Bad News For Boeing 

Take a shot everytime we get bad news about Boeing.

Boeing is probably doing a cost study to determine if they can economically kill their way out of this..

Consequences of chasing money and profit over quality and safety😡😡😡😡

Come on now! They’ve only been building the plane for 20 years! Give them a break, they’re still working out teething problems! 😂😂😂😂

i wouldnt be surprised if they forgot to install a wing😅😢

William Boeing is rolling over in his grave.

All these quality issues about Charlotte factory always remind me the Al jazera documentary in 2014.

So The WHISLEBLOWERS WAS RIGHT.Great Info

This has been decades in the making. I recall my LS6 syndicate partner who was a senior RAF engineering officer some 30+ years ago, he went over to Boeing to review the build of the RAF AWACS. They were the last 707 type airframes built so the production line had been abandoned by those who could and he was shocked to find a several of people on the production line who did not even have the english skills to read the technical documents for the work they were doing, they thus along with the management had no idea if they had done it correctly "other than it looked right". He rebooked his flight back to the UK so that it was on an A300 and admitted that the experience gave him many sleepless nights over potential issues in the RAF AWACS fleet.

lol.. the beginning 😂😂

What are all the airlines waiting to turn their back to Boeing?

My BIG concern is what “quality escapes” (that’s a Boeing term) have happened on the more than 1,000 in service 787’s? Let’s be clear… this was tensioning from the bolt not the nut on some 900 fasteners for each aircraft. Anyone who’s been around any engine/build knows you tension from the nut! Come on Boeing… new board now!

The next problem will be when they find bill who was taking a nap and got built-in to the plane

Judging from the trend, any news about Beoing in the coming ten years will only be bad news. No prediction is needed.

I said it back in January and many times since. Shut down all production lines. Retrain all assembly workers on the correct way to do their job and then monitor them to ensure they are following the correct procedures.

Almost like that dead whistleblower was correct about 787 fuselages having manufacturing issues…

I really like the sighing in the beginning

Brit here, at least its a glimmer of going in the right way, in that they (Boeing) reported it themselves. The Media, which have now woken up to the tragedies of two years ago, is picking on every little thing that rises. Boeing have to take this on the chin and keep trying to get back to where they started before the Wall Street take over. They have a long way to go-it will take years not months. Just hope and pray, that the aircraft already passed and sold by this management hold together.

What's actually gone wrong is that the bolts were being done up to the required torque, not the nuts. That generally results in the fastening being under-torqued. The big question is, for how long has that been going on? It indicates a degree of inexperience on the part of the personnel concerned, which in turn indicates a lack of qualified supervision, and a lack of independent quality control checks on the production line (it's known to have impacted "some jets"). Reuters also has an article from the day before about the FAA stating that it hadn't got sufficient eyes on Boeing prior to the door blow out. That's quite a revealing admission. It's also suggestive of the FAA in effect taking on the QC role that Boeing should be staffing itself. The FAA has said that it's permanently boosted the use of in-person inspectors. This is a terrible thing, because it's something that is not necessary in a healthy company; the company should have sufficient QC resources of its own to be able to keep fault rates adequately low. With the FAA seemingly doing more of their own inspections, what's the incentive for the company to get its own QC resourcing right? The FAA can't do everything. Instead of checking aircraft, the FAA inspectors should be checking the work of the company's QC staff; but it sounds like that's not the case.

Just a matter of time before a wing fuselage separations.😮

Thank God we have Airbus.

2:37 Did that Air India 787 toggle reverse thrust again after stowing it?

Boeing again... why I am not surprised?

