There needs to be criminal charges against Boeing management and board of directors for all the souls lost in MAX crashes

McDonnell Douglas gave Boeing corporate syphilis.

Thank you all for speaking up for everyone who travels .

A whistleblower hearing on of the backbones of our world’s travel and this video only has 39k views…..crazy. THIS actually matters and the broken system needs to be fixed ASAP.

Donald Trump signed Executive Order 13771 “Reducing Regulation and Controlling Regulatory Costs" yet nobody says anything about it.

[dianacrossno]

Thank you for speaking out! Boeing management needs to be in jail!

[jeffreychongsathien]

It's a waste of time to be a decent person in an indecent society (America - rotten to the core).

[loveguitarx]

Honestly, this is so embarrassing for a company like Boeing with such history and heritage. The fact that it came to this point is insane. SMH 🤦

[livethefuture]

i wonder how much this 'wistleblower protection' is worth...and whether anything would come of coming out and testifying anyway.

[gfd]

Hmmm, should I be suspicious that Joe's testimony was cut off just when he was pinpointing specific irregularities?

[lukutsouthwell]

WITHOUT A DOUBT I WOULD TRUST MY LIFE WITH THESE TYPES OF GENTLEMEN NOT Boeing’s management. Period!

[mlbabineaux]

This is what happens when corporations put wall street and profit over engineering and safety

[maf]

I have worked as Quality engineer in less critical industries. What happened at Boeing is a catastrophy!!!

[TheBuckaroo]

Another day and another testimony. NOTHING will be done while innocent people suffer the loss of their loved ones for years to come.

[tristan]

poor behaviours like just about every large corporation I've ever worked at, the problem is the impact of failure is severe when it comes to air travel.

[MrShawn]

Thank you guys for standing up for something!

So they are having an argument over whether it’s worth taking the planes out of service to fix them because it’s bad for the economy to fix them.

I'm 50+ and have been involved with doing quality control and testing for Boeing products and facilities years ago and is where I learned some of the highest standards I can remember. Boeing previously had a culture of the highest quality and pride of workmanship that you could expect. That can be restored. Take the pencil pushers out of control. They don't care because they don't understand the situation and impact of their actions. When you insentivise management by what the stock price is, this is what happens. When you put a person in charge that takes pride in the product produced, you will get quality products again. The CEO should not make more money than 10 times the highest paid line worker. Bring management down onto the floor to work with the workers. They need to close the ivory towers and experience reality. They need to be committed to the product.
