If all goes well on Monday, two #NASA astronauts will blast off into space on #Boeing’s #Starliner spacecraft.
And it’s a big deal – this long-delayed mission will represent the vehicle’s first crewed launch. If successful, it will give NASA – and in the future, space tourists – more options for getting to low Earth orbit.

"Under AIR21, an aviation whistleblower who is retaliated against by their employer must first try to resolve their problem internally....)if HR takes more than 90 days to resolve your internal complaint, you can no have no further recourse). If you manage to raise a complaint with OSHA, it is heard by a secret tribunal that has no subpoena power and routinely takes five years to rule on cases, and rules against whistleblowers 97% of the time."

Whistleblower Josh Dean of Boeing supplier Spirit AeroSystems has died
Joshua Dean, a former quality auditor at Boeing supplier Spirit AeroSystems and a whistleblower who alleged Spirit ignored manufacturing defects, has died after a sudden illness.The Seattle Times
Holy shit. Thanks @pluralistic now I don't want to fly anymore 😱
Boeing's 787 "Dreamliner" is manufactured ... in a non-union shop in Charleston, South Carolina. At that shop, there is a cage full of defective parts that have been pulled from production because they are not airworthy.
Hundreds of parts from that Material Review Segregation Area (MRSA) were secretly pulled from that cage and installed on aircraft that are currently flying the world's skies.

In response to pro-Palestine protests, Portland State University freezes ties with Boeing
> #PortlandStateUniversity President Ann Cudd said the school will pause seeking or accepting further gifts or grants from #Boeing pending "debate."
A new #boeing #whistleblower alleges “alarming & dangerous manufacturing deficiencies that are creating potentially catastrophic safety risks.” For ex., Salehpour alleges that defects with Boeing’s 787 could lead to “premature fatigue failure.”
“I literally saw people jumping on the pieces of the airplane to get them to align. By jumping up & down, you’re deforming parts so that the holes align temporarily… and that’s not how you build an airplane”

New Boeing whistleblower says planemaker cut corners on its Dreamliner jets: ‘I am doing this not because I want Boeing to fail, but because I want it to … prevent crashes’
Boeing engineer Sam Salehpour complained to the FAA about Boeing safety practices on two of its jets.Eleanor Pringle (Fortune)
"a #Boeing quality engineer, alleged Tuesday that... the company took shortcuts such as failing to follow its own procedures for ensuring pieces of the plane’s fuselages were properly fitted and joined. He also described instances where workers placed “excessive stress” on major airplane joints to make it look like gaps did not exist. This let the company speed up the manufacturing process — but at the risk of reducing the life span of the jetliners"

Boeing is what happens when cost-cutting catches up with a company.
"Boeing hid the problem by pushing the pieces together with force to make it appear like that the gap didn't exist," Salehpour told reporters at Tuesday's press briefing.
"I literally saw people jumping on the pieces of the airplane to get them to align," he said. "That's not how you build a plane."

So is this the kind that crashes itself, the kind where the door panels come off, or the kind where the engine covers fall off?
