Summary

Whistleblowers at Boeing allege widespread safety lapses, including missing or defective parts and improper assembly practices, driven by pressure to maintain production schedules.

A January incident where a door panel blew off a new 737-9 Max mid-flight has sparked investigations, with insiders like Sam Mohawk revealing that thousands of faulty parts may have been installed on planes.

Other whistleblowers describe similar concerns over quality control failures, managerial indifference, and retaliation for speaking out.

Boeing denies safety risks but faces ongoing FAA investigations amid heightened scrutiny over its practices.

    Right because flying an airbus is magically going to change all of that for you. Right sure.

      I never said it did.

      This is what I said:

      I said I would never fly again unless I absolutely have to. Now I will absolutely have to and I hope to god it’s on an Airbus.

      Now, can you please quote where I said that Airbus didn’t have those issues? Good luck because I never did.

      There are plenty of legitimate things to hate on me for, so maybe hate on me for those instead.

        Ya flying sucks but if you do it on an airbus it’s magically better.

          Only if by “better,” you mean built without thousands of faulty or nonconforming parts. In that sense, absolutely.

          You did read the article, yes?

          Again, there are plenty of legitimate reasons to hate on me, so why are you making up new ones?

            Keep living in fear. That’s what the media wants.

              Please quote me being fearful rather than mitigating risk. Good luck.
