A Senate investigations subcommittee examines the allegations of major safety failures at Boeing in a hearing featuring an engineer from the plane maker who claims that sections of the skin on 787 Dreamliner jets are not properly fastened and could eventually break apart.

The whistleblower, Sam Salehpour, sent documents to the Federal Aviation Administration, which is investigating the quality and safety of Boeing’s manufacturing. Another whistleblower – Ed Pierson, a former manager on the 737 program – and two other aviation technical experts are also on the witness list. Read more here: bit.ly/3UipTgY

    There needs to be criminal charges against Boeing management and board of directors for all the souls lost in MAX crashes

    A whistleblower hearing on of the backbones of our world’s travel and this video only has 39k views…..crazy. THIS actually matters and the broken system needs to be fixed ASAP.

    Donald Trump signed Executive Order 13771 “Reducing Regulation and Controlling Regulatory Costs" yet nobody says anything about it.

    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 🤦

    Hmmm, should I be suspicious that Joe's testimony was cut off just when he was pinpointing specific irregularities?
  • @MrShawn1190
    Thank you guys for standing up for something!
  • It's a waste of time to be a decent person in an indecent society (America - rotten to the core).
  • i wonder how much this 'wistleblower protection' is worth...and whether anything would come of coming out and testifying anyway.
  • @TheBuckaroo987
    Another day and another testimony. NOTHING will be done while innocent people suffer the loss of their loved ones for years to come.

    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.
  • WITHOUT A DOUBT I WOULD TRUST MY LIFE WITH THESE TYPES OF GENTLEMEN NOT Boeing’s management. Period!
  • @flamboone9727
    The witness is wasting his time. The people he os testifying before are part of the problem.
