https://www.businessinsider.com/boeing-whistleblower-777-787-plane-safety-production-2024-4Another Boeing whistleblower has come forward with concerns over one of the planemaker's family of passenger jetliners, pointing to safety concerns in at least 1,400 widebody airplanes.In a January complaint to aviation regulators that was publicly released for the first time on Tuesday, Sam Salehpour, who claims to be a veteran Boeing employee and 40-year aerospace engineer, said parts of the Boeing 787 Dreamliner and the Boeing 777 were misaligned during assembly and could pose safety threats.The New York Times first reported his allegations on Tuesday.Through lawyers, Salehpour said he observed problems during his work on both programs and documented his concerns in order to send them to the FAA and Boeing leadership.He said employees were pressured to "overlook" the concerns in what he described as a "schedule over safety" culture, which he claimed affects more than 1,000 Dreamliners and at least 400 777s.Regarding the 787, Salehpour said he observed "shortcuts employed by Boeing to reduce bottlenecks during the 787 assembly process," including placing "excessive stress on major airplane joints" and leaving drilling debris between certain key joints.This could "significantly" reduce the lifespan of the plane due to metal fatigue and cause an accident, Salehpour said in a Tuesday call with journalists.Salehpour also raised flags about the 777, saying in his complaint that a redesign of the jet's assembly process to speed up production used "unmeasured and unlimited" force to get the fuselage to fit together."I literally saw people jumping on the pieces of the airplane to get them to align," he told the media in a press conference on Tuesday. He noted his concerns about the 787 and 777 airplanes were backed by Boeing data but that his complaints were ignored.The complaint is under investigation, the FAA told to BI.
Salehpour will also testify before a Senate subcommittee on April 17, the Times reported.Boeing has backed its widebodies despite the whistleblower complaint, telling BI in an email statement on Tuesday that Salehpour's allegations are not representative of the work it has done to "ensure the quality and long-term safety of the aircraft.""The issues raised have been subject to rigorous engineering examination under FAA oversight," Boeing said of the 787. "This analysis has validated that these issues do not present any safety concerns, and the aircraft will maintain its service life over several decades."Boeing said the 787 can fly for more than 30 years before it needs heavy maintenance to extend its life and that it is fully confident in the safety of its in-production and in-service Dreamliners."Based on the previous fuselage testing up to 165,000 cycles and Boeing's extensive data gathering, testing, modeling, and analysis from 2020 to today — shared transparently with the FAA — Boeing currently expects these issues will not change or affect the expected lifespan of the 787 fuselages," Boeing said.The 787 has long been plagued by manufacturing issuesThe complaints come after years of production issues on the 787, which led to a 15-month halt in airplane deliveries due to a series of production flaws, including the gaps mentioned by Salehpour.The Boeing 787 is the company's best-selling widebody jetliner and is favorable for its different variants that come in three sizes — small, medium, and large — all with varying ranges and capacities. It is one of Boeing's biggest cash cows.
The allegations will also likely not help Boeing escape heightened scrutiny about its quality control after a door plug on an Alaska Airlines 737 Max 9 fell off mid-flight."I'm not doing this not because I want Boeing to fail, but because I want it to succeed and prevent crashes from happening," Salehpour said. "The truth is Boeing can't keep on the way it is; it needs to do a little bit better."
that other ''suicide'' guy told his friend that he wouldn't suicide.He did this because he planned to suicide all a long. He then practiced shooting him self in the back of the head with a soft shell toy gun.Then he did the real thing.Question: Why was there gunpowder residue on his hands?No, the hit person did not spray residue on his hands, easily detected.
It's over. Boeing is finished.
>>1285896 Boeing Boing pong THey dropped the ball
>>1285886yea im sure.. just like another dead Obama worker... All these poor accidents...
Chuds will blame this on wokeness instead of capitalism.
