Boeing whistleblowers right out the woodwork
https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.wsj...ff-11556456400
Honestly I don’t know why this wasn’t an addressed issue as much as it now, before an accident happened. Sounds weird to me. What’s the chances these are some **** employees with resentment to the company and is now trying to slander them? I feel like these problems would be widely discussed between pilot to pilot and Boeing employees. To the point it would cause some type of spotlight. I mean all it would take is a strike by pilots. I find this weird because at the same time these Boeing caused “accidents” constantly happen with horrible airlines that lack maintenance on issues. What’s your take on this.

How is this a shady question? Lol. You’re paranoid for nothing big guy. Nobody is after you. I’m just an investor for Boeing who finds it SHADY that employees all of the sudden wanna come out and talk after two crashes and hundreds of death

That's plausible.
Human nature. Doesn't mean they don't have legit concerns, maybe just took an accident or two to overcome their inherent reluctance to dime out their employer. IIRC at least some of the complaints before the second crash.
Different story if it's a "frequent flyer" whistleblower with an axe to grind, but the regulators probably already know who they are.
Honestly my BIGGEST concern with this whole MCAS thing is not just MCAS but rather Boeing's reaction to it. I have to wonder how many other things they may have glossed over, on the max or other jets. Hopefully this is not the tip of some iceberg of abuse of their self regulatory privilege. Hopefully a one-off.

And you’re an investor “for” Boeing?
Are you also a translator “for” English?

However, for you to say:

Go FOIA all the https://asrs.arc.nasa.gov reports on the 737 Max line and get back to us.

As in investor presumably in Boeing stock you have a biased view of what you want the answer to be. Most investors, I'm guessing you're included, would prefer that Boeing's exposure would be limited as to protect the value of their investment.
However, for you to say:
I think most would add that the whistleblowers want to talk about production lapses "again". The Charleston production line is full of stories of "shady" practices where FAA certified A&P production employees expressed concerns and non-certificated managers ignored or marginalized the issues. That's not new, and has been reported.

I just followed a separate thread on this page and a few users explained how it was pilot error to begin with. It made sense. Media has been slamming Boeing when it should the airlines for putting inexperienced, well a student in the passenger seat. I think it’s safe to say it was only the captain flying after take off. I’ve noticed these Boeing caused “accidents” happen in foreign countries where maintenance is a known issue.
