The Boeing Scandal Just Got A LOT Worse
Ғылым және технология
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.

@timcisneros1351
Ай бұрын
@@sandyhamburg2727 I remember the Airbus accident at the Paris airshow where the plane wouldn't let the pilot climb and it went into a forest of trees and exploded. They were developing the "fly by wire" technology instead of having cables connected to the flight controls they are they are electrical connections to servos and actuators. It's why I don't fly commercially anymore. But then again I have no need to fly so there's that. I feel safer driving.
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.

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.

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!

I find it interesting to note that, when a fault is easy for members of the public to understand, like the missing bolts, the reputational damage is bigger than when a fault is subtle, as with the two 737 Max crashes, even though no-one died in the former and many people died in the latter.

(This wasn't true.) News editor didn't want to get in the middle, and blocked the story. The story eventually ran and was a scandal for the company. My guy was out of work for years.

Fully equipped with MCRASH and the door plugs were replaced with butt plugs. That was exactly why they called it the Dreamliner. You must be dreaming if you think you’re getting off this liner alive. Last flight I was on a passenger next to me was eating a sandwich that was served and half way through eating it she freaked out because she found a used condom in her sandwich. So it’s not just the actual planes and the mechanics of it. It’s right on down to the staff and the pilots and everything in between I mean this point they may as well call them crash on takeoff.

@@TydiriumPilot To pass ICAO level 4 English this stuff isn't required. A lot of pilots that come from Asia-Pacific countries don't need to have perfect English. 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.

‘Flies’ not ‘fly’. If you’re a pilot, I’m Donald Trump.
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.

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. Legally they're supposed to be protected, but that's about as effective as a restraining order to a stalker that wants to seal the deal.

I'm an A&P technician with about twenty years experience working on Lockheed, Bell, Boeing, and Sikorsky aircraft. In Dec 2021, I applied at Boeing at Renton and was interviewed not by a team of technicians or engineers, but rather some young HR personnel. They asked such hard hitting questions as, "do you know how to use a hammer", and "can you drill a hole". They clearly had no idea the technical challenges they were hiring for, and made an offer commensurate with what local fast food chains were paying. If that's what they're offering to live in a very HCOL area, I can't imagine who's actually taking the jobs.

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

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 work in the medical device industry. We have traceability requirements even more strict than the airline industry. If one of our products caused harm or a death (never mind several hundred) and we said we couldn't find a critical document, the FDA is empowered to shut the company down that day (and has in the past). 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. The "self-certification" that Boeing did, with the blessings of the FAA, shows that this criminal investigation by congress should include that agency.

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.

Has anybody seen anyone make overtime by finding his own mistakes or by being more "productive"? I have not worked in aerospace. However I have worked in regulated industries for 30 years. Starting this 21st century, there has been a greater and greater perception that documentation is just "paperwork", a bunch of bs that only wastes people's time. Specially, with the abundance of managers that either are not engineers or are engineers that have dedicated themselves to management and see their kind as people that only like to waste time. When a person that has never had anything to do with mechanical or electrical parts, with coding, with prints, with manuals, that does not understand anything about alloys, hydraulics, assemblies, uses the oh so managerial phrases like "I am going to challenge those datelines" when he has never done any such work in his life neither cares to understand or learn what it entails, what he is telling the younger generations is that he does not care for it. At the end, he wants to see a machine and how that is achieved, by what level of appropriateness is optional. A fellow that retired told me that every time he was told to review a 100 page document over the weekend he was basically being told to, simply, not review it, just sign it. Mind you, the same companies that cry to the news media that there is too much regulation, are the same that also want to limit the right of victims to seek compensation, the same that only care about the current quarter report. I do not know many new engineers whose goal is not being a manager in 2 years, or a manager whose goes is not to be a director. The work in front of their eyes is pretty much "optional" and a drag on their careers. Add to that the reliance on "contractors" that simply want to complete the tasks they were hired for in the shortest amount of time and get the hell out. They have no vested interest in the final result, much less in the long term effect of their work. Still, management loves the concept. Of course there is a legitimate use for contractors as some skills are to specialized to keep around underutilized. Notwithstanding, I read a report that found there is a correlation between the use of contractor for critical work and industrial accidents. If anything, I am amazed we do not yet have more bridges and dams collapse and more refineries and chemical plants blow up. But I do believe is coming as, for example, where I work 66% of the personnel has been around for less than three years, while it used to be the majority had been around for over 20 years. Add to that you would have to surgical remove the phones from people's hands as they work while watching the basketball game, add to that when you report these things to the 30 year old 'cool' manager he explains that the new people get bored easily. I do not see how we will not have more of this stuff across different industries.
Thank you for the information .
CEOs actively destroying the companies they are responsible for should be illegal. There are countless lives involved in this. It includes the clients, the workers, the victims of accidents... Not a good trend.

Used to work for spirit, most old timers got cancer and there not much concern for safty. This really doesnt surprise me.
At least shareholders are getting a little bit of pain. The top management of all these companies need to be properly held accountable and punished. Not only are the shortcuts and deadlines that lead to mistakes and sketchy safety checks deadly to passengers, the workers are made the scapegoats for what is management's fault. Who wants to hire someone who has been said by Mr CEO to be the one responsible for an improperly fitted door plug? What happens when Airbus takes 20% of Boeing's sales and Boeing downsize to "keep profits high"? The CEO just gets a raise and 20% workers are "let go". So much for trickle down economics and allowing lobbyists to buy Congress members, defence purchasers and the media. Nail the fatcats first. Also,pressure must be placed South Carolina police and the FBI to properly investigate the apparent suicide. Just as an amateur on crime investigations but a keen gun owner, there is at least one red flag that screams out. The calibre of gun is not mentioned, but even a small calibre does not stay in the hand of the shooter - the recoil would throw it out and then when the suicide slumps of falls, the gun does too. The conclusions have to be sloppy police work until we get a proper report and a coroner who sounds incompetent, scared or less than interested in getting to the truth.
"Can't find the paperwork on the work done on the door plugs".. because the job was never done and the papers never existed.

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.

How many times have we seen that when senior management becomes obsessed with the share price, they end up tanking the company.
The Boeing I remember in the 90's was a solid company. But man, 2000's got really bad. Me and my father left the flight line at the Everett location. given the good graces of some higher ups who knew a lay off was coming. But after those first late 90 -2000's layoffs started, the company just kept going down hill.
