I’d like to proactively send my condolences to the whistleblower’s family and friends.

Capitalism really is out here rotting everything isn’t it. Can’t trust the cars we drive without getting recalled, just trust the trains we ride without possibility of derailments. Now the largest manufacturing company of airplanes is covering up safety defects to ship product and make money at the expense of planes falling out of the sky and people losing their whole family.
This is wild.

Everyone is worried about the whistleblower. But dont forget there are people who don’t know about this scandal and buying tickets for Boeing flights right now. RIP

I’ve been trying to figure out wtf happened to Boeing.
I have a working (completely off the cuff, zero research) theory and wondered whether anyone else thinks it’s even remotely likely.
Seems to me that most of the “great institutions” of US industry post war had ramped up bigtime for military production, then were retooled to civilian production but staffed predominantly with returning veterans (especially in aerospace). One thing about military life in wartime (in WWII anyway) was *discipline*, quality control, strictly following rules & checklists. You didn’t cut corners. You followed procedures. Profit really wasn’t in the picture and quality/reliability was everything.
That would have set up a certain kind of workplace culture — a set of expectations, a morale, unwritten rules. Even after converting back to a profit-based industrial sector after demobilisation, some of that esprit de corporation would persist… for a while.
It’s — what, three? — workforce generations later, the US economy has been de-industrialised and financialised, and the “greatest generation” are long since retired, dead, gone. I’m wondering whether the notoriously high quality, the engineering excellence that was a trademark of US industry (esp aerospace) in the 50’s, 60’s, into the 70’s… was a legacy of WWII and has now evaporated. Without that workplace culture of excellence, adhering strictly to rules and procedures, etc, *and* with bean-counters and casino capitalists running the show… it makes sense to me that standards would slip, quality control would weaken, and profiteering would take priority over procedures and maintenance. And planes (or at least their parts) will fall out of the sky.
Is this a crazy idea? I’ve never been inside the industry so really dunno, I just remember my dad was in aerospace in the 60’s (engineer) and it was still run then kinda like a branch of the military in some ways because they had so many government contracts…

Just remember, Boeing slogan: we make your slush fund greater so then you can pay that crime later. Crime is cheap for them so let us help pay for your permanent life insurance. Where is the gofundthis account for a group policy on key person for day 10 million. Take my money.

There should be an archive of dead Boeing Whistleblowers.

That’s so wild. When I was making Blackhawk parts, we weren’t even allowed to repair parts that came out of the autoclave. They had to come out perfect or be tossed, basically. There was extremely few situations where it was allowed, and every part was ultrasounded, etc. Blows my mind given my own experience in producing aircraft parts. That would not fly, whatsoever. Where I worked.
