There needs to be criminal charges against capitalism then. That the only "rational" reason for the decline in quality - cost savings.

[@mangos2888]

This has been in my feed since it posted, but I've actively avoided watching it because I expect softball questions by legislators getting funding from Boeing for their next re-election and, at best, FAA officials who refuse to ask questions that would be appropriate but self-incriminating against the FAA. I have ZERO faith in the American government to properly address this issue, so this show-and-dance is all a facade. I'm only at the start of this video now because it's a sleepless 3 a.m. and maybe this video will be uneventful and long enough to drift me back to sleep 😴 💤

[@arewestilldoingphrasing6490]

Ah yes its Donald Trump that caused it. How about boeing own integrity. How about the whistleblowers talking about Boeing working with NTSB and FAA. And you want to play politics. How did the executive order affect Boeing not having integrity and using government favors to skirt around accountability

[@flamboone9727]

Boeing customers are way more powerful than any government oversight agency. And that is what Boeing is “reacquainting” themselves with.

[@TheRaferaf]

@flamboone9727 If there was gv't oversight consumers wouldn't have to findout about production deficiencies by sitting next to a door that's blowing out or a plane peeling off its superstructure mid flight.

[@flamboone9727]

@@TheRaferaf There is also government oversight in the automotive industries. And yet their customers are the ones that matter. Commercial aircrafts are many times more sensitive to the customer’s decisions because of the amount it takes to invest in one product and the time it takes to get a positive ROI.

[@susanberbec1226]

Um, yeah

[@scout-187inf]

​@@susanberbec1226 definitely sus.

[@mojothedodo]

That’s exactly what brought me to the comments 😮… that’s intentional. I’m going to look for this hearing somewhere else to see if it’s any different.

[@mojothedodo]

Missing Joe Jacobsen testimony (1)“The MAX crew alerting system doesn't meet current design standards, and by my count the old standard has contributed to eight fatal crashes of Boeing aircraft and 885 deaths? since 1996. Despite this dismal safety record, in July 2022, Boeing Chief Safety Officer Mike Delaney stated "I personally have no belief that there's any value in changing the 737." CEO Dave Calhoun lobbied further and said "This is a risk I'm willing to take. If I lose the fight, I lose the fight." Boeing lobbying efforts succeeded and the ACSAA legislative deadline for producing a compliant MAX crew alerting system was removed. Design unsafe conditions and inflight emergencies appeared almost immediately after the MAX returned to service. First, faulty electrical bonding and grounding, followed by a "bad batch" of stabilizer trim motors. Since then, on the design side, we've seen FAA identify unsafe conditions for the engines, the engine anti-ice system, and the standby power control unit. On the manufacturing side, FAA has identified unsafe conditions for engine anti-ice (EAl) exhaust duct fasteners, compromised sealant adhesion within the center fuel tank, and loose bolts in the rudder assembly. Since the door plug blowout, we've seen stuck rudder pedals and FAA has revealed another unsafe condition due to chafing of mis-installed electrical wire bundles to the wing spoilers. Rather than an immediate inspection to prevent uncommanded rolls, Boeing and FAA are proposing to allow up to three years, gambling on a slow chafing rate for improperly routed wire bundles.”

[@mojothedodo]

Joe Jacobsen missing testimony (2) The "grandfathered" design of the MAX leaves many vulnerabilities. When combined with a failure to investigate the manufacturing chaos identified nearly six years ago by Ed Pierson, this led to a predictable, but still shocking, list of unsafe conditions. In addition to the unsafe conditions, other MAX certification mistakes were identified and granted design exemptions by the FAA. The stall management yaw damper and the flap-slat electronics unit® aren't required to be fixed until March of 2027, leaving them vulnerable to effects of lightning and high intensity radiated fields (HIRF). Even when not identified by FAA as unsafe conditions, we've seen other serious incidents. On February 24, 2023, a brand new 737 MAX made an emergency landing after the horizontal.

[@loveguitar2x]

Honestly, this is so embarrassing for a company like Boeing with such history and heritage. The fact that it came to this point is insane. SMH 🤦

[@WojciechowskaAnna]

do you really belive companies with history and heritage have hight standard just because of it? obviously you never worked as engineer in a company that is supposed to bring profit.

[@hellojams]

Americans are at fault too, worshipping billionaires and kissing their feet. Of course the rich will view normal, everyday citizens as disposable bugs. You think Boeing CEO and board of directors care that people died on company planes? 😂

[@mackabeats]

Two whistleblowers dead now. They need to protect these guys.😮

[@livethefuture2492]

i wonder how much this 'wistleblower protection' is worth...and whether anything would come of coming out and testifying anyway.

[@pne5720]

I'm 50+ and have been involved with doing quality control and testing for Boeing products and facilities years ago and is where I learned some of the highest standards I can remember. Boeing previously had a culture of the highest quality and pride of workmanship that you could expect. That can be restored. Take the pencil pushers out of control. They don't care because they don't understand the situation and impact of their actions. When you insentivise management by what the stock price is, this is what happens. When you put a person in charge that takes pride in the product produced, you will get quality products again. The CEO should not make more money than 10 times the highest paid line worker. Bring management down onto the floor to work with the workers. They need to close the ivory towers and experience reality. They need to be committed to the product.

[@Malzanar2010]

Interesting how it cut off when the last Joe was giving specific examples of issues… 🤔

[@TheBuckaroo987]

Another day and another testimony. NOTHING will be done while innocent people suffer the loss of their loved ones for years to come.

[@mojothedodo]

To see Joe Jacobsen's opening remarks that are suspiciously missing from most posts of the hearing.. CBS included his opening statement in their video of the same hearing. Very interesting it was removed from several other videos of this Hearing.. especially since Joe is dropping names!

[@stevegovea1]

[@P-47D_theJug]

Sen. Marshall’s questions/statements were absolutely inappropriate and worthless! He used his time to advertise a wind tunnel and suggested all Boeing 777/787 can have the hulls tested at this particular wind tunnel. This inappropriate form of advertising and push to run Boeing planes through this wind tunnel suggests Sen. Marshall has some type of financial interest in this wind tunnel. He’s promoting self-interests before public safety!! Kansas, vote out Sen. Marshall. Find another republican to better represent Kansas and public safety!

[@pivoune]

Just wondering: taking this hearing as a general example for all the hearings we hear about. What is their purpose? To my knowledge nothing ever gets done about the issues discussed. My opinion: it’s just a way for politicians to seemingly show for the general audience that they are upset about the issues discussed and that they care. But it’s just that and nothing more: putting in a show
