This article on Newsweek reports on the experiences at Boeing of a whistleblower. I have seen similar reports elsewhere. The whistleblower, Santiago Paredes, worked at Boeing and Spirit (a Boeing subcontractor). One of the things he said was "Many employees are afraid to fly on planes they helped build because they knew how they were constructed and the defects they had. This fear reflects a problematic culture within Spirit and Boeing." This is extremely worrying. Boeing's problems continue to get worse:
Although it is not likely that the US government will allow the total collapse of Boeing, the company will probably be unrecognisable after all the chickens come home to roost. |
