Boeing Safety Issues

Big deal. It's Boeing's fault. Maybe they and the airlines shouldn't have defrauded the public and regulators. If they hadn't, this would indeed be in the background noise.

I'm worried about boarding any Boeing aircraft at this point. The revelations paint a picture of an engineering culture deep into the normalization of deviance [1].[1] https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Professionalism/Diane_Vaughan_...

We know that Boeing has a lot of Q&A problems with these planes and are taking all kinds of shortcuts. It seems the blame should be placed squarely on Boeing.

You are inverting cause and consequence. It's because Boeing has had so many failures that it has come under particular scrutiny. Failures which, from a statistical point of view, suggest that there may be a cause to look for. Other companies do not have as many (and as basic) problems.

I spoke to someone who works there about a year ago.I was trying to gauge how an insider viewed the Max problem related to the auto trim issue which caused two airplanes [1][2] to crash, killing 346 people. This was shortly after watching the documentary Downfall: The Case Against Boeing [3].The ignorance and non acceptance of fault made me cringe. I won't go into the details, but this wasn't a freak accident this was due to human decisions. They cut corners on how to modify an a

Absolutely. That's why I said Boeing and the FAA failed their responsibility as opposed to a Boeing exec or a particular legislator - there are organizational, structural problems. Sure, some individuals made the decision to ignore reports or set a new culture, but the fact that they succeeded is concerning - why did everyone else enable them? Is there anything we could have done to encourage those engineers to whistleblow their concerns before the planes crashed? Would they have been taken

Should've considered it sooner. Their problems didn't start with the door plug fault -- "Why is Boeing such a shitty corporation?" https://robertreich.substack.com/p/why-is-boeing-such-a-shit...

Unfortunately no.He now adopted the "admit the problem and fix it" attitude because he was "caught", before that was business as usual for Boeing. It was/is more a "don't ask, don't tell", dump the risk on other separate entities/companies and cross your fingers because we need to get those planes out of the assembly line as fast and cheaply as possible no matter what.Boeing is and has been under pressure, but it's their own fault. The

Right now Boeing gets much more attention on anything that goes bad.Can't but say the company brought it on themselves.That being said that was a noteworthy incident regardless.

FAA, US Govt, and Boeing will continue to dig their heads deeper into the sand because Boeing is basically an arm of US policy at this point and the US Govt at this time will never admit to or show any weakness5 months ago when the Lion Air crash happened, an HN commenter ridiculed me for saying Boeing made a crappy design choice to automate what pilots already did manually, without telling the pilots. The HN commenter basically said "we here at Boeing are working hard, how dare you"
