It describes how it used providers instead of internalization to push down on the prices.
However, to anyone who might expect it, it doesn’t tell that Boeing has fired 900 QAs out of 3000 back in 2021.
This documentary is not as damning as Al Jezeera’s documentary on the 2013 airframe mishaps: https://youtu.be/rvkEpstd9os https://youtu.be/rvkEpstd9os
Maybe it’s a European bias, but I’d like to see more shame (and jail time) upon the Boeing management, down to the guy at the bottom who signed off the bolt work without even looking at the plane, which is criminal. But I’m fair, I’d also enjoy the management of Volkswagen going to jail, like that manager who went to holidays through a USA connection and was intercepted by the US border and is still rotting in jail.

- FirmwareBurner 3y agoBoeing is one of the crown jewel flag carrying brands of US superiority, a major jobs provider across several states, and a huge defense supplier, nobody from Boeing is ever going to jail. Deals will be done behind closed doors on how to sort things out quietly and the show will go on.
- lupusreal 3y ago> Boeing is one of the crown jewel brands of US superiority, and a huge defense supplier It is precisely for that reason that people should be going to prison for fucking with it. Sending Boeing people to prison for fraud would protect the strategic value of Boeing, not threaten it. When a metallurgist was found to have fraudulently signed off on steel for US nuclear submarines, she was sent to prison for it. That's the way it should work at Boeing too, but unfortunately the short-term financial concerns are drowning out the long term strategic concerns.
- jacquesm 3y ago> Boeing is one of the crown jewel brands of US superiority was. That is definitely - at least for now - a thing of the past. I'm pretty sure they could regain that position if they really went for it but at the moment they are as much an asset as they are a liability. If they weren't also that 'huge defense supplier' they would have been in far more trouble than they are and by rights they should be.
- michaelt 3y ago> the guy at the bottom who signed off the bolt work without even looking at the plane, which is criminal Rumour is [1] bolt removal was entered in the tracking system as 'opening' the door rather than 'removing' the door and hence it didn't attract a re-inspection.
