The Boeing Scandal Just Got A LOT Worse

In just over a week since the last episode, a lot has happened with Boeing. From miss management of the manufacturing process to the death of a whistle blower. In this episode we'll take a look at all of that and also Boeing's close ties to the US government.

A quick update, the engine spitting flames and the aircraft running off the runway weren’t the fault of Boeing as per latest reports. That being said, the incident with the 50 passengers injured was quoted as a “technical problem” and the pilot “lost instrumentation” indicating a Boeing issue. The others are still under investigation, however since they are all Boeing planes in the incidents, it's just not a good look for them unfortunately.

[@MrGooglevideoviewer]

I don't work in the aircraft industry but I work on Aero-derivative turbine engines (jet engines that have been adapted from aircraft to use for other applications). Many of my co-workers have come from the aircraft industry. They are all VERY professional, HIGHLY skilled and take EXTREME care with everything they do. It's VERY impressive to watch. They were all pushed out of the industry by poor pay and conditions and insane responsibility placed on their shoulders they didn't feel was reasonable. They were replaced by staff with less experience. (none of them worked directly for Boeing, they worked for various carriers, this is a statement about their thoughts on the air-industry as a whole). They speak fondly of what Boeing used to be. When Airbus was new and their planes were often grounded (not unsafe with passengers on-board just, extra time needed for maintenance and planes not being ready to fly when needed), they used to have a saying that was "if it's boeing it's going"... because the boeing aircraft used to be ready first and be more reliable due to simpler time-proven designs... They all seem to agree it's not like that anymore. They all seem to agree that standards throughout the aircraft industry have dropped and that it's always corporate greed putting safety below profit. This refers to the carriers by the way. -- 2x caveats: 1. These guys all worked on aircraft engines and worked on Boeing and other aircraft but not directly for Boeing, rather for the carriers, and 2. These guys still all fly regularly as part of field service work. I think most of them select flights based on carrier and rewards points over aircraft manufacturer.

[@der_gato]

thats interesting, thank you for sharing their experiences. im curious how many decades ago was that? the aerospace industry is a total shitshow and I got to witness it because both my parents were in it since the 80s. this news doesn't surprise me because they used to work at Boeing and it was always shitty. rumors of cost cutting has been going on for years. they had these regular lay offs where they got rid of all the older workers who were about to hit retirement age to avoid paying them out and slowly all more experienced workers were being let go to hire fresh graduates who could be paid less. the ageism in that industry was psychotic. I remember my dad having to move to various states as well to find work because he'd regularly be let go in lay off due to pushing 50.

[@tuanpham-vv3qj]

I was an engineer in operational management and have to say that Boeing's problems is the management one. They only pay attention to the stock price instead of changing the culture! Every shareholder is greedy and that's is the main reason why companies like Boeing, Intel or AT&T did not arrive at the top of the industrial echelon ! Main reason for this that they put the beancounter in the position of CEO! In Boeing case, the engineer Muilenburg was under the pressure of the so called share holder to max the profit on cost of the safety! Intel suffered so much under Beancounter like Otellini and Bob Swan! If you have the gut, you can tell your shareholder that a profit margin of 10 to 15% is very good! But none of the CEO in USA did that! In Switzerland yes, Swatchgroup for example!

[@domnanzwandor]

When money becomes the primary interest ethics goes out the window. I believe that some companies shouldn't be on the stock market because the pursuit of profit becomes their priority. Sadly I have no solution to the problem this would create. Shareholders should also ease up on the demand for yearly growth in profits- it's just too greedy and doesn't make sense.

But rather a good enough grasp they can read back and communicate effectively with air traffic control.(I am currently attending a cadet pilot programme in Southeast Asia) Plenty of my peers are capable of making several grammatical errors. ICAO Rating scales that determine someone's English level are based on several categories such as grammar, comprehension, fluency etc. Someone who would score high on comprehension but lower on Grammar will end up with a rating somewhere either higher or lower depending on how they score in other areas. Most airlines require an ICAO level 4 rating for commercial pilots, the highest is 6. Yes you'd have attention to detail as a pilot, but not necessarily with grammar. We are trained to spot for visual details that might be out of the ordinary on planes etc. However, neither of us can make an educated guess and call bullshit on someone's credentials based on their grammar in this case, maybe if what they wrote was entirely incomprehensible maybe then you could question their abilities as an airline pilot. What he wrote outside of being grammatically incorrect, is that it is understandable to read. Which is the most important thing.

