The Dreamliner has been flawed for years, The FAA - along with the whole world - knows that.

Wasn’t a recent airline whistleblower found dead?
I hope this guy’s got his “paperwork” in order...
Boeing knows what to do with whistle blowers, don’t they?
Well, he’s a goner now.
If passengers are still crammed in like cattle, what is dreamy about it?
Your flying along when crack..snap..pop..shred, you are outside the aircraft which is just a bunch of shredded carbon fiber pieces.
I found this claim interesting -“I literally saw people jumping on the pieces of the airplane to get them to align,” Salehpour said. “By jumping up and down, you’re deforming parts so that the holes align temporarily … and that’s not how you build an airplane.”
Okay, if heavy maintenance is doing that on a plane with say 5-10 YEARS on it, sadly that’s somewhat normal since as the plane flies it’s subject to dynamic forces and literally bends. So any parts made to production blueprints may need “help” to fit.
If this happened on NEW airplanes still on the production line where everything is fit with jigs, NOW THAT IS VERY SERIOUS!!!
I was told that the company who performed the wing testing thought the wing had a critical design flaw that would lead to the wing box failing.
Whistleblower Sam Salehpour, a Boeing engineer, alleges that Boeing took shortcuts when manufacturing its 777 and 787 Dreamliner jets, and that the risks could become catastrophic as the airplanes age.
His formal complaint to the Federal Aviation Administration, filed in January and made public on Tuesday, is not specific to the newer 737 Max jet that has been grounded twice…
Salehpour on said his complaint raises “two quality issues that may dramatically reduce the life of the planes.”
“COULD”
“MAY”
Gee. Thanks for the hard data Sam.
Let’s destroy BOEING because of it.
How many have crashed?
