A story from my professor when I was studying my master degree: Years ago, Boeing hated a 3rd party quality inspector (the type that airlines hire to inspect before planes are handed over), because he was competent yet stubborn. He would always insist that Boeing make all corrections on the problems he found before handing over the planes. This obviously would slow down the whole process and raised the cost. After growing tiresome of him, Boeing thought of something clever. It called and had another company headhunting him away (with much higher salary) from this position, so Boeing could deal with someone less competent or less stubborn.

The whistleblowers also told us, that there are security issues in the newer planes, that might only come up after years. If the big manufacturers do not return to their old policies that disregarded "Shareholder value" than we might even have reached the peak of security in flying -- with the way downwards in front of us!

In the midst of all these negative comments about Boeing let me add one more comment. I am an Indian and travelled from Bengaluru to Pune on 3/4/2024 on a 737 Max 8. It was a 90 minute flight. Let me share my travel experience. Firstly I made local enquiries because I was very much afraid of the Max 8. I was told that the international aviation agencies including European agencies have given their consent about the safety after major modifications. The take off was very smooth. The cruise was marvellous without an iota of turbulence or disturbance. The landing was picture perfect and unbelievably smooth. I am now having a nice time in Pune and will return to Bengaluru in a Air Bus aircraft. At the time of booking, I had no idea which type of aircraft I would be travelling for both the onward and return journey.

few years ago there was a documentary filmed party in secrete (maybe it is still available on youtube today) regarding the superficiality of some checks, manufacturing processes and the push from management for profit in the detriment of safety and regulations. In that documentary there were some employees stating that it's just a matter of time we will start to see these issues and fatal accidents. It seems to be happening now...

We should respect whistleblowers. Maybe, he didn't kill himself, but in the end it is more likely that the stress of using his retirement to stand up to a huge corporation with infinite resources for their legal defence was too much to bear. Some whistleblowers are after attention or have a way to profit, but not most. They do it for the public good. Thank you, John Barnett and rest in peace.

Emily Leshner replying to the question if it is currently safe to fly Boeing planes by coming up with the safety record of the whole industry is like one betting on a loosing team just because the championship always has a winner.

Four times the rate as in western Europe, and another matter they stubbornly ignore like the number of gun victims of about the same size. Even more troubling, more youngsters under 19 die by gun violence than by traffic accidents. And again, that is no matter of concern in the states. Shows the value of life as compared to profits...

[@Gardentrellis]

I worked at Boeing for 8 years in Everett. I have only been on one flight in my life in middle school on a trip to New York in the early 2000’s, I’m scared of planes yet I worked on them A/B decks as well as “dog pit” that’s what the team called it. I frequently have nightmares of hitting the ceiling of the plane mid flight - AND what’s amazing is I just had another one a few days ago before I even watched this. I always freak out in my dream thinking I’m going to bust through the ceiling and into the clouds - not likely 😅 as I’d die on impact but still I have dreams that the ceiling is somehow paper thin.

[@eskutts]

Boeing's problems is now a great case study for all corporates in the world, if you only prioritise profits over product and service quality, then eventually you will fail and may become bankrupt as well. Hence start fearing greed and aim for fair and optimum profits only, then you will achieve long term success. Period.

Ive only been looking into this topic because of my unpleasant experience of flying in a Boeing 737 recently. I don’t fly as much as I used to, but this last flight I took I was uneasy the entire flight and was so thankful to land alive. The take off was troubling for me
