- A former Boeing quality-control manager alleges that for years workers at its 787 Dreamliner factory in Everett, Washington, routinely took parts that were deemed unsuitable to fly out of an internal scrap yard and put them back on factory assembly lines. In his first network TV interview, Merle Meyers, a 30-year veteran of Boeing, described to CNN what he says was an elaborate off-the-books practice that Boeing managers at the Everett factory used to meet production deadlines, including taking damaged and improper parts from the company’s scrapyard, storehouses and loading docks. #CNN #news

Please someone watch over this guy's safety. I'm afraid he will be involved in an "accident"
Oh stuff it
He safe trust us
EXACTLY! Right out of my mouth.
AMEN
The first thing Boeing whistleblowers should tell the press is "I am NOT depressed, am in great health and have NO intentions on EVER taking my own life."
2 Boeing whistleblowers have died questionably. I hope he stays safe.
Police official investigation first whistleblower was suicide. Note was in his hand writing, second one medical issue. Go by evidence not feelings. Not trying to defend Boeing. CEOs need to go to jail.
@alexrebmann1253 jobs can literally kill people from stress. Why did that person commit suicide?
@@alexrebmann1253you think his suicide had no cause? Of course Boeing is responsible
@@alexrebmann1253 Yes because murders are never covered up to look like suicides....let me guess you work for Boeing.
@@rooster1012 No I do not work for Boeing. I worked for Yellow Freight. A company that closed doors last year because of CEO greed
hope this guy won't end up like the other Boeing whistleblower just before appearing in court...
I worked in quality in a watch making company. Even within our business, where the worst case scenario is someone arrives late at an appointment, putting non conform parts back into the ok inventory is a big no no. This report is nuts. This goes beyond incompetence. People need to go to jail.
Watch your mouth mate. They are now hiring hitmen to delete any blow back
I briefly worked QC at a place that I soon realized only treated *some* parts they made for planes with aerospace standards; half of the machinists' personal tools weren't even numbered in the gage & tool traceability system, a *requirement* for aviation manufacturing. The machine tools and gages were, but even someone's personal screw guns and stuff are required to be traced, too. The products were just cabin interior cosmetic stuff for some SEA luxury commuter service, nothing structural or otherwise related to flight, but still. Had to leave, & scratched aviation QC off the list over the general vibe it gave me. It's pretty sad when electronics manufacturers are more exacting and accountable about even something as minor as a spring clip, but Boeing is over here just literally putting nonconforming parts into planes.
Fr Boeing acting like this tier 3 auto manufacturer I worked for, we totally just wiped some parts down with a shiny spray and sent it. They were mostly just aesthetic panels for the interiors of cars lmfao. Boeing is insane
@@HanTheProphet Basically every cabin trim piece we made. lol
You’re assuming this is true.
The guy was fired, his credibility is shit.
Now, why would Boeing do that? $$$$$$$$$$$$$
Becau$e of rea$on$.
CREAM
To increase CEO's salary by 45%.
They know exactly where those parts are. There is something called “traceability”.
Not necessarily true, in theory they should know but that’s only if they are actually following procedures
Ya but the CEO makes 45 million a year
Nope, another whistleblower said they pressure employees not to log faults and violations on paper/emails specifically to avoid a paper trail.
Very disturbing
Greed is a trait Americans cherish as a virtue.
Not just Americans, this country was stolen and colonized on greed LoL
Yeah, like this doesn't happen all over the world 😂😂😂. Grow up, kid
@@RomanesEuntDomus. Shalom
@@RomanesEuntDomus.No it does not. Poor deflection
Shut the entire company down and indict and convict
We can’t do that. This is a government sanctioned company that feeds the United States so much money and gives the USA a great deal of the power we are able to wield around the world.
trump says we need less oversight ....nothing to see here lol
First, we believe in innocent until proven guilty and second you can’t shut the entire company down even if they were guilty and liable you would have to ask yourself what damages were suffered. You would have to look back over the companies entire history and say how many aircraft have fallen out of the sky because of this, and they have a great record. Don’t think about it in that capacity because of the events that have made the news but how many times has an airplane taken off and landed and there was nothing to say but see you when you get back from vacation.
Also, you can’t shut the company down for one reason guess what they make for us that we all use every day they make military grade aircraft and they do it specifically for the United States we don’t let any other company do it because we only want an American company doing it . If you shut them down who’s going to make your military aircraft you don’t want China to do it.
It’s a case of Too Big to Fail
Shutting it down is nuts. Boeing would cause economic disruption around the world. It needs to be taken over, not shut down.
Given what Boeing does to whistle-blowers, grateful to this man: first emails attempting accountability then eventually brave enough to speak up!
