They fricking lie. Blame it on the inspectors and technicians instead of their bullshite culture that perpetuates the problem.

I was on an investigation board after Columbia…they blamed the technicians who took the molds off. fricking idiots. Next flight…came off again.

Another HUGE story with Boeing that nobody is talking about…it’s their very recent decision to outsource ALL of their Site Service personnel at 65 sites to a company called JLL. HVAC, Plumbers, Electricians…all gone!! This isn’t going over well at within the company. Employees are absolutely pissed. Boeing already has a crisis in the skies…and now they’re going to have a crisis on the ground as their Facilities fall apart due to shitty maintenance. One of the main reasons…DEI…Boeing has been trying to Diversify their Site Service personnel big time, but they have ran into a brick wall due to the certifications and experience needed to be an HVAC Tech, Electrician or Plumber…so Boeing said if we can’t Diversify that dept…then outsource them. 90% of those impacted…White men!!! Truly remarkable what is happening with Boeing…sad

Pencil whipping started in Napolean's army the day after Conte invented the pencil. I wouldn't be surprised if it led to the loss of the Hundred Days war 20 years later, well that and the time-honored tradition of sleeping on fire watch the two together are the biggest causes of all the problems in the world.

Boeing has hired Hillary’s security team. If I worked there I’d look for another job stat.

They were great when they opened. The problem is the veteran employees they brought in from elsewhere started retiring and the new group 1. Shouldn’t be there in the first place, 2. Aren’t trained for shite and 3. Aren’t held to high standards.

Ultimately the root cause is HQ and the Harvard business grads thinking that their classroom training in shite level economics remotely prepares them for leading an aeronautical company. Like someone else said, those people have their place, but they should be working around what the engineers and manufacturing tell them they need instead of dictating what the engineers and manufacturing have to work with. But that’s a problem with a lot of companies. The bean counters, the “maximizing shareholder value-types, and the DEI Disciples of Doom have destroyed dozens of companies and will continue to do so.

My father was a flight safety director for the Army. One night when I was home from Auburn for the summer he took me to a hanger on Ft. Rucker after midnight. I was told to watch the mechanics in the hanger so they didn't leave. He went to the flight line and found two mechanics sleeping in the helicopters.

The incident reports pointed to routine maintenance that wasn't being done. Needless to say, those aircraft mechanics were unemployed after that.

I think Boeing will be on the road to a comeback after this. The corporate leadership that let it slide has their heads on the chopping block.

Newly found conspiracy theory. They are using this to normalize issues with planes. Trumps plane is a Boeing 757. How easy would it be to have an issue with his plane happen right before the election.

Crappy reporting in order to give a false impression.

The records weren’t falsified on a total of 787 planes.

They were falsified on a few model 787 planes.

Big difference, but it still shouldn’t happen

Ah, the age old magic pencil whip. It’s the go-to tool for lazy bastards for centuries.



The most efficient tool known to engineering and QA professionals globally is the #2 Ticonderoga....that thing will correct all manner of ill shite. It'd be impossible to design and build anything without a healthy application of a #2 Ticonderoga. It's better than bailing wire and duct tape....
