    He is so deeply saddened and probably terrified. Kids, this is what a real man looks like.
  • @kscory8577
    He better be careful so he doesn't off himself. You know self inflicted
  • @Beeeaks
    Good thing Congress doesn’t need to worry about this. They all fly private.
  • Be safe, whistleblowers and Senator Hawley. Keep sharing the facts and watching your back until we get rid of the bad actors.
  • Brit here, this is just a talking shop, whats happened since ? NOTHING. Carry on Boeing management, we fully agree greed is good.
  • I used to cast aluminum ingot for forging and extrusions....our main client? BOEING....I was a lab technician who sampled the metallurgical composition plus ultrasound testing of the alloy we casted... aerospace grade aluminum 7175/7050... had to watch quality drop year on year for "production". Safety went out the window, and I was fired unlawfully while home on surgical recovery... too vocal. Our CEO was eventual fired, was in previous scandal with Siemens, then fled to Saudi Arabia....not making this up Aerospace industry is twisted
  • @WalkiTalki
    Ask any sub contracted fabricator. These planes are built with only production quotas in mind. The only reason we haven't had more "accidents" is that the customer ends up discovering many flaws and they are repaired before someone was injured. There are subcompanies that pay their employees as much as Starbucks pays theirs. That alone should scare you.

    Please compare these faults to what happened with the De Havilland Comet in the 50s. Due to design & manufacturing faults the airframe suffered stress fractures leading to complete failures. The compression/decompression cycles caused these stress fractures to appear around the corners of the unusually shaped square windows.
  • @gunrunner7224
    Guess the safer options are drive yourself, carpool/bus or best option imo take the train.
  • @MrRourk
    It's safe but my family will not fly on one.
  • @paulbarron9745
    Boeing was the perfect company until it became a dollar suck.
  • These Boeing DEI Maintenance issues are the reason why these planes are not safe all Boeing Planes should not be in the air until DEI hires are Fired 🎯
  • Josh Hawley, being a politician should know exactly how Corporate America works at this point. It is not extraordinary, it is all too typical. For some reason the American public held the illusion that the manufacturer of airplanes was sacrosanct. Kind of like the pharmaceuitical industry, right? Agency capture is a real thing, folks.
  • Well what really gets me is I understand the position of senator Josh Hawley why doesn't the CEO have to appear at the same time that these whistleblowers are ousting them for not building airplanes the right way or jets the right way why don't we have the CEOs there so we can watch the expressions of their faces when somebody comes in and tells him exactly what they're doing on their line production and their should be some kind of reparation for this man so where if he's fired let go or anything else that the airline has to pay him at least 5 to 10 million dollars because they got rid of a whistleblower even though I understand that would be my waste of my tax dollars because quite frankly we keep these airlines going with our tax dollars
