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.

    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.
