Summary

Whistleblowers at Boeing allege widespread safety lapses, including missing or defective parts and improper assembly practices, driven by pressure to maintain production schedules.

A January incident where a door panel blew off a new 737-9 Max mid-flight has sparked investigations, with insiders like Sam Mohawk revealing that thousands of faulty parts may have been installed on planes.

Other whistleblowers describe similar concerns over quality control failures, managerial indifference, and retaliation for speaking out.

Boeing denies safety risks but faces ongoing FAA investigations amid heightened scrutiny over its practices.

I’ll just ignore my family with noise-cancelling headphones

Have you ever tried noise cancelling headphones? They are great for background noise and conversations that aren't right next to you but you'll have no problem actually talking to your precious family during said flight. In fact, it makes it a lot easier to hear the person next to you

demand I sit in a specific seat

Yeah? That is a pretty normal thing if you aren't buying the most budget of budget tickets. And you wouldn't subject your family to Ryanair, now would you?

and make my wife and child sit elsewhere.

You do you. But generally speaking, seats come in 2s and 3s. So you should be fine to sit with them. Or not. Up to you.

So... what is next on the docket to establish why your suffering is unique and the entire world should reconfigure to make you happy?

Except that was absolutely not true the last time I flew. Let me guess, I used the wrong kind of noise canceling headphones.

Really? It's a normal thing to demand that I get the comfortable seat and my wife and daughter don't?

You do you. But generally speaking, seats come in 2s and 3s. So you should be fine to sit with them. Or not. Up to you.

And, apparently, the solution you're offering me is to make them uncomfortable at my expense.

So… what is next on the docket to establish why your suffering is unique and the entire world should reconfigure to make you happy?

What the fuck are you even talking about? I am reconfiguring by not flying. The rest of the world can do what it wants.

Why do you care if I don't like flying anyway?

Nobody is telling you to fly first class. In fact, I specifically mentioned an aisle seat because I am cheap as hell. If you rae buying three adjacent seats you probably have one of those anyway

And, apparently, the solution you’re offering me is to make them uncomfortable at my expense.

Yes. I am specifically telling you that you must put your child in a shirt made out of human hairs to flight

Why do you care if I don’t like flying anyway?

I don't give a fuck what you do. In fact, it amuses me that you are the kind of miserable sad sack who has to complain that the entire world is conspiring against you.

But I also think you're spewing nonsense and it is fun to highlight that so that nobody takes you seriously.

I don’t give a fuck what you do.

This whole discussion and your entire post before that point shows that's just a silly lie.

If you don't give a fuck, go away and stop arguing with me about why I don't enjoy flying.

In fact, it amuses me that you are the kind of miserable sad sack who has to complain that the entire world is conspiring against you.

Please quote me doing that. You can't, because it's a lie.

Edit: If anything is conspiring against me, it's my DNA.
