Saved, to glorify God.
Sabotage I bet.
I had a strong gut feeling this story had legs. This could be huge!
I don't think that's true at all...“In an event like this, it’s normal for the DOJ to be conducting an investigation. We are fully cooperating and do not believe we are a target of the investigation,” Alaska Airlines said.
You are correct.I don't think that's true at all...
DEI hires longer term will get kicked off or will get put in roles that are minimum wage and non harming to the enterprise.If it was Sabotage by enemies of this nation,
especially if they were brought into the Boeing workforce
Under a DEI program to hire people with obvious ( to conservatives) conflicting and dangerous agendas and hired regardless of their religious or political loyalties, then the deep state government has a big interest in covering up the whole mess.
These enemies of the American people could be sabotaging anything they have access to. Adulterating our food, sabotaging, or setting fire to manufacturing plants, airline or train operations etc.
Except, I think, a lot of the present DEI hires are the people now doing the hiring in the HR department. ( Personal dept in my time - showing my age)DEI hires longer term will get kicked off or will get put in roles that are minimum wage and non harming to the enterprise.
And now those folks are getting gone as they keep screwing up.Except, I think, a lot of the present DEI hires are the people now doing the hiring in the HR department. ( Personal dept in my time - showing my age)
Boy, do I hope you are correct!!And now those folks are getting gone as they keep screwing up.
This may be related to my earlier post. It might be that Spirit opened the door, in which case Boeing might have no record. Alternatively, each company thought the other one recorded it. Ahh, Boeing data. It's a rabbit hole.“We likewise have shared with the N.T.S.B. what became our working hypothesis: that the documents required by our processes were not created when the door plug was opened,” the Boeing letter obtained by the Times reads. “If that hypothesis is correct, there would be no documentation to produce.”
Seems to me there are two parts of this issue.Records should list the specific employee who performed the work and the tasks performed. Boeing quality control would also need to confirm in the record that the repair work was inspected and the fault was resolved.
I bet it took five corporate lawyers to concoct that bowl of word salad?LATAM Airlines said in a statement that there was "a technical event during the flight which caused a strong movement." It didn't elaborate on what happened.
Instrument panel went black!What does 'technical event' causing a 'strong movement' even mean, except that it's not good?
Microsoft decided that was the moment to start installing an update.What does 'technical event' causing a 'strong movement' even mean
Grandma sez-Maybe this thread should be renamed to reflect on the woes of Boeing in general, it just doesn't end with their issues.

Sydney — At least 50 people were injured Monday by what officials described as a "strong movement" on a Chilean plane traveling from Sydney to Auckland, New Zealand.
LATAM Airlines said in a statement that there was "a technical event during the flight which caused a strong movement." It didn't elaborate on what happened.
Passengers were met by paramedics when the flight touched down in Auckland.
About 50 people were treated at the scene for mostly mild injuries, with 13 taken to a hospital, an ambulance spokesperson said.
One patient was believed to be in serious condition.
Passengers said a number of people were not wearing seatbelts when flight LA800 suddenly dropped.
The Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner landed at Auckland Airport as scheduled and was due to continue on to Santiago, Chile.
"LATAM regrets the inconvenience and injury this situation may have caused its passengers, and reiterates its commitment to safety as a priority within the framework of its operational standards," the airline said.
What does 'technical event' causing a 'strong movement' even mean, except that it's not good?
And somehow the 'Free Palestine' gang thinks Boeing is gonna change things?

Boeing whistleblower found dead in US

A former Boeing employee known for raising concerns about the firm's production standards has been found dead in the US.
John Barnett had worked for Boeing for 32 years, until his retirement in 2017.
In the days before his death, he had been giving evidence in a whistleblower lawsuit against the company.
Boeing said it was saddened to hear of Mr Barnett's passing. The Charleston County coroner confirmed his death to the BBC on Monday.
It said the 62-year-old had died from a "self-inflicted gunshot wound" on 9 March and police were investigating.
Mr Barnett had worked for the US plane giant for 32 years, until his retirement in 2017 on health grounds.
From 2010, he worked as a quality manager at the North Charleston plant making the 787 Dreamliner, a state-of-the-art airliner used mainly on long-haul routes.
In 2019, Mr Barnett told the BBC that under-pressure workers had been deliberately fitting sub-standard parts to aircraft on the production line.
He also said he had uncovered serious problems with oxygen systems, which could mean one in four breathing masks would not work in an emergency.
He said soon after starting work in South Carolina he had become concerned that the push to get new aircraft built meant the assembly process was rushed and safety was compromised, something the company denied.

