    I have it direct from the CEO of Boeing, it’s just a minor “quality escape”. nothing to worry about, we have them all the time.

    When questioned further on what exactly is a “quality escape” he got confused, and failed to give a coherent answer.
    But apparently Boeing does not recognize faults, because faults are bad, instead they have occasional quality escapes, which are OK, and not a big deal.

      Corporate euphemisms are out of control

        Honestly, I find it contemptible, it’s always an attempt to spin something, either to tone it down or to sound clever or something, sometimes it’s even decidedly misleading. It’s sickening IMO.

        “Quality escape” isn’t a euphemism. It’s the term for a defect being missed in inspection.

      Seems like that response from the CEO was a bit of a quality escape