>>1286003They would rather the entire world burn down so they can blame it on the left/socialism/communism/Marxism/wokeness/CRT/whatever buzzword they're using today than lift a finger to try to actually fix thingsThey're suicidally devoted to the cult of capitalism
>>1286007To be fair, they don't actually like capitalism anymore. Turns out, they only liked it because they were winning. Suddenly when the Woke groups started making money, the credit card industries abused their low IQ and the medical industry stopped catering to their fired alligator diets...then all of a sudden capitalism became a problem.
>>1286009It's not real capitalism, lumpenfag.
>>1286009Nah, they're still devoted. They've been conditioned for so long they're incapable of even criticizing corporations over anything more substantial than having a brown family or a trans person in their ads. And even then they get distracted by whatever shiny object the corporations dangle in front of them and move on within a month.That's why multinational conglomerates have started targeting minority/ left leaning demographics exclusively. They know the chuds will stay loyal and even defend them no matter what they do.>>1286016>It's not real capitalism! Real capitalism has never been tried.I actually loled
>>1286016>It's not capitalism when I don't benefit over it.I'm an actual capitalist though.>>1286019Nah it's basically fascism now. They get upset when businesses fire them. They get upset when social media doesn't want racists on their social media. They get upset when businesses put black mermaids in their movies. They punish companies for hiring foreign workers. They attack companies over "degeneracy". They support banning apartments from their towns. Every time s woman is successful, it's because "she fucked a bunch of workers". Every time an ethic person is successful, it's because they are "a diversity hire". Chuds only support capitalism as long as it supports their fascist agenda.
>>128601940% of boeing's budget is from government subsidies. Sounds more like boeing was disencitivized from competitive business practices due to socialism.
>>1286021>Socialism is when you give businesses money
>>1286023It's called corporate socialism, but that's what neoliberals, the people you're aligned with, have mobilized retards like (You) to support.It's definitely not Real Capitalism™.
>>1286025>It's called corporate socialismNo. It isn't. You're thinking of corporate welfare. Aka crony capitalism.
> Salehpour 777 What Aleister Crowley shit's this?
>>1286034Governmental administration of the means of production is by definition socialist economic policy. In this instance the government administers the allocation of funding. The outcome is a diminished capital motive for boeing and subsequent quality failure. The culprit is socialism.
>>1286049>It's socialism's fault Boeing cut corners and delivered dangerously low quality products! No corporation would ever cut corners in a FREE MARKET, it was that filthy government money that made them do it! This is what I mean. Their conditioning is so deeply ingrained that even when they run to defend the billion dollar megacorps, in their minds they're still anti-globalists.The mere fact that government exists allows them to absolve the holy corporations of all sin. If we just got rid of all government and every other economic model, we would usher in paradise on earth under the benevolent rule of the capitalists.Praise be unto the free market.
>>1286058>no argument I accept your concession
>>1286049>Governmental administration of the means of production is by definition socialist economic policy.It's not though. Anarcho-Socialism exists. Socialism is just when the people own businesses. It has serious problems but you wouldn't get it if you think "giving money to rich people" is socialism
>>1286060>no argument To what? There hasn't been a debate, it's just been you regurgitating the same "Everything bad is socialism, everything good is capitalism " talking points that get drilled into every American's mind from the time they're old enough to comprehend language.
>>1286021The Airline industry wouldn't exist at all without some sort of subsidies. 99.999% of people don't have the money to make start up a major airport and even if they did, no one's would risk their billions attempting one.
>>1286058Socialists are the wealth equivalent of incels.
>>1285870Heard on the radio earlier,Poor bastard is going to kill himself with two bullets to the back of his head soon. >Obligatory,>If it’s Boeing, I ain’t going!
>>1286061>Socialism is just when the people own businesses. Not according to any actual definition. "People own businesses" under capitalism. You have a fundamental lack of understanding on the subject.
>>1286062>still no argument You're just babbling incoherently my dude.
>>1286064Not a refutation to anything I've said. Try forming a counterpoint.
>>1286077And whatever Boeing's PR team pays you is too much.
>>1286076>Socialism is a political and economic philosophy that involves social ownership of the means of production. It's based on the idea that public ownership of resources and production leads to a more equal societyIt has nothing to do with government. Read a book.
