Delbow Posted June 1 Share Posted June 1 Things are looking less than good at Boeing. This article contains allegations from its mechanics that they are being pressured by managers to cover up safety concerns. The company is facing several lawsuits and regulatory action because of its apparent / alleged cost cutting impacting safety - safety having historically been the central priority of the aviation industry. Several employees have blown the whistle on this in the US. One recently died after a short illness and another accidentally blew his own brains out while shaving Something seems seriously wrong with this company.

It was a reference to the Blackadder episode where Baldrick becomes the one voter in a rotten borough after the previous voter 'accidentally cut his head off while shaving', i.e. is bumped off.

Union-busting in an industry where safety is paramount is beyond comprehension and shows a total disregard for passengers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the latest in a long list of problems with Starliner Surprisingly, Boeing's share price has held up fairly well - someone should short them.
