No big deal... just 7,000 jets need retrofitting due to a flaw which caused a death on a Southwest Airlines 737-700 last year.

This comes after the 737 Max planes were grounded after two major crashes which were related to bad design.
What a clusterfuck this once-respected company has become.
Sadly I have a long flight booked (round trip) on a Boeing in 2020. Fortunately it's not a 737.
I fly on Boeing almost weekly and have no qualms doing so. Flying on a 737-500 tonight
Company has a solid history, stock is up 10% this past month. Will get back to its high next year most likely.
Clusterfuck is a over exaggeration.
Boeing straight up murdering whistleblowers

Someone say “murder”?
The endless millions this defense contractor funneled into her “foundation” - she should take the job pro bono
Tbf i didn't read the link but is there anyone who really believes that Boeing would murder whistleblowers.Originally Posted by gauchojake
Here's what happened, a suicidAL disgruntled whistleblower wants to call attention to boeing so he decided to announce he's not suicidal to anyone and everyone
before commiting suicide. Figure it out.
I missed the northern lights (except for a very weak version of it in LA) thanks to Boeing.
I tried to book flights to Seattle or Vancouver, but all flights were on Boeing.
Even worse, almost all of them were on 737 MAX or 737-900. Both have had all kinds of problems.
Fuck that shit.
There were a few 737-800 flights but they were way too expensive to be worth it. It's amazing how much cheaper flights are if they're on a 737-900 or 737 MAX. Supply/demand theory takes over, and it basically becomes a risk-your-life discount.
The right is claiming it's a DEI thing, but that's only partially true. The DEI stuff at Boeing is just a symptom of a greater problem there -- a large, longstanding company which became overly bureaucratic and thought they were too big to fail.
Whether they're murdering whistleblowers is up for debate, but it's not far fetched. Remember, eBay was recently found to have been guilty of terrorizing a Massachusetts couple from across the country (and even traveling there to physically stalk them) because they ran a lightly-viewed blog which was critical of the company. Imagine what a big corporation would do to a whisteblower who massively hurt them.
The other day I was watching documentary about the Boeing that disappeared over the Phillepines. Gave three scenarios. Either faulty equipment with decompression air, terrorists there where 2 passengers they couldn't identify or pilot suicide. Pieces of the plane washed up but plane itself was never found
Imagine how the crew of Boeing's new Starliner must feel.
Hmm all this madness , surely private equity isn't involved in Boeing.
OMG Boeing is private equity city.
There are so many private equity vultures feeding on the corpse of Boeing, too many to post but to get to the root cause of the current debacle.

This merger led to conflicts between Boeing's dedicated engineers and MD's savvy finance and marketing executives. As the board of the merged company began to favor promising financial projections, Boeing underwent a transformation into a lean organization. A bold step was taken in 2005 when Spirit Aero in Wichita, Kansas, was divested by Boeing and sold to private equity investors to enhance financial performance.
Boeing's shift from an engineering focus to a finance focus led to a change in priorities. Business performance measures such as return on assets, cost reduction, and time-to-market began to take precedence over engineering designs, production process designs, and supplier management. This finance-oriented mindset significantly influenced the development approach for Boeing's 787 Dreamliner and 737 Max.
Remember the golden rule.
