    Dont think this is really bad, just more interesting.

    Boeing 737 Max supplier Spirit AeroSystems is defending its controversial decision to use Dawn dish soap as a lubricant for the aircraft’s door seals. Spirit’s use of soap and other odd, everyday objects like hotel key cards and wet cheesecloths to perform maintenance drew immediate public scrutiny last month. Now, Spirit claims both the dish soap and key card use cases were not only justified, but innovative.

      Second Boeing whistleblower dies

      Joshua Dean, a former quality auditor at Spirit AeroSystems, went public with claims that the company’s leadership ignored manufacturing defects in Boeing’s 737 MAX. Spirit AeroSystems is a Boeing supplier.

      Dean, 45, had an active lifestyle and was believed to be in good health prior to his “sudden” death on Tuesday, following the onset of a fast-moving infection. He was stricken with Influenza B and MRSA, and developed pneumonia, according to Fox59.

      He spent two weeks in critical condition before he died on Tuesday in Oklahoma, according to The Seattle Times.

        The problem is they’re everywhere. It seems every other week I’m on a 737

              Is this happening more frequently, or is it just being reported more frequently.

                  Bad year for Boeing, GREAT year for Boeing’s CEO!

                  https://www.cnn.com/2024/05/17/investing/boeing-shareholders-vote-to-approve-usd33-million-ceo-pay-package/index.html

                  Shareholders of embattled airplane maker Boeing approved a pay package of nearly $33 million for outgoing CEO Dave Calhoun at the company’s annual general meeting on Friday.
                  .
                  That’s the highest package ever paid to the company’s CEO and a 45% increase from the $22.6 million he received for 2022. The vast majority of the bump comes from a giant stock bonus granted on top of his more-than-a-million-dollar salary.

                            Yes. It is difficult to understand how that could possibly happen with an aircraft company. Some things are a sacred trust.

                                    I remember hearing that public companies have three people to answer to

                                    customers
                                    employees
                                    shareholders

                                    If you focus to much on one of the three (and there is the appearance that focus on shareholders has gotten too much in recent history), overall and long term, it is not good for the company.
