership and they tighten up the quality.
Here's a list of the next 10... Is Boeing in big trouble? World's largest aerospace firm faces 10 more whistleblowers after sudden death of two https://www.hindustantimes.com/worl...fter-sudden-death-of-two-101714838675908.html
Another whistleblower has struck Boeing. Whistleblower warned Boeing of flaws in 787 planes that could have ‘devastating consequences’ https://www.cnn.com/2024/06/26/business/boeing-whistleblower-787/index.html A whistleblower has come forward Wednesday alleging parts of Boeing’s 787 Dreamliner planes were built in an unsafe manner – potentially leading to “devastating consequences.” Richard Cuevas, a mechanic at Strom, a contractor for Boeing manufacturing partner Spirit Aerosystems, claims that he witnessed holes that were improperly drilled into the forward pressure bulkheads of 787 planes at Spirit’s Wichita, Kansas, facility in 2023. The bulkhead is one of the primary parts of an airplane’s body and crucial for keeping the structure of the plane intact while it’s in the air. Cuevas claims that he filed a complaint in October 2023 to Boeing and Spirit about “substandard manufacturing and maintenance processes” he witnessed, and was fired just a few months later, according to the complaints filed by his attorneys and obtained by CNN. Boeing said it had previously investigated Cuevas’ allegations and they did not pose a safety problem. “A subcontractor’s employee previously reported concerns to us that we thoroughly investigated as we take seriously any safety-related matter,” the company said in a statement. “Engineering analysis determined that the issues raised did not present a safety concern and were addressed.” The company said it is reviewing the documents Cuevas’ attorneys made public Wednesday and will investigate any new claims. Spirit Aerosystems and Strom did not immediately respond to requests for comment. The Federal Aviation Administration said in a statement that they “strongly encourage anyone with safety concerns to report them and we thoroughly investigate every report.” The FAA said it has revieved 126 Boeing whistleblower reports this year and 11 last year. Cuevas said the gaps he observed in the plane’s forward pressure bulkheads appeared in two aircraft that he helped build and could potentially lead to “catastrophe.” Cuevas claims the workers were drilling holes slightly larger than Boeing’s specifications to “clear excess paint from the holes and speed up a slow process,” which, he believes, could compromise power and air pressure on the planes, creating serious safety risk for the passengers on board. Cuevas said he filed a complaint with Boeing’s ethics hotline, reporting to management that he believed Spirit was hiding the issues from Boeing. He also alleges that Boeing opened an investigation into Cuevas’ concerns in October 2023, alerting Spirit management to the complaints. During that time, Cuevas says his colleague remarked, “we’ve got a snitch among us,” and in March, Spirit suddenly fired Cuevas, according to the complaints. The complaints say Cuevas witnessed these problems with three planes he worked on and believes these issues may affect at least 10 to 12 planes either in production or already released to Boeing.

It's more than Boeing whistleblowers being found dead. Thanks to Trump, soon Boeing will be found dead. Trump fired a tariff torpedo at China — and hit Boeing right between the eyes https://www.latimes.com/business/st...t-china-and-hit-boeing-right-between-the-eyes "This is a tariff policy we’ve been told will solve the fentanyl crisis, get rid of illegal immigration, rescue the budget deficit, solve bilateral trade deficits and cure toe fungus....Actually we’re serving none of those goals." — Economist Justin Wolfers