What really bothers me is when you have a whisleblower killed the day before they're to give the testimony that they've been waiting to give, and no one, NOT ONE PERSON in an official capacity is willing to say the timing looks very suspect. It is just swept under the rug right in front of us. They always say the whistleblower was really going thru some hard times leading up to their death. Well yeah, whistleblowers are constantly harrassed and intimated by the people or entities that they're blowing the whistle on without any kind of protection.

Many airliners have been prioritizing Airbus’ planes over Boeing’s planes. It is clear in the number of orders that Airbus and Boeing got in the last 5 years. In addition, at least Airbus uses the money from the governments to build safe aircrafts instead of satisfying the demands of the shareholders.

Our HS has a senior trip every year that involved a flight from Philadelphia to Orlando (in order to see a particular greedy mouse), usually with American Airlines. This year was my class's turn. I fly a lot as my family likes to travel, but we prefer Airbus, and now I understand why. The way there was completely okay... besides them overbooking the flight and us having to put our carry-on into the storage, it was pretty smooth. The way back. It was bad. The flight got delayed 6 hours, and that's a regular enough occurrence, but the actual travel was horrid. We went through turbulence (with light shut off for a few moments) on a low-wind-sparsely-cloudy day, and during the landing they locked the rear right wheels (or I assume so with the plane's trajectory), leading to the plane drifting. We had the same exact model plane and same seating chart on the way there & back, and the 2nd flight felt significantly more sketch. My props to the pilot for managing this mess of a plane, but with a 12 hr flight approaching in less than a day for me and my mother, I hope we're flying Airbus lol.

If the bolt isn't right, the assembly computers will not allow the vehicle to be cleared to leave the manufacturing plant until its fixed..Any rework following final assembly is also recorded digitally for years in case of future issues, and everything must be verified by 2 independent technicians using 2 independently calibrated tools ...There is ZERO chance these logs "go missing" ... it's automated and foolproof so only way it's missing is with malice

Why doesn't the FAA have this authority with the aircraft manufacturers? There is absolutely no "collaboration" allowed between the FDA and the med-dev companies. In fact, most of the periodic audits are done by a "competent authority," a company that is directly empowered to conduct impartial investigations and has no stake in either the FDA or the manufacturers.

I don't need a whistleblower to tell me not to fly Boeing. I can work that out just by looking at how MCAS was implemented. I'm a software engineer. I work on systems specified at five nines availability (99.999% uptime). We don't hit that by writing software that never goes wrong, because that's virtually impossible. We hit that through multiple layers of fault monitoring and redundancy. You ask "what can go wrong here" and design the system so that it remains available even if part of it fails. Then I look at MCAS. Software with the control authority to put a plane in an unrecoverable nosedive, fed AoA data by a *single sensor.* No checking that the second AoA sensor agrees. No checking against current attitude that MCAS activation is appropriate. No safeguards limiting how far MCAS can move the vertical stabiliser. No warning to the pilot that MCAS is activating. It was a ticking bomb from day one. This isn't a single fuck-up. The design and implementation of MCAS screams of *catastrophic incompetence.* I spend 10 seconds thinking about it and come up with fundamental safeguards that Boeing's management didn't sign off on, or Boeing's engineering never thought of. Why would I trust that MCAS is an isolated incident, when it demonstrates fundamental engineering flaws? Quoting statistics on flight safety is all well and good, but thankfully there's competition in aviation. Why would I step onto an aircraft if I don't trust the engineering that went into it? If it's Boeing, I'm not going.