The problem here is PAY. Boeing pay according to region. Charleston, SC we have Bosch, Mercedes and volvo but they don’t want to compare with Delta in Atlanta and American in Charlotte. Many mechanics with FAA certified with A &P license left [ I know at least 80 people left why……Boeing pay $32/hr while American and Delta pay $65/hr at 5 year mark. Mechanic with A&P have to attend 2 years of aviation school and pass knowledge and hands on test. A&P mechanic possesses knowledge, hands on and give a hoot. After Covid, Boeing lost 75% of the experience people and replaced by what we call BMWSSS…Burger King, McDonald’s, Wendy’s, Sonic, Starbucks and delinquency students. Many mechanics fled due to higher pay and benefit [free travel, housing, healthcare, kids school, etc…] at the airlines. Emirates offer tax free, spouse benefits and child care.

Nice intro with the sigh.... You're loving this.. You thrive on Boeing's misfortunes..

Ahhh.....Boeing

A330 NEO, at least we know where is right and where is left!

Sack the ENTIRE board. All of them.

What about the Dutch Roll incident? M/Melb.

Of course we are going to hear about these issues; but this subject isn't new. Boeing is being vetted. Expect more to come.

Regardless of the seemingly endless chain of negative Boeing news, I take this with a positive light. On one hand, we shake our collective heads at the lack of management oversight, and QC. On the other hand, it is Boeing reporting all of these lapses as they root through all of their manufacturing processes, and allow employees to point out issues. The end result is that Boeing is moving in the right direction. I'm sure we'll hear about more as time goes on. But now we know that these manufacturing anf QC processes are being corrected. This pain is what Boeing needs if they're going to heal and emerge a stronger and better company.

They need to move Dreamliner production back to Everett already.

can you also cover the case with Qatar Airways in Athens, where passengers were kept inside the plane for quite long, due to technical aircraft issues? Because it is not that usual for a "five star" airline

Yes the refrain “it’s a good occasion to address the issues and work for better quality” has been going on since the second 737 800 Max accident. Every time they cannot shift the blame to pilots or other factors they “take the occasion to seriously address quality issues”. They will never do it.

Bean counters ascendant. Never should have left seattle for chicago and south carolina.

aghhhhhhhh!!!!! big boeing fan here but hate to see all this happen to them !!!!

For goodness sake, just shut the company!!!!

It would be incumbent on Boeing to have additional Quality Control Inspectors at the 787 production facility in South Carolina! With all the manufacturing and technical problems that seem to plague Boeing, I have become apprehensive as a retired Airline employee to travel on any Boeing aircraft with the exception of the 757 which in itself is an aging no longer manufactured aircraft. The stockholders of this once powerhouse of American ingenuity in engineering, design and manufacturing must evaluate and redirect the future if any of this once Bluechip corporation!

So... are they _having_ more quality _slips,_ or just finding more of things that were already happening?

With this scare. Why are you showing the British airways livery.

Many key engineers and senior assembly employees have left Boeing in droves over the years over the shift in philosophies from in house proper engineering, subsystems manufacturing, quality control, Safety Management Systems, etc to the bean counter mentality outsourcing, ending Safety Management Systems, key quality control assurance departments and Boeing employees acting as FAA quality control inspectors, etc. after the merger of McDonnell Douglas.

I am sure they will find another management employee to be fired for the failure of the employee not doing his/her job correctly. Maybe returning to a Performance based pay scale and raise calculation would make quality better. When a collective bargaining agreement makes the best and the worst empoyees the same in regards to wages and promotion, you get a lethargic employee base that eventually decides that they wont work to higher levels when others aren't. And let's not start on Management's inability to remove workers from the manufacturing process that are just not working above par.

Damn

Si hubo errores o horrores y es en comienzo de reelanzar todo está bien ya que tripl7 esta más bajo de ojo que no pase más sino se desde día 1 éxitos cero problemas

These are not slips anymore!

