A major Boeing supplier was already facing allegations from one former employee that supervisors routinely ignore mistakes and send substandard quality parts to Boeing. Now, as quality control problems at Boeing and its suppliers receive intense scrutiny following a Jan. 5 blowout aboard an Alaska Airlines 737 Max 9, another ex-Spirit AeroSystems employee has come forward to support the whistleblower's claims. Spun out of Boeing two decades ago, Wichita, Kan.-based Spirit AeroSystems builds large sections of several Boeing jetliner models, including the main body of the 737 Max jets assembled ...

A quality control lapse at Boeing discovered in December has proved less significant than it at first appeared. Airlines worldwide have inspected the rudders on the more than 1,400 Boeing 737 MAX aircraft in service globally for loose bolts and found no faults. After an international airline discovered a rudder bolt with a missing nut while performing routine maintenance in December, Boeing inspected the MAXs it had under assembly and found one other instance of a loose rudder bolt on an undelivered jet. Though the fault was not considered an immediate safety concern, on Dec. 27 Boeing then re...

Last year ended better for Boeing than Wall Street had projected, yet when the earnings details were released Wednesday, the healthy cash flow didn't seem to matter much now. "Boeing's world changed on January 5th when the Alaska Airlines door blew off, and so anything before that date is now of less relevance," financial analyst Rob Stallard of Vertical Research wrote a note to investors. Boeing lost $2.2 billion in 2023, the fifth loss in five bad years, but the best result since 2019. A few weeks ago, that might have been taken as a sign that in 2024 Boeing might finally make it back into t...

Secretary of State Antony Blinken was briefly left stranded in Switzerland on Wednesday after the Boeing plane intended to fly him back to the United States suffered a critical failure caused by an oxygen leak, according to multiple reports. Blinken had only just boarded the modified Boeing 737 jet in Zurich when the issue became apparent, CNN reported. The aircraft — a military version of the Boeing 737 Next Generation — was ultimately deemed unsafe, and passengers were forced to deplane. Another smaller plane was chartered for the secretary. Others traveling with Blinken, including members o...

After a door plug on an Alaska Airlines-operated Boeing 737 MAX 9 blew off mid-flight, Elon Musk and other commentators quickly fingered a culprit: wokeness, with several raising that Boeing had made a minor change that added diversity, equity and inclusion as one factor in determining employee executive bonuses. This is so facially absurd as to be detached from reality. In fact, it is only even fully intelligible to people already enmeshed in a sort anti-woke industrial complex that has developed in the right over the past few years for reasons from political pressure to good old fashioned ra...
