The Turbulent History Of Boeing

Rating: 4.0; Vote: 1
It's no secret that flying can be stressful, but some travel stories sound like nightmares compared to minor inconveniences like long lines and delayed flights. Over the years, multiple airlines have found themselves in hot water for how they treated passengers, especially in the age of social media and viral videos. These incidents include a senior citizen being dragged off a United flight, Delta kicking an entire family off a plane, and Boeing's CEO stepping down after a series of accidents, some of which resulted in human fatalities.

The reason why companies, even huge companies with an insane monopoly over the market such a Boeing, do things like this is simple: Greed. The more planes you can push in a short period of time = more money, and its all funnelled to the very top. Sad reality we live in where earning more money, even when they have more than enough, is worth more than the safety of all of their passengers.

Boeing used to be run by engineers. It was known for quality and treating its employees well. Things really started falling apart after the merger when they switched over to being run by businessmen rather than engineers. Even back then, their employees were predicting that this wasn’t going to end well. Who could’ve predicted that prioritizing profits over safety would ever end poorly!

There's no procedure to disable MCAS, it's impossible to disable. What the pilots in the second crash did was disable the trim elevator.

This is the same company that designed and built the BUFF (B-52. That iconic aircraft is older than many of the pilots flying it. The GRANDPA BUFF is forever. Changing topography for over 75 years.

Before merger with McDonnell Douglas, Boeing's focus was on quality. But after the merger McDonnell Douglas' culture of profit over quality became part of Boeing's management ethos.

This is what happens when a company outsources too much. Especially to India. My brother recently retired from Boeing and he says it’s far worse than what’s being told.

Boeing, with the help of the FAA, simply warning about the MCAS problem was the moment they truly broke my heart. Of course, it all starts back with that McDonell Douglas merger.

I had to stop and look up the current usage of 747s that were all over the airlines when I was a kid! Only a handful are still around and they're no longer manufactured!
reply

Yes, Boeing has been having serious issues. That said, planes from every major manufacturer declare emergencies on a daily basis.
