Yeah...FAA is just as culpable with this deadly fiasco as is Boeing. There are clearly unsafe 737Maxs and 787s still flying. Nothing significant has changed. Just follow the money and you will find the degenerates.
With the history of the FAA retaliating against professionals who voice
safety concerns, who dares to open their mouth knowing they are going up
against a company who committed mass mսrder for profit.
Along with their co-conspirator the FAA, a federal entity as corrupt as Boeing.
Remember, the FAA only grounded the Max Mսrder Machine
Well After the rest of the planet did so.
Zero will happen to Boeing. I can see the report no toilet paper in the bathrooms, no lip balm at the tool room and on and on. The FAA is controlled by Boeing and management with the help of the 751 will have you sign a contract that su-ks . Sorry to say
One more straw on the camels back will be the end all. 90 days to fix things when they had years to do something is far fetched. I'm crossing my fingers and toes on this one

So Sad, that people believe in the duplicitous FAA:
Their Scսm is cut from the same cloth as Boeing leadership.
Arbitrator rules that FAA chief aided retaliation case
A U.S. Labor Department judge says the head of the
Federal Aviation Administration helped Delta Air Lines retaliate
against a pilot who raised safety concerns while he was an
executive with the airline. (--- FAA SСUM ---)
An administrative law judge for the department ruled that
Stephen DIСΚson and other Delta executives steered a
human-resources procedure so that the pilot would undergo a
psychiatric evaluation that independent doctors
deemed unwarranted. (Corporate SСUM)
Delta said Monday that it plans to appeal the ruling.
The FAA declined to comment on the ruling,
instead pointing to DIСΚson’s past comments on the case,
including that he wasn’t deeply involved in it. (Lying SСUM)
I assume the FAA routinely audits Boeing. They should have uncovered these problems long ago. Looks like everybody was politicking and sleep at the wheel.

An FAA audit of Boeing and Boeing supplier Spirit AeroSystems
found multiple instances in which the companies,
Boeing and Spirit, failed to comply with quality-control standards
on the 737 Max 9 production line.
The FAA said it identified noncompliance issues in Boeing's manufacturing process control, parts handling and storage,
and product control.
The audit is part of an investigation launched by the agency
following the blowout of an exit door plug on an Alaska Airlines
Boeing 737 Max 9 deatҺtrap aircraft during a flight on Jan. 5.
Lmao !! Nothing is going to happen to Boeing executives, Managers. Broken record! Blah blah blah ! No change’s ! No layoffs ! Schedule driven and stock driven as always! Political BS as usual!
This will be the straw that broke the camel’s back. Boeing will have too much leverage to give Union workers a low ball deal. And if you don’t take it. Bye bye WA. Sell your lifted trucks, boats, & bikes. The fairytale is ending soon for all these fat lazy overpaid slobs. lol
Kickbacks from the big gov. to corporations. The little people are the only ones coming in last. We get it both ways. Our children and grandchildren will have nothing left in the end.
Boeing hasn't made a profit and keeps taking on more debt...but Boeing nepo executives have done very well... So it seems like that is the only reason Boeing is still in business...and no one has made them accountable for what they did. So the road goes on forever and the party never ends...until it does not.
And while there are still orders coming in from airlines overly pregnant with Boeing airplanes with no other option given the huge Airbus backlog, the Boeing nepo executives responsible for selling these airplanes at negative profit margin will be long gone with their severance packages before Boeing is broken up and goes into receivership resulting in many of these orders never becoming deliveries.
Entire Boeing operation these days appears to be fraud at a massive scale.
The Federal Aviation Administration last week gave Boeing 90 days to come up
with a real program and not just another whitewash BS Scheme/Scam, as usual
a plan that has measurable results to fix safety and quality shortcomings.
The move follows the release on Feb. 26 of a year-long safety audit by a panel of 24
industry experts appointed by the FAA. More than 50 recommendations were made.
Much of the focus was on Failures in Boeing’s Organization Designation Authority
(ODA), the Safety Management System (SMS),
And the real pressure and fear of retaliation of employees who came forward
with alerts about safety issues during aircraft production at
Boeing Commercial Airplanes (BCA).
In giving Boeing 90 days to come up with a solid safety program,
Administrator Mike Whitaker was blunt: “Boeing must commit to real and profound
improvements. Making foundational change will require a sustained effort from
Boeing’s leadership, (What Leadership_?) -- we are going to hold them accountable
every step of the way, with mutually understood milestones and expectations.”
But Boeing and the FAA have been down this road before.
Boeing and the FAA established the ODA systems ago and the SMS was created
in 2019. The FAA previously fined Boeing for failing to follow through on elements
of both programs.
Boeing is the top aerospace company with the most fines and number of records,
according to the website Violation Tracker.
This is for all types of fines, including aviation safety, environmental, worker safety
(under the USA’s OSHA), etc. Detail of Boeing’s aviation safety violations is below.
Boeing’s number above includes the $2.5bn fine for the 2018-19 MAX Crisis.
Airbus includes a $500m settlement to the US Department of Justice for
ITAR violations.

It's time for accountability. Cash your chips in.
prosecutors determined that the door plug blowout constitutes a breach of that agreement, Boeing will face criminal liability
Is it getting a little hot in here? I think I need to step out for a moment.
