‘Shortcuts Everywhere’: How Boeing Favored Speed Over Quality

In February last year, a new Southwest Airlines Boeing 737 Max plane
was on one of its first flights when an automated stabilizing system appeared
to malfunction, forcing the pilots to make an emergency landing soon after takeoff.

Less than two months later, an Alaska Airlines 737 Max plane with eight hours
of total flight time was briefly grounded until mechanics resolved a problem
with a fire detection system. And in November, an engine on a just-delivered
United Airlines 737 Max failed at 37,000 feet.

These incidents, which the airlines disclosed to the Federal Aviation Administration,
were not widely reported. There were no indications that anyone was in danger,
and it was not clear who was ultimately responsible for those problems.
But since Jan. 5, when a panel on a 2-month-old Alaska Airlines 737 Max 9 jet
blew off in midair, episodes like these have taken on new resonance, raising
further questions about the quality of the planes Boeing is producing.

Yep, zombies...

Most people don't have the critical thinking skills to factually formulate their own opinions using any basis of truth and reality. These brainwashed zombies are first emotionally stimulated by anger or fear and then have opinions programmed into their emotionally stimulated brains by faux news social media propaganda. And these programmed zombies can then be made to do things that are even harmful to themselves.

Brainwashed zombies.

What makes certain mentalities prone to authoritarian bootlicking, becoming eager followers of authoritarian figures like Hi---r and Mu--olini, later St-lin and Mao, today Trump and Putin?

"I thought my shyde didn't shtink."

Problem with blaming anyone other than the Boeing leadership is that it was the Boeing leadership who set Boeing's hiring policy and then hired the so called lazy and incompetent Boeing employees. So ultimately...ALL of Boeing's failings are the full responsibility of the Boeing leadership. And it was Boeing leadership who set the policy to put stock price above ALL else. And Boeing employees with half a brain know that Boeing is doomed regardless of how well they do job. Boeing is now the sinking Titanic with their PR band still playing sweet music to Wallstreet ears to try to keep stock price high for more executive severance packages.

All of your fault too. Not just the C-Suite. All of you rank and file people have blood on your hands as much as the C-suite does.

What the incompetent frauds in executive row don't realize is that 99% of the employees loathe them and mock them 24/7. Insulated by their cadre of lickspittles and yes-men, they simply don't understand how despised they are.

I remember in 1992 when they told me in a Boeing management class that you don't need to be an engineer to lead engineering teams...you just need good people skills. Found that incredulous at the time but that was the policy that became dominant and took Boeing to where it is now. Also got a lot of people rich too that would have otherwise had a hard time just getting a job at McDonalds. But these lucky ones had friends in high places at Boeing.

We are witnessing first-hand the Jack Welsh management playbook. I recall when they would send these aspiring nepo executives to famous business schools for a month or so to get a "certificate" business credential and then promote them high and fast. Words can't describe the degree to which the entire Boeing leadership structure is now totally unfit for managing anything engineering related. And they created a workforce equally unfit.

Start updating your resume and move from this over taxed state

So true. I smell bacon frying in the skillet.

And not just incompetent workforce that would take decades to get competent either. There have been skeletons buried in airplanes designed and manufactured by Boeing in recent years that will eventually surface. 787 is more at risk than 737Max. So no matter how they paint this pig, it is still a pig that will end up at the butcher shop.

Yeah, a once great company with a great history now just a hollow shell company with no future. But this won't stop the maggots from feeding on it.

The Wallstreet Boeing stock hawks are now celebrating that Calhoun's departure and cheerleading how this will turn the company around and stock price will soar to $500 per share. The level of BS and corruption in the US is unprecedented.

Anyone that worked at Boeing in the past back when it was a great engineering company knows that those days are over forever. No matter how great the new leadership will be...and it will be poor because there is only a long line of Boeing bean counters waiting to grab their golden parachutes...it won’t change Boeing's trajectory into the ground because it isn't the executive suite that does the engineering and manufacturing work. All the capable people that did this work are gone. It took decades to train these people to get them that capable. Whatever BS words come out of the executive suite mouths won't change a thing now. It's game over.

"A white collar organized crime ring on a massive scale"
that would be the upper echelon of wall street and our government
that used these executives to hollow out boeing for quick profit
it's not the first company they did this to and it won't be the last - vampires

He must be staying to get another bonus cycle. An "entitled" crook. Already wealthy but got to get another payout before exiting the crime scene.

Well at least he's staying till end of the year 🙃 🙄 😅

It hasn't been possible for a person who cared about the company to be a Boeing executive for decades. People who cared about the company and voiced their concerns were declared non team players and removed one way or another. A team player is AKA a yes man.

Calhoun doesn't care about the company. His exit is looking straight at the huge severance package on their way out. It’s generational wealth for his family. BYE!

Another degenerate Boeing executive laughing all the way to the bank. This one has been doing his evil voodoo at Boeing since 2009. But if you think he was evil, wait until you meet his successor.

Send them to the big house and let bubba take over.

Calhoun and every miscreant promoted into the corrupt executive suite during the last 25 years. They should all be doing hard time but they obviously bribed the agencies that could make that happen. A white collar organized crime ring on a massive scale.