[@thierrysf]

Same with me. If it is Boeing I am not buying the ticket. Greed and toxic corporate culture will be Boeing's undoing. But the US governement will bail them out and not a single executive at Boeing will be punished, lose their job, lose their retirement benefits, lose their stock options etc. This is an abolute certainty.

If I said to you "DFMEA", it puts your comment into a nutshell. Your second and third paragraphs effectively describe exactly what a DFMEA is supposed do. My guess is they weren't doing their DFMEAs or PFMEAs properly (if at all). I've just retired from being a Professional Automotive Engineer - I could never have got away without having my DFMEAs in place and kept up to date. The company I worked for (JLR) was absolutely shit-scared of US Product Safety legislation. Why isn't Boeing? Oh, did you say something about Boeings government lobbying?

[@asdf242]

i learned quite a bit from your articulate comment; thank you

[@windsofmarchjourneyperrytr2823]

I saw Mentaur pilot on this and an interview w the engineer/pilot hired to investigate on simulator. He cried explaining that the pilot on Lion air and the other one, dud the RIGHT THING for stabilizer failure (what Boeing said to do). Problem, is that it really fights you VERY close to the ground. It said cut power to stabilizers and use a hard-to-use wheel. But, you have to use them to land, I think...

[@CycloneCyd]

@@asdf242thank you. FMEA = Failure Mode and Effects Analysis. D = design (and engineering) and p = process (manufacture). FMEAs had the search light shone on them after the Challenger disaster. The DFMEA for the shuttle rated the o-ring failure as a 1 in 1 million event (or less). Although the severity was rated 10 (death/serious injury, highest rating) they did nothing about it because the overall score was low. This changed the perspective on DFMEAs, so that as well as attending to high overall scores, engineers would investigate and design out failures with a severity of 8, 9 or 10 no matter the overall score. At least, that's how it happened in the automotive industry in the very early 90s when I was but a young Engineer and had to do no end of DFMEA training courses. It is obvious to me as a Professional Engineer, that the 737 Max sensor issue that caused the two crashes should have been designed (engineered) out because the DFMEA would rate the severity of sensor failure as a 10. Simple as!! Someone didn't do their job(s) properly and weren't being supervised properly on that. BTW, have a look at my channel if you do any of your own car maintenance.

[@RealWorldAviationandGaming9392]

Yes, I would agree with your analysis and comments on the issues. All the malfunctions shown are common aircraft malfunctions on many aircraft including Boeing, Airbus, and Military aircraft. There is always an announcement to keep your seatbelt fastened while seated, just in case of turbulence. For the wheel failing while the aircraft was ascending, someone did not follow instructions, nor did a second party or additional eye (maintenance supervisor/ senior mechanic QA the maintenance actions, to make sure the tire was torqued, transducer bolt and nut were properly tightened and secured along with the hub and V-band clamp, which requires safety wire. These are maintenance issues, not The manufacturer. Let us put the blame where it belongs. The Airline or carrier pushes maintenance personnel to get the job done as quickly and fast as possible because of the schedules, rotations, etc... of course, the other side of the push is when you value your skills, the threat of being fired or moved to an unsatisfying dead-end position or task. So, unfortunately, John Barnett paid the ultimate. 30 years as a Quality Manager, but did not say anything till after retirement, speaks volumes to me. So the real problems were the manufacturer, management, policies and practices, employees, and mechanics. RESEARCH THE BOEING PLANT IN CHARLESTON SOUTH CAROLINA AND Philadelphia

I don’t work for Boeing but I do work for RTX corporation in the finance department. Last year the company found that the density of the walls inside some engines where below standards (or something like that, sorry I’m no engineer)of the Prat and Whitney business division. So the company made an international recall and ask for all airbus planes with that specific engine to be grounded until they could be check and change if needed. High level executives were fired and drastic changes were done in a couple of weeks. I think this recall cost the company something like 20 billion dollars. 80% of that amount is just the reimbursement for airlines for the loss of revenues caused because the planes had to be grounded. But the point is that at least RTX took accountability and they took preventive measures to ground the planes as soon as posible, and not wait until planes start falling from the sky like Boeing did in 2018-2019. Like Bennett said, this not a 787 problem this is a BOEING problem.

