Whistleblower flagged flaws in Boeing 787s sent to Air India a decade ago:
According to the report, two individuals with past ties to Boeing's
Charleston plant described persistent quality issues with the aircraft
dating back more than a decade.

One of them, Cynthia Kitchens, who served as a quality manager at the
plant between 2009 and 2016, reportedly shared internal notes,
photographs and documents to support her claims.
Kitchens alleged that serious manufacturing defects were identified on
several 787s produced during that period, with six of those aircraft
reportedly delivered to Air India.

FAA extends Boeing regulatory delegation program by three years
rather than the five years Boeing had asked for.

The FAA said Thursday before the decision to again extend the
program that "FAA closely monitored specific criteria and saw
improvements in most areas."
The agency added it "will continue to closely monitor Boeing’s
inept and criminal behavior throughout its renewal period."

Boeing, DOJ in Talks to Revise Plea Deal for 737 Max Cгashes

Boeing Co. and US prosecutors said they’re working to hammer out
a new deal to settle a criminal case stemming from two fatal 737
Max cгashes after a federal judge blocked an earlier plan because it included
race as a consideration for selecting a compliance monitor.

The Justice Department is working with Boeing
“to include revisions to the proposed plea agreement that would
address the reasons the Court rejected it,” lawyers for the agency’s
fraud section and the company told the judge Friday in a filing.

Last month, US District Judge Reed O’Connor rejected a previous
plan because it called for an independent monitor to be selected
in accordance with the department’s diversity and inclusion criteria.
He also said the plan would diminish his role in ensuring
Boeing’s compliance with the deal.

The Starliner Astronauts Will Be Stranded Until March

https://www.wired.com/story/boeing-starliner-astronauts-stranded-until-march-nasa/

The return of Barry Wilmore and Suni Williams has been delayed once again,
this time to allow SpaceX and NASA engineers to complete development of a
new Crew Dragon spacecraft.

The crew of the spacecraft arrived at the ISS in June. The objective was to test the Starliner’s comprehensive capabilities, including launch, docking, and return systems. The mission was scheduled to last one week. Five of the capsule’s 28 thrusters failed to function before docking with the ISS. Boeing claimed that its technology could guarantee the safe return of the astronauts. However, NASA expressed doubts and concluded that the risk was too high. The agency entrusted the task to SpaceX.

If Boeing is such a train wreck, perhaps the pay and benifits should reflect that.

Built by the most dysfunctional aerospace companies in the nation’s
history Boeing’s Starliner had been a disaster before it even launched.

Starliner landed back on Earth with more damaged parts that only
reaffirmed NASA’s decision not to trust the company with the lives of
its two astronauts.

Boeing’s first foray into manned space flight has been an unmitigated
Сock up. Starliner launched to the International Space Station with two astronauts onboard and a leaky propellant system in June of 2024
and landed back on Earth two months later without them.
Now, more problems have surfaced during Starliner’s return.

The capsule experienced a temporary blackout of Starliner’s guidance
system during reentry.
And another thruster had failed during its descent,
for a total of 5 thrusters failures of the 28 onboard.

“We view the data and the uncertainty that’s there differently
than Boeing does,” said Jim Free, NASA’s associate administrator.
Boeing’s view is that everything they do is a historic sսccess
even in the face of calamitous dҽath tolls, i.e. Boeing is delusional.

In an August 24 press conference announcing the agency’s decision
on how to end the Starliner test flight.
It’s unusual for NASA officials to publicly discuss how their opinions
differ from those of their contractors, but NASA opinions are fact based.

No surprise if the unmanned Starliar fails to get back to Earth successfully. That absolute piece of space junk built by monkeys, managed by clowns, and overseen by NASA should never have lifted off of the ground in the first place.

(Never A Straight Answer) will provide live coverage of the upcoming activities for Boeing's POS spacecraft departure from the
International Space Station and its bսrn-up in Earth’s atmosphere.

The un-crewed spacecraft will depart from the ISS for a landing at
White Sands Space Harbor in New Mexico, reads the cover story.

NASA's live coverage of return and related activities will stream on
the NASA app, and the agency's website.
All of this, after (Never A Straight Answer) claimed the POS spacecraft
Was not programmed for autonomous flight. in their effort to persuade
The crew to risk their lives, once again.
That didn’t fly, and was quickly taken down.

This did not age well either:
“We’re not stuck on ISS,” Mark Nappi, Boeing’s vice president for its
Commercial Crew Program, told reporters in a news conference on
June 28. “The crew is not in any danger and there’s no increased risk
when we decide to bring Suni and Butch back to Earth.”

Once your addіcted to tall tales and long lies, it’s a habit hard to break.
What’s not hard for people to do however, is never believe a single word
or syllable uttered from the mouths of Boeing, NASA or their propagandist.

The Article Continues:
Ahead of Starliner's return, NASA will host a pre-departure
news conference at 12 p.m., Wednesday, Sept. 4,
from the agency's Johnson Space Center in Houston.
As if the trappings of a professional environment lends credence
to their circus of lying lips.

NASA's Commercial Crew and International Space Station Program
managers and a flight director will participate in this farcical spectacle.

It’s Far Worse Than A Simple Disgrace!

Starliner’s propulsion system, plagued by thruster malfunctions and
helium leaks, posed a great a risk for a crewed return of the spacecraft. Notably, The Boeing spacecraft suffered a helium leak
{Just Before Liftoff}, with the leaks getting worse when Starliner
docked at the ISS.

Who launches a spacecraft with known catastrophic faults?
BOEING AND NASA; Who else could be that incredulously stսpid?
Only the aerospace giants BOEING and NASA have consistently proven
Time and time again, their utter and complete callus disregard for human
life and the families left behind.

Make No Mistake, do not be fooled by their pretence of humanity.
These Sսbhuman Scսm Are Absolute Monsters

Good thing I left Boeing to help SpaceX become the dominant Space company in the world. SpaceX is now saving lives and Boeing is still losing/trading lives for nepo executive wealth generation.
