Blowback???? Is being “unalived” blowback???

[patrykc]

He doesn’t care! He’s leaving! To him this was just three hours of discomfort. He and his predecessor should be in jail

[Seanpfree]

CEO received a 45% raise to $33MILLION / year. The real workers receive 1% raise year over year.

The Board of Directors need to be testifying also. This all happened during their watch too.

CEO: I don't know anything and I'll be sure that neither will you...

[nicolausranker]

What does he actually do that makes him worth $33 million a year?

[mirrortv]

This man is paid $137, 500 every day (8 hours) ?!

That is $18000/hour.

"I don`t know, but I will follow up" I guess this is the phrase they are advised by their lawyers to say when they don`t want to say anything.

From what I understand, the aviation sector is brutal. If you speak out against your company, your career is over.

I've been avoiding airlines that fly Boeing for a while now. Good thing Delta has a huge Airbus fleet.

plug doors fall off, 2 whistleblowers were shot to death

[JayTee]

He said Boeing retaliated against whistleblowers. He was trying to say that Boeing assassinated whistleblowers.

One of the ways Boeing will retaliate against employees that are vocal about concerns is they will move that employee to a different shift or transfer them to the Everett factory. If the employee lives further south then it will take that employee 2 or more hours just to get to work on time and anywhere from 3-4 hours to get home. The implications are that employees will fall into financial hardship and ultimately leave the company because of it or take courses so that they can find a job within the company that’s closer to home. Also, there’s no guarantee that when they accept the new job they will remain on their current shift and it could take years before they get back to the shift they want to be on. It disrupts the employee financially and also has a negative impact on that employees home life. Most of the senior employees have learned to just keep quiet because they can and will retaliate if you “speak up.”

Airbus is watching silently. They will probably be the safest air manufacturer to fly with for decades to come.

[PhrontDoor]

The "E" group at the company and the board should have a decades-worth of clawbacks and if not prosecuted criminally, then at least barred from participating on any board or management and not be allowed to own stocks going forward.
Then they should close down the company.

[RoughRaiders]

Interesting how they spell and pronounce murder as "blowback"😂😂😂

[ednakravitz]

Don’t diminish the use of dawn dishsoap as a leak detector

[morganpeline]

Does he get a bonus each time he orders the assassination of a whistleblower?

[Dan-fhkh]

At the 00:27 second mark someone gets up and yells something like "how could you let this happen to whistleblowers" but they edit it out

[JeffreyGold]

Remember, these are the same folks who first tried to blame the pilots. Further, to add insult to injury—or, in this case: death—it took every other country in the world to ground the 737 MAX before the United States FAA took action to ground the fleet.