[@antonberglund117]

Did Airbus need to pay anything for that recall? And is RTX the manufacturer of the engine (engine parts)?

[@josephadams4629]

Just to be clear you have no intention of suicide right?

[@oldrageface8706]

Fines need to be orders of magnitude larger than the cost of taking accountability. And the CEOs and all the higher ups need to be personally made responsible for such incidents (the Boeing ones I mean), and prosecuted to the fullest. Else they have no incentive to take their job seriously.

I was a Flight Deck module designer at Boeing in Renton and from 1998-2002. During this time, there was a business transition with the acquisition of McDonald Douglas. Soon after some of the employees from MD were hired to work at the Renton plant. One such person became the top boss with the Flight Deck group. Almost immediately there was a toxic change in the engineering group working environment. It changed from a great and kind of cool place to work to one of backbiting and cronyism. It got so bad I eventually resigned. In my opinion, that is where things began to disintegrate at few levels which I believe caused the 737 Max disaster as they forced it into the fleet while knowing there was a problem. Now they can't even get the bugs worked out on the Artemis moon rocket program. Sadly I believe it is systemic and widespread within Boeing's work culture at many levels, especially at the top.

[@LKN117]

All it takes is one person with too much authority to bring something great to ruin.

[@Botchedtoeknife]

YOUR DEAD 💀 lol jk

[@MrHav1k]

The Douglass "acquisition" should go down as the worst merger of all time. They took all the BS that made their aircraft flying deathtraps and transferred that onto Boeing...

Thanks for sharing.

Yeah: whilst SpaceX successfully designed 2 (TWO) new rockets, Pesonel capsule and starlink, Boeing is still struggling to get ONE thing done right

I work at airbus, we focus more on perfect quality and employees safety than profit or schedule, we are often off schedule, no accidents, no quick fixes.

[@gangstaberry2496]

Airbus will be reaping all the benefits quite soon!!

[@carytaylor1415]

Evidently, Boeing is not adhering to its Just Culture commitments. Does Airbus ever liquidate any of its employees?

I’m starting to be relieved when I see I’m getting on an Airbus flight.

I have fear of flight, but i have been on finnair airbus a320 for two trips. It felt safe to be on board tho.

[@elearnplay8714]

When I found a fault with an Airbus product, they defended their position but I stood my ground. Investigation revealed a serious issue. They apologised, fixed it and offered me a job. 😜

[@hidden-treasures]

It's not just Boeing with problems. When I began my Engineering career decades ago, my organization was filled with Engineers from the front office on down. When I retired, that front office was filled with CPAs, PMPs, CFOs, and contract managers. Tthe last meeting I had with the Office Director included a hate filled rant about how much she hated us engineers! One manager took pride in throwing out risk lists that the engineers submitted.

[@erickpalacios8904]

Reminds me of David Graeber's bullshit jobs. So much of our economy runs on inflated salaries for pointless jobs.

[@emperortheconqueror4161]

[@watsisbuttndo829]

The moderm management style of "move fast and break stuff" is incompatible with the transport industry. I have no idea how Tesla have been getting away with the self drive BS, and watching space X willingly launch rockets with the takeaway that "if it clears the launchpad its a success" is a mindset that engineers of a couple of generations back would not have accepted. Blowing things up till you find the problem is how the soviets ran their space programme. It can be speedy but tends to put people into coffins.

[@muhdiversity7409]

In the months before I lost my job my employer went on a mission to eliminate all QA positions. On any project there were more managers and bean counters than engineers. Being so close to retirement I'm not sure I have the stomach for this anymore.

[@herbjones122578]

Always well done sir. Thank you.

[@LesPaul2006]

Dude, it's not just the old "profits over safety" crap. A company like that relies entirely on it's reputation, and if that is tarnished, their beloved profits will evaporate. It's not just about greed, it is pure and plain stupidity.
