The "rot" began at the top when Boeing "merged" with McDonnel Douglas. In reality, the merged company had a management mentality of military aviation bean counters from McDD push Boeing's engineering excellence DNA under. The first was to move HQ to Chicago, away from the manufacturing and engineering in Washington. Then, when the A320 showed that it was a better value for money, more recent design, the bean counting military-oriented Chicago managers decided to do a band-aid re-engineering of a 60-year old jet design. The 737 fuselage was not only narrower than the A320, but its height above ground was too low to accommodate, larger, higher bypass efficient engines. Instead of designing a new fuselage, the bean counters decided to tweak the mounting of the bigger engines to project upward, not only adversely affective aerodynamic stability, but also requiring new wings. The Bean Counters also claimed that the 737 Max would be so similar to the previous versions that no pilot flight simulator training would be necessary. Meanwhile, Boeing engineers with a conscience were silenced about the inherently unstable "Frankenstein" design, and the firm lobbied the FAA to approve the aircraft. Ex-McDD management had been accustomed to the "acceptable" aircraft failures in military aviation, not the zero failure philosophy of civil aviation. The new management of Boeing should have been tried for criminal negligence, but Boeing was "too big to fail" and the largest single source of foreign sourced revenue. Instead, there was a "settlement" of a mere $5 billion, perhaps as most claimants were not Americans but Africans and Asians??? Boeing criminal, amoral negligence also tarnished the FAA, the opinions of which are no longer considered a "gold standard" from China to France, and there is no longer an assumption of engineering and manufacturing excellence in Boeing products. If market forces had been allowed on Boeing, the entire 737 Max Frankenfuselage would have bitten the dust, and Boeing management forced into a radical overhaul of practices in favor of a return to engineering and safety priority over short term economic gain (and bonouses for management). In truth, when the A320 showed that it was a better suited, more modern design, Boeing should have bitten the bullet and invest the billions in designing a new narrow-body aircraft, taller, wider and configured for the increasingly voluminous passenger size since t he 1950s. Alas, to no avail, and I avoid any Max flights, and even avoid the cramped lateral seating of any 737 unless I am in a Premium or higher class.

Meanwhile, Boeing tried its damnest to prevent the Bombardier C-Series (100 and 300) from entering the US market, thus wrecking that competitor. Boeing did that by doing what it does best: lobbying the Feds, where they successfully convinced the Dept. of Commerce to levy a 271% tariff on the C-series. That blocked a 75-plane opening order from Delta, Boeing having this idea that Delta would then go buy their old-design 737. Well, that stunt backfired, as Bombardier sold the design to Airbus and now Airbus has the A-220, a spectacular success. And Boeing is stuck with the continuing fiascos of the 737 Max. it becomes apparent that Boeing is now a lobbying company, parked just outside the Pentagon, where Boeing makes its serious money as a military-hardware contractor. What a disgrace.

Which is interesting because the 737 has always been a garbage low quality aircraft right from day one. They used the same fuselage for long range aircraft so with the massive amount of flights for short range aircraft it had numerous structural problems which resulted in the roof blowing off Aloha 243 in 1988. Then there was the rudder power control units that decided to malfunction leading to the loss of several aircraft. So many bandaid fixes to what’s a 1967 aircraft with portions of the design dating back to the early 1950s.

The give-away that this was coming came when Boeing's headquaters were moved to Chicago. Boeing was birthed in Seattle, by people who loved airplanes and were dedicated to producing the best product it was possible to create. The company was run by the engineers who designed and built airplanes, and took pride in producing the best possible airplane. If that meant extra cost, then so be it. Pass the cost on to the customer. But the old guard faded out, and the MBAs came along. For some reason only an MBA can explain, they moved headquaters to Chicago. They don't make airplanes in Chicago, and the new management didn't have to be bothered by all those pesky engineers. Now the bean counters rule, and well, we see the result. I flew for United for 36 years and loved Boeing airplanes. Now my son is a captain for Alaska and I'm nervous for him.

@@kyleprimetime You don't understand how CVR works, the CVR starts recording when the aircraft has power, even ground power. By the time preflight checks are done, PAX boarded and fuel and cargo loaded, that could take an 40 minutes just for that then there is taxi out and any other hold-ups before take off then you have the same at landing until the aircraft is powered down, so for example a 1Hr flight could and does very easily use more of the 2Hr CVR recording time. That is a simple break-down version, of why there was no usable CVR recording. In the USA there is a 2Hr record limit, in Europe it is 25Hr, In America the pilots don't want 25 Hr recorder they say it's about privacy.

