Boeing says workers skipped required tests on 787 but recorded work as completed
- PicassoCTs 2y agoThat is the result of a "hacker culture" spreading globally in a economy. Everyone just games the system, nobody wants to work anymore, as "work" is for suckers and chumps- and you are no chump, you are the CEO of your own little life and you want to do a stockbuyback, by cheating like the guy on top.

- Angostura 2y agoWhat incentives did they have to do this? Sounds like it could be a system problem. … or they could just be slacking.
- belter 2y agoThey must be working from home... :-)
- cultureswitch 2y agoIs there a reason a publication will write "Boeing workers falsified records" instead of "Boeing falsified records"? What do you think it is?
- jprd 2y agoLegal. Boeing is a corporation and they don't have proof it was a Corporate Decision™ Meaning, we lean on the non-entity organization legally and perhaps some of its officers and accept defense arguments that were invalidated at Nuremburg. Both Boeing and individuals will be indicted eventually, but I agree that Boeing (thanks Citizen United!) should bear the brunt of the punishment.
- febeling 2y agoImagine being part of a management that thinks when your workers lie on paperwork that excuses you.
- windexh8er 2y agoUnfortunately Boeing has proven this is BAU and, apparently, it's acceptable.
- smsm42 2y agoIt actually works great for them - by the time the fraud is revealed, the workers are long gone, the records who worked on what and who's responsible are conveniently "lost" and the manager in not responsible for anything - they always had the correct paperwork. Nobody to blame, "mistakes were made", let's forget it and move on. And the workers are not stupid either - they would pick up what is expected of them very quickly, and will know it's ok to lie as long as you aren't caught for enough time.
- windexh8er 2y agoAnd now Boeing is back to blaming lower level staff again, as if circumventing the process isn't a management problem. Keep in mind that this is a company that has had a ridiculous number of massive safety failures for air travel just this year alone [0].

- moi2388 2y agoSo why did you catch it now and not during QA? Or did you not do QA?
- smsm42 2y ago> he FAA has opened an investigation into Boeing after the company voluntarily informed us in April that it may not have completed required inspections to confirm adequate bonding and grounding where the wings join the fuselage on certain 787 Dreamliner airplanes Forget doors opening in-flight - how'd you like wings falling off?
