Another one: Second Boeing whistleblower says he faced retaliation for reporting 'shortcuts'
Longtime Boeing engineer Sam Salehpour went public this week with alarming claims about two of the company's jets, including the 787 Dreamliner. In a virtual meeting with reporters, Salehpour said Boeing was so eager to meet its production goals...

I survived, travel crystal in my backpack. Speaking of airlines, United makes it near impossible to use credit for a cancelled trip. They limit flights on which it can be used (most probably do that). For a domestic flight the equivalent of a mere 16-hour drive, to use my credit, they jacked up the total cost to >$2100. It was one third cheaper to lose the credit and take another airline (though two of four legs were on a Boeing).Send a little prayer my way, I'll be on a Boeing 737-900 twin-jet on Sunday.

The parts continue to fall off those Boeings, this time the emergency slide from a 767... How the heck do you lose that if you're not even supposed to deploy it mid-air and it should be tucked away nicely in the fuselage somewhere?

Hmm, just saw that while browsing
Whistleblowers in Boeing case tend to die lately ... however from the symptoms description could it be due to vaccine injury? The coincidence is still pretty troubling ...

After reading an article about 10 new Boeing whistleblowers, I read the comments. One of the commentors said to search Boeing and the Clintons so I did. When searching on Brave Boeing + Clinton here's what I found:

Anyway, I found the Boeing/Clinton connection interesting.
There's more, but I had a problem with the copy/paste thing.

Geez, what could go wrong with this, I wonder?
Do ya think the the two veteran NASA astronauts will survive to get their retirement pensions?
Stay tuned, and “wait and see” I guess.
Boeing's new Starliner astronaut capsule was poised for a Monday night launch of its long-delayed inaugural crewed test flight to the International Space Station, two years after its first voyage without humans to the orbital laboratory.
The gumdrop-shaped CST-100 Starliner with two astronauts aboard was due for liftoff at 10:34 p.m. from NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida, carried atop an Atlas V rocket furnished by the Boeing-Lockheed Martin joint venture United Launch Alliance (ULA).
Riding aboard the Starliner, designed to carry up to seven crew members, are veteran NASA astronauts Barry "Butch" Wilmore, 61, a retired U.S. Navy captain, and Sunita "Sunni" Williams, 58, a former Navy aviator and test pilot.

Boeing's new Starliner capsule set for first crewed flight to space station
CAPE CANAVERAL, FLA. -Boeing's new Starliner astronaut capsule was poised for a Monday night launch of its long-delayed inaugural crewed test flight to the International Space Station, two years after its first voyage without humans to the orbital laboratory.

Psst! Keep quiet. If you blow the whistle before takeoff, the bolts might come off. We don't want this thing to go "boing-boing" in front of the Russians. C'mon 'Murica, our pensions are rocket fuel. Time to $hine!
Yes, I've been thinking the same thing.
I watch a few videos on what's going on in the spaceflight field and Boeing has had problems with the Starliner capsule. Two noted things were problems with the re-entry parachutes and a problem with tape they were using to tape the wiring down. It was flammable. Sheesh. I hope those that fly in this thing don't come to a bad end.
Yes, I know. Finding the Clintons' involvement with Boeing makes it even more likely that they were "suicided". I haven't seen anyone else make the connection between Boeing and the Clintons, though. I wouldn't have if I had not re4ad what that commenter posted.

I just remembered seeing this 1hr documentary about problems with the production quality of the Boeing 787 that was released by Al Jazeera almost ten years ago now...
Given the length of time all of this takes to be investigated, I think we will be seeing Boeing planes (and their crew and passengers) getting in trouble a lot in the coming years. They must've been cutting corners for decades at this point, subcontracting who knows what to the cheapest bidder, exploiting their regulatory capture of the FAA. And all those planes are still out there.

I remember that one because of reading this article about the 787 on sott the other day:
www.sott.net
The documentary I linked above goes in to the regulatory capture and Boeings political connections from about 37:09 minutes onwards for about five minutes. Hillary is in there too, brokering a $3.7B deal for Boeing. I think the intimate relationship of Boeing and the US government is very well depicted there, and given that all of that was ten years ago or more, one can only imagine the current state of affairs.

If one travel in first class, and the airplane has a problem, one will suffer the same as in second class, so DEI of them.
Is it on purpose to delay the installation?
REVEALED: 300 Boeing planes used by United and American Airlines have potentially fatal fault that could cause jets to EXPLODE mid-air - in latest blow for scandal-hit company
Is it on purpose to delay the installation?
REVEALED: 300 Boeing planes used by United and American Airlines have potentially fatal fault that could cause jets to EXPLODE mid-air - in latest blow for scandal-hit company
Discovery of the flaw exposes that nearly 300 more Boeing planes are potentially at risk, including jets used by United and American Airlines, according the notice by the Federal Aviation Administration.
The FAA reported the issue in March and ordered Boeing to respond by May 9, but it remains unclear if the company has done so.
DailyMail.com has approached both Boeing and the FAA for comment.
A spokesperson for Boeing emphasized that the FAA's March 25, 2024 notice was for a 'proposed rulemaking,' seeking comment from Boeing before the federal agency would formally mandate any proposed fix to its 777 series of commercial jets.
It is just the latest major safety warning to be directed at the scandal-hit company by regulators — as multiple models of Boeing passenger jets have face door plug blowouts, mid-air engine fires, and two deadly crasheswhich killed 346 people.
This little seen FAA 'airworthiness directive' proposal has warned Boeing of an 'electrostatic discharge,' or static electricity risk, near the center-wing fuel tanks on the 777, which the FAA advised could result in 'an ignition source inside the fuel tank and subsequent fire or explosion'
In this March 2024 airworthiness directive (AD) proposal, the FAA warned Boeing of an 'electrostatic discharge,' or static electricity risk, near the center-wing fuel tanks.
'The unsafe condition, if not addressed, could result in an ignition source inside the fuel tank,' the FAA said, 'and subsequent fire or explosion.'
The FAA projected that the safety fix would cost Boeing — whose market cap is $113.53 billion as of this writing — less than $698,000 to correct for all of the 292 vulnerable Boeing 777 aircraft listed within the US registry.
And the parts required to remove these 'static electricity'-based explosion risks, according to the federal agency, would only cost $98 for each Boeing 777.
The FAA specifically requested that new 'electrical bonding' and 'grounding' be installed to prevent short circuiting or 'electrostatic discharge' around an air intake system near the 777's center-wing fuel tanks.