Interestingly, these numbers have fallen despite the number of scheduled flights increasing. The ICAO attributes the improvements in safety to the safety commitments shared across the industry.

Wow…when this guy said he got off the plane, that kinda stuck with me. Thankfully delta doesn’t fly these planes. Not sure what is going on over at the Boeing assembly line, but when management promoted the saying, “schedule is king”, you’re just asking for trouble. When you’re putting together airplanes, “safety is king”….period. No exceptions. I will be interested to hear more about the level of skill and training the production workers have on the line. I was in the Air Force for over 20 years in the aircraft maintenance world, and our mechanics all had a hierarchy of skill: apprentices, then journeyman, then craftsman. The craftsman typically had 10 years experience. Only a craftsman could “sign off / certify” completion of a task. Journeyman could do the work independently, but couldn’t sign off their work. It had to be checked. An apprentice was not allowed to work alone and had to be under the watchful eye of a journeyman, minimum. I’ll be sickened if we find out that unqualified, inexperienced, or poorly trained technicians are working independently on that assembly line. But considering the situation, one can only assume that is the case. Really not good for Boeing.

After Boeing merging with McDonnell Douglas in 1997, Boeing has been gradually down. New high rank managers/directors are former M.D. It appears that these former M.D. directors (now directors at Boeing after merging) have made poor decision & poor policy: (1) Over outsourcing of major high tech components to other companies, including foreign countries. (2) Increasing integration. Consequently, Boeing engineers have lost lots of valuable design skills on major high tech components; Contractors/subcontractors/foreign countries have gained experience and secret in major high tech components. Now, Boeing does less design, but more INTEGRATION. That's not the majority of Boeing engineers want. Another factor: CEO Calhoun has bachelor’s degree in accounting which not good background for management of Boeing. CEO with engineering/technical degree is preferred. Boeing sold facility in Wichita, KS to Spirit Aero is another poor policy (against the general A-Z in industry). Spirit has become one major contractor to build fuselage, and a number of major components for Boeing.

Most people aren’t smart enough to see the aircraft information is right in front of them when they book the ticket.

Paraphrasing a comment by another user on a similar video..."You have to believe there is a group of engineers at Boeing that aren't surprised by this".

I'm with this guy. I won't fly Alaska. I won't fly on and MAX and I will no longer fly on any Boing plane or any plane operated by a US Carrier. I far prefer Airbus and Embraer.

I don’t know how you avoid flying on a Max in 2023 - especially in North America - they are literally everywhere and fly on thousands on routes a day.

Ed Pierson I like your professionalism and humanity, please don’t accept $5M to $10M cheques by Boeing, they will try this way too for sure.

Is this just max 9 planes? Southwest claims the max 8s are fine. Whats the truth

I feel more safe flying in a 30 year old Boeing across the Atlantic than a 737 max flying from Miami to New York. They don't make them how they used to.

Unfortunately despite a refresh the Max is still a 60 year old aircraft, I would never fly on one and Boeing are still having problems with the refreshed 777, they should really go back to the drawing board and design completely new models

What it comes down to is company greed by cutting corners and pressuring engineers to not be thorough due to time constraints. I will no longer fly Boeing. Airbus all the way. This didn’t have to happen…

What about the 900er ? Same door plug as the max 9.

The 900er were manufactured before all these outsourcing cost cutting poor QC started.

Boeing has been an icon in the aircraft world for decades, to see this broken Corporate culture of the modern era darn near destroy everything it touches is a sad situation indeed.

Well since WWII, with the brief exception of De Havilland, US aircraft manufacturers have had free rein. But now that there’s international competition, the cracks are showing.

Does anyone know what his website is? I didn’t catch it, or his name, in the video.

After all the Problems the MAX has - i wonder why FAA doesn't cancel the flightstatus of that bird. Still the "ex-Boing in FAA-positions"-issue?
@CaptainBlackadder756 ай бұрын
And we need to be vigilant that after all of this, Boeing doesn’t just end up renaming their Max 8 & 9 as something else in an attempt to blindside the public.

If the Airplane film franchise from the 1970's had a scene where the door blew off in flight everyone would be laughing and they would think it was a good comedy moment.

This guy seemed to have called out Boeing on their shady practices while working there. They probably got rid of him to keep their operations in motion. The way he talks about leadership at Boeing says alot. I'm just thankful someone was able to speak out and let us know about the situation. I myself will NOT be flying Boeing Anything because one Plane crash is one too many!
