Michael Ramirez for March 18, 2024

John Burnett is the Boeing whistleblower that was found dead from a “self-inflicted” gunshot wound, the coroner’s office told the BBC. Police are still investigating the death.

He claimed that employees at its South Carolina plant frequently fitted substandard parts on planes and also says he reported faulty oxygen systems that could result in oxygen masks not working properly. Barnett said he knew of at least one case at the factory where workers used parts from scrap bins and fitted them into planes.

“I haven’t seen a plane out of Charleston yet that I’d put my name on saying it’s safe and airworthy,” Burnett told The New York Times in 2019. He had accused Boeing of denigrating his character and hampering his career, claims which Boeing have denied.

Newsweek reported that a close friend of Burnett claims he said that “if I die, it isn’t suicide.”

Boeing CEO? Putin?

That’s what you get when you think your main priority is to gorge your shareholders and CEOs of subvention’s money and that actually making something is an afterthought…

Time to re-evaluate quality assurance and control in the aircraft industry. Perhaps the FAA should consider a consent decree and take over quality evaluation. Evidently, Boeing has no idea how to operate an effective QA/QC system.

The whole company is defective

Time to scrap

When the price of a company’s stock is more important than the quality and safety of the product they manufacture breakdowns and accidents due to equipment malfunctions are inevitable.

Remember like a month ago, when the republican politicians, and fox, and cartoonists, and their fuhrer, hair trump, blamed Boeing’s problems on dei, because it couldn’t possibly be the fault of the men, who are white, who are in charge?

For the first time in my life, when booking air travel, I look at the planes (so I can avoid anything made by Boeing).

Every time I visit Ramirez”s website, I’m treated to leftist snark that sounds like Nazis talking about Jews. What a way to go through life. Anyway…I flew 777s for almost 10 years. They are fabulous jets, easy to fly and much less stressful physically on the operator. Boeing WAS a great company. It can be again with the right leadership and will be, once merit returns to the hiring process and quality control system.

Can’t argue with the toon, Calhoun is running Boeing into the ground.

Bad place for an airplane manufacturer.

As yet, nobody on the conservative side wants to discuss the meaning of “bloodbath”.

I’d call it peculiar, but really, it’s just sad.

From persons who worked for Boeing, their culture totally changed with their merger with McDonnell Douglas. Quality and safety became secondary.

Aren’t they contracted to replace Airforce 1?

I’m sure it’s DEI (forced on them by leftist America-haters). And I’m also sure that MLK (a white guy from Wyoming) was a Grand Poobah in the KKK!!!

Rameriz almost got it right. Instead of “Our CEO”, the captain should be saying “Our DEI-hobbled CEO and the DEI-hobbled FAA that failed to catch him!”

Industry experts are saying it will take decades for Boeing to get its reputation back, if ever. They didn’t do the stock holders any favors by cutting corners.

Ouch. Though the decision to “save money” by assembling airplanes from a kit was not a good choice. (It is said that E. Musk was irritated by the fact that safety measures were slowing down his assembly line, so he disabled them. Fitting choice of word, I suppose. . . .)

Quick, buy back more stock!

This what happen when DEI (I Prefer DIE) takes hold of a corporation and metastasizes. When social issues, quotas and wokeism become more important than hiring based on merit, promoting the competent and assuring quality control.

⇧ more propaganda lies from kacklin’…

^More verbal diarrhea from gg who never has anything of substance to add to the conversation, just creepy stalking ad hominem attacks. ^
