Boeing falsified records for 787 jet sold to Air Canada. It developed a fuel leak.
Boeing staff falsified records for a 787 jet built for Air Canada which developed a fuel leak ten months into service in 2015....The records stated that manufacturing work had been completed when it had not. (www.cbc.ca) Más...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
Yes, the Air Transat crew mismanaged their fuel problem and maybe got lucky with their track choice/assignment; but let's give credit where it is due. As I recall, they ran out of fuel while still well offshore but got that airplane down not only on dry ground, not only on an airport, but on a runway, flapless, and stopped on that runway - at NIGHT.
What angers me most is that this US federal and Washington state tax supported company virtually destroyed Canada's growing commercial aircraft manufacturing industry with its dishonest attack on Bombardier. Boeing's moral and manufacturing decline seems to coincide with its greedy executives/investors decided to move its headquarters from the boonies (Seattle) to the big city (Chicago). I don't recall the reasons given for this move and can only assume that it was to cater to the wishes of the company board members.
Israel has Boeing !
So do many other countries. What's your point?
Another Boeing problem - and only now we get to know about this? - seems like the FAA needs an overhaul too!

The FAA's budget was cut, so they had to farm out inspections and certifications to the manufacturer. Tell your Congressional Representative and your Senator to boost the FAA's budget. They won't do it without pressure from the public.
