A Boeing quality engineer went public Tuesday with damaging allegations that the jet-maker took manufacturing shortcuts to increase production rates that leave potentially serious structural flaws on its 787 and 777 widebody planes.
The Boeing engineer, Sam Salehpour, alleged that almost 1,000 787s and about 400 777s currently flying are at risk of premature fatigue damage and structural failure.
Dudes got some balls after what happened to the last guy
Suicide by employer
He will probably soon die from a car crash or suicide by 54 shots in the back of the head
I really hope he has a plan to stay safe and also has a document saved with multiple people in the event of an ‘unforseen sudden death’.
God dammit dude why did this have to be the year that I’m doing a lot of flying
Stop flying a lot. Jesus, you do realize the harm you’re causing the climate?!?
We need a frequent flyler tax ffs
ruckblack isn’t the problem unless he flies a private jet.
Both of those groups are the problem.
I, for one, recommend the frequent flyler tax. Absolutlely.
Is that taxing people who frequently file their taxes while flying?
I said “this year”, and I’m flying 4 times. Lots of people who need to travel for work do more than that in a month. Relax.
If it’s Boeing, I ain’t going.
'member when 747 was shorthand for any commercial passenger jet?
the enshitification will continue until profits improve
You know they could just bring back the 747 and make a bunch of those but new. And have less problems?
they’d still find ways to reduce production costs and increase risk to passengers