What next for grounding boeing

Airbus should rush to make a 350-NEO and also an extended version. Issues might happen with the 777X as well

Really quality issues are at every aerospace company .the Faa is out to get them and the media. The industry has these issues, hence forth why there are quality departments… what are your qualifications, @DJ aviation, please report whatever your doing from an aerospace professional

How does such an iconic & respected company that helped shaped the foundation of aviation for 100+ years fall so far so fast?! It’s a rhetorical que; I know the answer. SMH also DJ. ✈️🤨

I book my air ticket base on which airline and which date is "not" operated by Boeing plane.

Hey DJ, This simply is unjust control of regulators that'd thought they've whole heartedly the right scrutinization of the organization. Simply, everyone is bracing for government sway in their departments.

The MCAS debacle did not result in build quality improvements because it was not a quality control issue. It was an _extremely_ dangerous "fix" for changed aircraft aerodynamic characteristics introduced almost clandestinely, without documenting it or introducing in the training syllabus. We must not forget that SourtWest was instrumental in this mass murder, as they pressured Boeing to somehow avoid making them retrain their MAX plots, be it just for an hour or two in a simulator. So, MCAS was entirely deliberate (albeit with flawed failure mode and risk analysis - Boeing just hoped it would work). Build quality and quality control issues are completely separate from this - a combination of good old sloppiness, corner-cutting in efforts to push aircraft out as quickly as possible, and "I guess they will do it" attitude between Spirit Aerosystems and Boeing proper. One good thing came out of the latter - Airbus aborted, at the last moment, their plan to spin off some of their structures manufacturing.

Why all these problems. Boeing knows how to install the fasteners, AND the people DAM WELL KNOW HOW TO DO IT PROPERLY. Why did supervision not notice it early and not stop work and get it done the right way . SABOTAGE ??????? This type of error are too elementary to happen. Was the installer trained to install the fasteners with the correct tools? Come on people at BOEING ---YOU ARE LETTING YOURSELVES DOWN VERY BADLY. you must do better.

Boeing- it never ends...

Profit over safty

What a surprise The Q in Boeing stands for quality

Ah, of course, more scrutiny bring more issues… that is the problem, blame scrutiny… After all if nobody know before the fireball ball nobody can blame the unproperly torqued bolts…

These Boeing wows are killing them. This is coming from a plane that is in service for more than a decade. How much more on the new plane 777x. how many trouble it would give.

Scrutiny Invites greater scrutiny. Take a train.

Soon, Boeing will get a huge order for 787s. Ethiopian Airlines or an Arabian airline...... Just to keep their stock from falling. I won't be buying anything they are saying.

Never Boeing... Never Boeing...

FRESH? THESE ARE THE SAME QUALITY ESCAPE ISSUES THEIR WORKERS WERE TRYING TO WARN US ABOUT FOR YEARS. SHAME ON BOEING.

Boeing shouuld send all of their Quality Management team to AirBus to learn how it should be done. After a rigorous exam they can return to the US and implement what they learned in Europe.

I can only imagine the quality issues if China mass produces commercial jets.

Embraer, please design a 737 competitor. There's more than enough demand for planes and that demand isn't going away anytime soon. Yes, it's risky, but Boeing is digging itself in anyway. Even if you have to use funds from the Saudi sovereign fund....

When is the management in charge sent to jail!

Did you say nine HUNDRED?!

Just wait until they switch from Imperial Measurements to Metric...................

Good to see the greed and deception come back to bite them.

Perhaps the FAA needs to extend regulation over everyone who places their hands on an airplane like they do on A&P mechanics. At lockheed I saw too much don't give a F@(& about building planes because there are no consequences for bad work practices.

What the hell is wrong with Boeing😮😮😮😮

Oops!...I Did It Again 🎵

Boeing has completely shat the bed, the star liner is a joke and broken on the iss, the 787 is now a disaster waiting to happen, and the max has gremlins.

man what is going on 13 years in production these issues shouldn't be happening on the 787 production line....so they have been building the 787 wrong for years ..just mind boggling

If Boeing was a restaurant on Nightmare Kitchens, they'd be shut down with all the malpractice.

But ... I watch the content blindly ...

