Thread regarding Boeing Co. layoffs

KC-46 de-funked

Not again...

@3jml+15vU25lZ I'm the type of guy who believes leaving ANYTHING in an airplane that does not belong does damage. That could be as small as corrosion and as large as plugging a fuel jet pump and taking it down.

I'm the type of guy who takes pride in my work, who takes responsibility for my failures no matter what the consequences.

I am the type of person that believes that even though someone else has to check my work, it does not abdicate my responsibility for doing it right or making a mistake.

So basically, I am the opposite of you and most IAM.

OP, you sound like the type of guy that would me make not give a sh– about leaving my lunch in there.

Best of the best my A**. Maybe half are these days.

well said !!!!

Boeing is an exclusive elite club. Only the best of the best are hired into Boeing through our superb hiring pipeline. The trashy planes are just a cost of doing business with Seattle's finest high school grads former felons and other rejects.

In this case, it was a Boeing Quality inspector who found the FOD before delivery - not the customer who found it.

Quality should be finding it and holding the sloppy mechanics responsible, but they are not.
First time quality is not just a quality function. It is up to the mechanic to do it right and clean up after themselves.

When an airplane goes down due to fod in the systems, both QA and the mechanics will have to live with it. Which makes them no better than the BoD with the MAX.

First time quality at Boeing. Keep it up. It makes Boeing looks great and who knows maybe you’ll get promoted!!

It’s called the final stamp by QT they take ownership of the work area by stamping it’ Qt is a joke a BCA!!!!

@1nmi+15vU25lZ yep, there's the union mentality, always someone else's fault.

Bet your mom cleaned your room and your wife cleans your house.

Quality is not innocent in this, but mechanics need to take some personal responsibility.

@1nmi+15vU25lZ

I agree. One quality and one mechanic should be fired for ever airplane found with FOD

Not seen one qt’ fired or camed for missed fod!!!!

Hahaha but what about the jobs of the people clipping found fod to The walls in the meeting room every morning! F-ing joke! It’s clear quality can’t get out of there chairs’ quality should be the end all, yet they have impunity, their whole org is a joke!
