+ glutes Posted March 25 Author Share Posted March 25 Boeing Calhoun given the boot. He was put in place after the Max 8 public relations disaster. Like his predecessor he will walk out the door with tens of millions of dollars. Not exactly serious repercussions for poor leadership. Until Boeing starts putting engineering first, instead of profits, these incidents will continue, Airbus will benefit and passengers will be endangered. It was only through sheer luck no one died when the door plug blew out. If deaths had occurred Boeing would be in an even worse position right now.

+ glutes Posted April 9 Author Share Posted April 9 (edited) CNN — Federal authorities say they’re investigating Boeing after a whistleblower repeatedly raised concerns with two widebody jet models, and claimed the company retaliated against him. Whistleblower Sam Salehpour, a Boeing engineer, alleges that Boeing took shortcuts when manufacturing its 777 and 787 Dreamliner jets, and that the risks could become catastrophic as the airplanes age. The New York Times was first to report the whistleblower complaint. Wonder how long this whistleblower will be alive?