He later told the BBC that workers had failed to follow procedures intended to track components through the factory, allowing defective components to go missing.
He said in some cases, sub-standard parts had even been removed from scrap bins and fitted to planes that were being built to prevent delays on the production line.
He also claimed that tests on emergency oxygen systems due to be fitted to the 787 showed a failure rate of 25%, meaning that one in four could fail to deploy in a real-life emergency.
Mr Barnett said he had alerted managers to his concerns, but no action had been taken.
Boeing denied his assertions. However, a 2017 review by the US regulator, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), did uphold some of Mr Barnett's concerns.
It established that the location of at least 53 "non-conforming" parts in the factory was unknown, and that they were considered lost. Boeing was ordered to take remedial action.
On the oxygen cylinders issue, the company said that in 2017 it had "identified some oxygen bottles received from the supplier that were not deploying properly". But it denied that any of them were actually fitted on aircraft.
After retiring, he embarked on a long-running legal action against the company.
He accused it of denigrating his character and hampering his career because of the issues he pointed out - charges rejected by Boeing.
At the time of his death, Mr Barnett had been in Charleston for legal interviews linked to that case.
Last week, he gave a formal deposition in which he was questioned by Boeing's lawyers, before being cross-examined by his own counsel.
He had been due to undergo further questioning on Saturday. When he did not appear, enquiries were made at his hotel.
He was subsequently found dead in his truck in the hotel car park.
Speaking to the BBC, his lawyer described his death as "tragic".
In a statement Boeing said: "We are saddened by Mr. Barnett's passing, and our thoughts are with his family and friends."
His death comes at a time when production standards at both Boeing and its key supplier Spirit Aerosystems are under intense scrutiny.
This follows an incident in early January when an unused emergency exit door blew off a brand-new Boeing 737 Max shortly after take-off from Portland International Airport.
A preliminary report from the US National Transportation Safety Board suggested that four key bolts, designed to hold the door securely in place, were not fitted.
Last week, the FAA said a six-week audit of the company had found "multiple instances where the company allegedly failed to comply with manufacturing quality control requirements".
Because we want to know exactly what he told his family and friends, and whether there are any documents unaccounted for.Boeing said: "We are saddened by Mr. Barnett's passing, and our thoughts are with his family and friends."
Boeing DEI approved electronics tech. new hire maybe!Grandma sez-
"Strong movement" or airplanes suddenly dropping sometimes up to hundreds of feet is an occasional atmospheric condition with no warning. Its why you should ALWAYS wear you seat belt when flying, when not going potty, So you don't break your neck on the CEILING OF THE CABIN when it happens. It's bad enough for your laptop to knock you teeth out, or your hand fly up
and punch your eye.
UPDATE: It wasn't a natural atmospheric phenomena!
The latest story says the Pilot claims his instument panel went out and the plane went into a dive then the panel suddenly came back on!
And the 738 max 9 issue males sense now and if this comes out as being part of the issue a bunch of folks are in deep do dooThere is no such thing as a coincidence,

Boeing Whistleblower Found Dead in Charleston After Break in Depositions
By Editor Filed in Uncategorized March 10th, 2024 @ 12:52 pm
Boeing whistleblower John Barnett was found dead in his truck at a hotel in Charleston, South Carolina after a break in depositions in a whistleblower retaliation lawsuit.
That’s according to Barnett’s lawyer Brian Knowles.
In an email to Corporate Crime Reporter, Knowles wrote that Barnett “was supposed to do day three of his deposition here in Charleston on his AIR21 case.” (AIR21 refers to a federal law that provides whistleblower protection for employees in the aviation industry.)
“Today is a tragic day,” Knowles wrote. “John had been back and forth for quite some time getting prepared. The defense examined him for their allowed seven hours under the rules on Thursday. I cross examined him all day yesterday (Friday) and did not finish. We agreed to continue this morning at 10 a.m. (co-counsel) Rob (Turkewitz) kept calling this morning and his (Barnett’s) phone would go to voicemail. We then asked the hotel to check on him. They found him in his truck dead from an ‘alleged’ self-inflicted gunshot. We drove to the hotel and spoke with the police and the coroner.”
For almost three decades, John Barnett was a quality manager at Boeing.
For 28 of those years, he was with Boeing in Everett, Washington.
Barnett loved Boeing. He loved Boeing planes. He loved his work.
Then in 2010, Barnett was transferred to Boeing’s new plant in Charleston, South Carolina.
That’s where Boeing builds the 787 Dreamliner.
And things started going downhill.
“The new leadership didn’t understand processes,” Barnett told Corporate Crime Reporter in an interview in 2019. (See — John Barnett on Why He Won’t Fly on a Boeing 787 Dreamliner, (Corporate Crime Reporter, November 29, 2019). “They brought them in from other areas of the company. The new leadership team – from my director down – they all came from St. Louis, Missouri. They said they were all buddies there.”
“That entire team came down. They were from the military side. My impression was their mindset was – we are going to do it the way we want to do it. Their motto at the time was – we are in Charleston and we can do anything we want.”
“They started pressuring us to not document defects, to work outside the procedures, to allow defective material to be installed without being corrected. They started bypassing procedures and not maintaining configurement control of airplanes, not maintaining control of non conforming parts – they just wanted to get the planes pushed out the door and make the cash register ring.”
Barnett had been speaking to reporters recently about Boeing production issues, including the incident involving the mid-air blow out of a door plug on an Alaska Airlines flight on January 5, causing decompression of the airplane.
“Once you understand what’s happening inside of Boeing, you’ll see why we’re seeing these kinds of issues,” Barnett told ABC News in Australia in late January.

Anybody know if Bill and Hillary own Boeing stock?It is VERY highly suspicious for a whistleblower in the middle of his testamony to commit "suicide."
The FBI should take over this investigtion IMMEDIATELY!
It is going to be the height of entertainment seeing just how deep a hole Boeing will dig themselves into.zerohedge
@zerohedge
First the whistleblower, now the footage
Who "kills themselves" next?
