Boeing, which is still deeply embroiled in the public opinion of aircraft manufacturing safety, has had another incident. On May 7th, Southern Metropolitan Daily learned that the Federal Aviation Administration of the United States is conducting a new investigation into Boeing to determine whether its employees have not conducted some quality checks on the Boeing 787 aircraft, and whether the company's employees have forged records.
On May 6th local time, the Federal Aviation Administration of the United States stated that investigators are conducting a new investigation into Boeing to investigate whether its employees did not conduct some quality checks on the Boeing 787 aircraft, and whether the company's employees may have falsified records.
According to foreign media reports, the Federal Aviation Administration of the United States stated that Boeing voluntarily notified in April that it may not have completed necessary inspections of the connections between the wings and fuselage of some Boeing 787 aircraft as required. The Boeing executive responsible for overseeing the Boeing 787 aircraft project said that the incident was reported by a company employee. The company identified several employees who violated company policies, did not conduct necessary tests, but recorded their work as completed, which was considered "improper behavior". However, the executive stated that this was not an "urgent flight safety issue". The company has reported the situation to regulatory authorities and is quickly taking measures to correct it. The company stated that it will "commend" this outspoken employee.
According to previous reports from Southern Metropolis, Boeing engineer Sam Saliple recently reported that the company had problems manufacturing Boeing 787 and Boeing 777 aircraft, but was told by the company to shut up and also faced personal threats from senior management. In addition, two former Boeing employees who accused Boeing of manufacturing problems have recently passed away one after another, causing concern. Boeing is still deeply embroiled in a public opinion vortex related to manufacturing safety.
