I'm wondering why it took this long for Boeing to be brought before the American people to answer for their complete debacle of airplane malfunctions. I saw so many of them over the past many months, and for me and Mom, it only served to reinforce how we don't like flying. I hope my dad doesn't have to fly a 747 back home from Ghana, because most of this half-year has been emotionally draining enough.
But it took this long for the truth to come out? I'm hearing that whistleblowers who were in the know were facing retaliation from Boeing employees. Obviously, someone didn't want the beans spilled here, but retaliation? This isn't an Italian mafia organization; last time I checked, it's an airplane manufacturer.
Looks like the only reason any Boeing staff members would want to silence whistleblowers was likely as displayed on the sign of one angry passenger, whose daughter died in a Boeing plane crash in 2019. If I remember correctly, the sign read:
"Money over passengers!"
That perspective seems to corrupt a lot of businesses these days, but Boeing deciding to keep the curtain down in the interest of making more and more money off of plane tickets is on a higher scale of unforgiveable. This could very well backfire on them and also on traveling by plane as a whole. A good chunk of people worldwide are afraid of getting on an airplane to travel, and this scenario only proves to make them even more apprehensive. Now that includes me, and perhaps my mom too.
