I lost my lead position "pay cut" at Boeing last Nov after I pushed back on a serious safety issue against my 2nd and 3rd level managers.

On the flip side , Boeing is a big company that's aware of it's responsibility.

This isn't new, I worked as government oversight at Boeing for years and they repeatedly refused us access to their facilities and the facilities of their subcontractors. Subcontractors, when we were allowed to inspect, were frequently caught producing subpar products with subpar materials in subpar conditions. The amount of FOD (foreign object debris) left on planes coming out of the Boeing plants was absolutely astounding. The response from the DOD and congress was, and still is, to just keep funneling money to Boeing. In any reasonable world Boeing would be out of business and the executives would be on trial.

Spirit WAS “Boeing Wichita KS.” The factory was sold to a private investor group. All (or many) staff were fired or retired and then folks had to interview for new jobs if they wanted to work for Spirit. Then, investors took the company public a few years later to make a boat load of coin. This was in part motivated by Boeing’s desire to reduce the power of the unions, among other practicalities.

It needs to be understood that Spirit AeroSystems of Wichita (maker of the 737 Fuselage) WAS Boeing until 2005. Up until that time, these fuselages were made by Boeing at their Wichita plant. When Boeing corporate decided that production costs in Wichita were too high, they "closed/sold" the plant, laid off all their workers and created a stand-alone entity known as Spirit AeroSystems. I had many friends who worked at Boeing Wichita during that time. Everybody went home sweating bullets, looking in their mailboxes for that magic letter offering them "new" employment with the Spirit, doing the same job they did last week, but at significantly lower wages and with less benefits. Spirit AeroSystems is a vendor/supplier for other manufacturers, but the overwhelming majority of work in Wichita remains the 737 fuselage production. Boeing may claim this is not their problem, but the reality is that they created this spin-off company merely to decrease their manufacturing costs and increase their bottom line.

The mechanic has to “stamp” (recorder in an electronic system) each step and a QA inspector has to “stamp” inspections for many (not all) steps. It’s very difficult to be 100%. I am guessing in this case that the mechanic left out the 4 bolts and mistakenly stamped them off as complete. I don’t know if there were inspection steps for this door. It should have.

There's suspicion that the door plug was not properly bolted. The plug is installed in the fuselage during manufacturing at Spirit. However, when Boeing receives the fuselage, they remove the plug to facilitate installation of the interior. The plug is then reinstalled after installation at Boeing. The aircraft had been delivered October, 2023, so the plug bolts were mostly likely last torqued at Boeing. The two hour voice recorder: The two hour limitation hass been the standard for US airliners for decades. Boeing airliners delivered to European airlines have 25 hour voice recorders. The FAA needs to upgrade the US standard to 25 hours.

Please look at the design structure of the plug door and the way the bolts retain the plug door in place. As long as those bolts are present the castle nut is on and the cotter pin is in it, they can be loose as hell that door will not leave that aircraft. It doesn't have to be tight it just has to be on there. My problem is that the only way that that door could have left the aircraft in question is that somebody either put the bolts in and never put the castle nuts and and cotter pins on. And all four of them fell out of their spot, or nobody ever put the bolts in in the first place. There are Springs underneath that door that are held in place by two bolts that run through the spring purchase and there's two bolts at the top that keep you from being able to push the door up to release it from its mounting points. The only way that that could have occurred is somebody stuck the bolts in the place and never put the nuts on them and the cotter pins. Unless there's something else to the design that I didn't see in the blueprints that I saw, that door isn't coming off of there without somebody intentionally walking away from it just after installing the door and throwing a couple of bolts in place and leaving it unfinished but they had to sign off on their actions. I've worked on aircraft, I know a little bit about what I'm talking about. Which is why I looked up the actual design features of that door plug.

America is hollow now because of private equity firms. They have hollowed out all of our major companies that were the building blocks of our economy. Bill ackman did that with pharmaceutical when he gutted research and development of all pharmaceutical companies he bought or did extreme takeover of, They created short-term wealth of enjoying the r&b budget as profits. But in the long term I guarantee you all of our medicine will come from China or India because we are not doing any research anymore.

Contract work can be helpful, but it's ESSENTIAL that the company outsourcing the labor maintain the knowledge base and some competent employees for all phases of the production process (and maintain contact/control of the process).

@@TomMcinerney-g9b -- Yeah, yeah. But it the incident under discussion, it's becoming manifest that Boeing people screwed up in assembly work they did in their own plant with no subs. Perhaps the same discipline that's being imposed upon flight crews (CVRs, etc.) be imposed upon line assembly workers and inspectors. The "tech" today is up to recording just about everything done on an assembly or production line. Likewise, quality assurance of incoming inspection of materials and assemblies can be video "taped." When something goes wrong, the failure can be traced back to the truck that brought the components of the suspect part onto company grounds.

In 2010, Gates cancelled a military program we were on due to the fact Boeing had over 300 subcontractors. He told Boeing they look like the arm of the Pentagon. It looks like, they are still that way today. This company may need to be broken up like we did MA-Bell years ago. I don't know how you would do that but, something needs to happen with this accountability with subcontractors.

I wouldn't characterize the break up of Ma Bell as a success story. Most of the spinoffs went under and tens of thousands lost their jobs.

Well, the McNamara "reforms" changed the "business model" of defense contractors to "cost plus" and created a world whereby the most reliable profit was made by keeping the contract open rather than getting production out the door. When major companies "bid" on the job, the winner sub-contracts much of the work to the loser. Everyone (except the taxpayers) wins.

I started on Boeing Airplanes 40 years ago and they were the best quality in the world. It's very sad for me to see what they have become. B727 200 and B757 200 were my favorite Boeing aircraft of all time.

@@19Borneo67 The modern Boeing 737 NG Series are already having CRACKED PICKLE FORKS that should not be happening over the life of the airframe. Some of them with less than 40000 hours and 25000 cycles . The modern Boeing Structures do not measure up to older Generation aircraft such as the B727 which were built much more rugged. I contend that the modern Boeing Aircraft would not measure up to Aloha Airlines Flight 243 which was a Boeing 737 200 series aircraft.

Maybe you haven't considered the structure of airplanes have changed? To better suited to resistant to fires. The new Carbon Compositions may suck, needing extra work keeping pressurization intact. But they save more lives from being turned to ashes.

It’s not profit over safety, its diversity over safety. Instead of hiring the best candidates for a given job based on their merits they have started hiring people based on skin color, sexual preference and gender.

During my 20-years USN CAREER, after a 4-day turnover, I spent about 18-months in AIMD calibrating torque tools, pressure gages and aircraft cable tensiometers. I test the tools on devices that were certified by a lab. It was a simple job, I did need to reject a few items and educate some sailors on proper use and storage of Periodic Measuring Equipment. I left the lab due to promotion to AE1 a supervisor position.
