There are new safety concerns for Boeing. The FAA received nearly a dozen whistleblower complaints linked to the 787 Dreamliner, a plane thousands of Americans fly every day. Kris Van Cleave reports.

You allow them to be their own ''police.''
Until that changes, this danger will never go away.

Seriously Boeing is playing with people's life

1:30 "Safety and Quality are at the core of Boeing Values"
Tell that to the 189 at the bottom on the ocean near Indonesia and 157 6ft under in Ethiopia.

Old news... Boeing employees have said they would never fly 787. Power/wiring issues. Employees fired for talking about it. Not to mention employees have flat out stated you could buy almost any drug you want from the manufacturing floor.There’s a SHITLOAD of 787 complaints. Former employees say they knowingly cut corners all the time on 787. This is an upper management issue.

Airlines say the 787 has never experienced a crash. So they want to wait until it has one before taking action?

Boeing you gave me enough reason not to fly with your trash cans. Safety was and will not be your first priority instead of making profit were always been your priority.

I’m starting to become an “if it’s Boeing I ain’t going “ fan

If It's Boeing, then I'm not Going!

Most of these are just rumors, and minor anomalous incidents. The inspectors and workers responsible for the errors should be dealt with. But that's the price you pay for making a serious error in not doing a proper shakeout of known flight software issues. THAT is inexcusable.

I do construction, you don't want to know what's in the walls of your new home.

[slyfer]

If it's Boeing, I'm not going.

[thomasdaniels]

Where are the " if it aint boeing i aint going" people?

[RudieObias]

Speed over safety? Priority into quality? Production for profit? This doesn't sound like American Capitalism to me! 🙃

[maxedww]

Airbus is going to struggle to meet this unique demand.

[dbclass]

It is high time for the Boeing management to undergo intensive cleansing before more accidents occur, and it's defense division affected.

Wish we had whistleblower's in the Senate and Congress.

[dontecampbell]

It's time for their current CEO to step down and stop ruining the company
