This article on Newsweek reports on the experiences at Boeing of a whistleblower.

I have seen similar reports elsewhere.

The whistleblower, Santiago Paredes, worked at Boeing and Spirit (a Boeing subcontractor). One of the things he said was "Many employees are afraid to fly on planes they helped build because they knew how they were constructed and the defects they had. This fear reflects a problematic culture within Spirit and Boeing." This is extremely worrying.

Boeing's problems continue to get worse:

• It looks like Boeing is about to plead guilty to fraud in relation to the safety issues with the 737 Max, and will have to pay an enormous fine as a result;
• The Boeing Starliner is still stuck on the ISS (International Space Station) because of several technical issues;
• There is a good chance that Boeing will not win any more business from NASA because of the Starliner problems;
• People (relatives of crash victims and survivors of other incidents) are not done suing Boeing (and never will be if the accidents continue);
• Airlines are not happy with Boeing, with cancelled orders, and more recently one airline returning a plane to Boeing after yet another incident of a wheel falling off;
• The FAA says that thousands of Boeing aircraft need their oxygen generators checked, according to this story on Yahoo News.

Although it is not likely that the US government will allow the total collapse of Boeing, the company will probably be unrecognisable after all the chickens come home to roost.
