    Years after nearly 350 died in two crashes.. boy they are really on top of this..
  • @MrSesmith11
    A corporate giant concerned with profit over safety? No?
  • @Sherri-Parks
    Boeing's new motto: 'Fly now, repair later!' 😅

    A lot of the more recent issues are from maintenance by the airlines not Boeing. Unless a plane is brand new and has a problem, the maintenance crews and their rules of management are the larger issue.
  • READ CRIGHTON'S BOOK "AIRFRAME" IS ABOUT THIS STUFF!!! HE PREDICTED TO HIS WOULD HAPPEN!!! 😵😵😵😵😵😵😵
  • What safety culture? Boeing is about growing profits, not safety. If you want safety, go rent a rubber room. You wanna punish Boeing for breaking the law, ill support you, But if you wamt safety your tripping on the good Bogota because it doesnt exist.

  • @Nuevaplaza
    Crazy how this news isn’t pushed but stuff like diddyy is 😂😂
  • My cousin Ernie served during the Korean War in the USAF as a maintenance crewman training Japanese to work on aircraft..He worked continuously on B -52s on the Electronic Warfare Systems...he worked for Boeing through retirement..he held a GS rating till the day he died...He always loved propulsion too..He messaged me flying to New Zealand on a Boeing aircraft while I sat close to the wing..listening and watching things..I served in the USAF too..on Armament Systems..I marveled at the power and range...talked to Ernie till my phone was out of range...all of this has him rolling in his grave...safety of all aboard is job#1. Reliability, Safety, Performance goes hand to hand. Heads should roll. I say bring back Boeing's domestic competition..maybe less would produce near perfection..McDonnell Douglas..Lockheed/Martin.. Whatever does the trick...Boeing isn't going right...

    I spent 30 years working for McDonnell Douglas/Boeing. I saw at lot of stuff including senior management creating there own processes for doing things. If you challenged them they would make your life miserable. They pushed to meet scheduling. They preached safety to there employees but would put thin in awkward positions to get them to meet scheduling. Not always but I saw it.