Push the planes through and give the proceeds to share holders and finally forget engineering and push Six Sigma models of profits.

They urgently have to sack all the DEI hires and go back to hiring employees based on ability and merit.

Air Riyadh just started using 787 in Saudi Arabia 🇸🇦!If something is wrong that airline will be going bankrupt!

Roses are red, Violets are blue. Boeing is screwed.

Like it or not if say Boeing where to fail, not airbus nor china could make up the production.

Bad News For Boeing - now you understand why I call it the 787 Nightmare Liner. Time will tell but were going to see a major incident of one of these pieces of crap will fall apart somewhere over the Pacific. Wait and see. The best aircraft in the sky is the Airbus a350.

boeing or not boeing !!!!! that is the question......

I am so tired of this. I don't want a 787 grounding, that would absolutely blow the aviation industry up.

I see all the comments about the doom of Boeing. Not surprising in this vlog, however, I have to set the facts straight yet again. Yes, Boeing reported the issue to the FAA. Boeing discovered the issue and reported it. No discovery was made by anyone. This is NOT a quality slip if Boeing discovers an issue and reports it. If someone wanted to report something positive about this, they will highlight the fact that Boeing is seeing an issue with its staff that it can fix and is fixing it. Another positive spin would be to lead with the fact that this is not a safety issue. This is an adjustment on torque wrenches. If anyone here thinks that Airbus would be 100% clean if someone went through their operations with a fine tooth comb, please purchase my maximum strength snake oils. Supplies are limited. Again, SMH.

As a long time Boeing fan, I am severely disheartened. Boeing has gone down the same path as GM, LG, Maytag, Ford… eventually all of our lives will just be filled with non-stop recalls and garbage with a planned obsolescence of 5 years.

At the end whatever the power and weight of US as the N°1 economy in the world , these particular sector of industry is build on confidence , and the less you can say is that is gone , the true culprit is that Boeing was betting on the ever confidence of his guest network built on the past and the super power of diplomatic relation all around the world , even if Airbus was there just behind they choose to put the pedal on the metal over security in order to keep the lead and increase profit .....bad choice and even if Airbus have some problem also they were second and knew that if they want to be competitive they had to be irreproachable and inventive with new choice , now Boeing have to rebuild their brand as a second and learn from all their costly errors

Come on Boeing let’s get your s- - - t in gear. I worked all my life in automotive factories , never had a recall but did have a third party verify every party going out for a extended period of time due to defect. It’s just funny why now is this all happening?.

Look at the latest Boeing Starliner sending 2 astronauts to ISS!!! Both are stucked in the ISS awaitng Helium leak to be fixed!!! 😅😅😅. God bless them.

Boeing is done

Not fit for purpose - Simple’s

I am an Indian airplane enthusiast. Really 2024 is the worst year for Boeing.Bad news of this planemaker is coming repeatedly.I am fond of both Airbus and Boeing. Why is this happening again and again? Sometimes I feel scared when I think if the continuous bad news of Boeing leads this company to ruin.Oh God! Please don't let this happen. Dj and your other viewers,all of you are being requested by me to pray to God to give back the lost glory of Boeing.Without Boeing,the aviation world will become a graveyard. Boeing should be as normal as before just like Airbus.

The unions have been attacking the SC facility since it opened. Improper torquing could be a bolt torqued to 85 lbs instead of 90 lbs. But when you say improper bolt tightening, people are thinking no torque at all. Right now, it is "pile on" time for everyone who has any beef with Beoing.

C'mon boeing get a new ceo and a new board of director's

🎉

Lol at Boeing... the very fresh news is that their space shuttles are also defective 😁...

Prosecute Muilenberg!!!

Key word MAY have checked torque wrong...

Boeing needs to get schooled at AB on how to side step all these fails. AB is much better at burring them. 🙃

BOEING Bosses Only Evaluate Interests in Negotiating for Gross-profits
