suspend 737?
Boeing deserves the negative news cycle they are in, but this aircraft was built when Boeing was putting out quality and the missing panel is a maintenance oversight.
When the us says they are the best of the best, its true
Nobody within Boeing would speak anymore….. not many people want to "suicide" 😢
Barnett, the "whistleblower" who exposed Boeing's safety issues and former Boeing quality management manager, was found dead in South Carolina on the 9th of this month.
His friend Jennifer claimed that Barnett did not commit suicide, which was impossible. He loved life, family and brothers too much to let them experience what they were experiencing now. The last time Jennifer saw Barnett was at the end of last month. She asked him if he was afraid of Boeing's retaliation. Barnett said: "I'm not afraid, but if something happens to me, it's not suicide. I won't commit suicide." Jennifer continued that someone had threatened Barnett, who didn't like what he said and wanted him to silence him. She guessed it was a representative of Boeing.
Boeing blaming their employees is a huge red flag to me. A good manufacturing system would make it impossible for employees to make significant errors.
If these planes are performing so poorly now, I can’t imagine what will happen if there is even more deregulation allowed.
I am unemployed political scientist.
Probably fatigue of material.
Normal thing.
work with employees who violated rules … nice.
Pre-Max the Boeing 737s were among the best. Statistically the Max is still average. Let’s hope no more sloppiness and harm.
The failure of this panel will be due to maintenance issues, not manufacturing. This conflates the problems Boeing has in manufacturing with poor maintenance practices.
If this was concerning a flight from California to Oregon, why did it include a shot of the Space Needle from Seattle Washington?
This was a maintenance issue, not a manufacturing issue. Maintenance is usually done by third party companies, not Boeing or United Airlines. When airlines and manufacturing companies cut corners to save more money, they go with the cheapest sub contractor they can find. And when the FAA passes on the over-site to those same subcontractors, things will always go wrong. I would say the fault is in the American citizens who put up with politicians who caused the deregulation that promoted the sloppy over-site.
Why is this company still in business, why don't they sell the airline division?
The Elites goal is to end air travel for the common people and only allow the Elites to fly over their slaves.
