  • In an exclusive interview with Lester Holt, FAA administrator Michael Whitaker says he believes Boeing is more focused on production than safety amid recent issues with their planes. “There’s nothing wrong with production, but it has to follow safety. Safety and quality has to be the foundation of all of the actors in aerospace system,” he says. NBC’s Tom Costello reports for TODAY.

    • @RobertJohnson-hp4gz

      The amount of incidents and victims they’ve collected from over the years is disturbing, every time they were ultimately allowed to continue production/flying, with a simple promise they’ll be “safer” next time. Our government leaders are literally allowing this because downing Boeings nationwide would hurt the airline industry financially so our lives are worth the risk to them.

      Boeing is the latest target of Joe, Barry and the left, since China is now making a knock off of the 737. What better way to destroy the USA, take down one of the most important companies that exports lots of planes. This is why you are hearing all the negative news about Boeing, even the ridiculous info about a Boeing plane going through an air pocket and descending rapidly, as if that only happened to planes made by Boeing. There's a good chance that Boeing parts are being sabotaged by paid off workers in the various plants. The Chinese, for the most part build garbage, and airplanes need to be perfect, good isn't good enough. The engines are especially hard to manufacture, and the Chinese engines will fail, then you're a passenger on a really big glider.

    Boeing outsourced EVERYTHING. Financial leaders, concerned w/ profit. Almost two weeks after the Alaska Airlines blow-out, it was revealed that the door plug that blew out of the Alaska Airlines plane wasn’t actually produced in Wichita. It was produced in Malaysia, where workers’ concerns about speed of production and quality oversight are appt to have even less impact on their managers than in the United States.
    The fact that the Malaysian production of the door plug didn’t come to light until 12 days after the blow-out suggests just how profoundly outsourcing can obscure the public visibility required for corporate a

That company was looked at as a Top Tier 8-9 yrs ago. Building aircraft has to be a career not a job.