Correction: Fasteners are not inconsequential!
Yup, like the bolts that “fasten” the door to the plane. Good old CNN
Coffins with wings.
Airborne? More like Airdead.
Boeing has put all of us at risk!
Boeing, like Airbus, used to adhere to strict quality standards. What has happened in recent times can only be attributed to management wanting to maximize profits, ebit, shareholder value, etc - the results of that greed are now apparent! Shame on Boeing management!
It's all about the Almighty Dollar! Disgusting!
THIS IS AN ATTRIBUTE OF EVERY COMPANY NOWADAYS NOT JUST BOEING

But, but, but.. corporations are always more efficient!
They brough in incredibly well paid and incredibly bad management that sought to fill their pockets. Even if they are let go, they will still earn mansions and yachts for bringing an excellent company into disrepute and potentially, utter failure.
And HUGE severance packages.
Only brand new parts for public airplanes is beyond mandatory, anything less is negligent manslaughter
If it's Boeing, I ain't going!!
These Boeing stories are each more egregious than the last. There needs to be a deluge of news coverage until Boeing's stock is worth pennies or just jail all of the executives... those are the only ways that the company will change.
US Capitalism won't tolerate a fix along those lines. A few aircraft falling out of the sky and killing hundreds of people or random door plugs blowing off is just the price of doing business.
I thought they only had a supplier's quality issue. To my knowledge you normally don't scrap, or judge a non-conformed part you bought to be scrapped. You return them so the supplier sorts out their own shit.
So these were parts they made in-house?
About 10 years ago, I had lunch with a Boeing engineer in St. Louis who expressed sincere concerns about things that were going on in that facility. I don't recall much detail now. But I remember the look of concern on his face.
The bus or train is looking like a safer alternative 😂
The US is way behind in high speed passenger rail it's essential to give substandard airlines and Boeing a wake up.
How did the bad parts leave the supplier's manufacturing facility?
The supplier is Boeing itself; these were parts sent away from Boeing's plant in Everett for scrap processing at another plant. So recycling what can be (sorting out metals to be melted back down and stuff), and destroying what can't. I've heard of things getting sent to the MRB and getting accepted by the customer even if they aren't perfect, but I've never heard of something literally sent off to be scrapped as being brought back. Scrapping would usually happen after being failed in MRB, or if it was inspected in-process, it was so clearly bad off the line that the inspectors, or one of the project managers, just sent it straight to scrap. So... Somebody was going outside the process to take those parts back because of some failed quota.
This sounds to me like something went wrong in one of the production lines, like one of their machines started slipping into nonconformity or breaking parts, or the machine itself broke down. Then, the fix to the machine was probably taking too long for their deadline and they were going to miss a quota, and somebody was likely already on the hook for that happening more than once. So... They went for any parts that they could find. This was some higher-up trying to save their own skin at the cost of everyone else.
This guy safety is at risk big-time those big corporations are mass killers of people like him
Great 👍🏻 job, Boeing!
Way to inspire confidence during one ☝🏽 of busiest travel times of the year.
A Q/C inspector let this happen for how long …?
No, not the inspectors. This was likely engineers/quality managers being "told what to do" (read: threatened) by people above them. If this was MRB'd, then used, it means the customer knowingly accepted nonconforming parts.
@@Knight-Bishop I heard the Charlestown assembly line is .. too small to be a nation yet too large to be an insane asylum
Jesus said "So it will be at the end of the age, the angels will come forth and take out the wicked from among the righteous, and will throw them into the furnace of fire, in that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth." Matthew 13:49-50. Jesus also said "You are my friends if you do what I command you." John 15:14. Jesus taught that the only way to be saved is to choose him as your Lord and Master, repent and believe that he died for the sins of his people on the cross see John 14:6.
Jesus also said "George Moncayo is a doo doo head."
Poor guy. Pray for his widow.
Moment of silence for both whistleblowers who was murdered😢.
50k doesn’t sound like an escaped defect, sounds like the process
😮This Is Just SICKENING 😢
I am a quality control inspector for aerospace parts. Bad parts are supposed to be cut in half so they can't be installed on an aircraft...my question is how come they didn't destroy them? 🤔
I hope this guy is in witness protection.
Make in America! Imagine, if this shit happens in China. HOLY F***!
But as the GOP says "wE dOn'T nEeD mOrE rEgUlaTiOnS"
So 50,000 parts, that means there will be roughly around the same amount but in crashes.
This happens, the manufacturer forces their workers to use non-conforming parts. I’m surprised more issues haven’t surfaced with GE engines for this reason.
The first thing Boeing whistleblowers should tell the press is "I am NOT depressed, am in great health and have NO intentions on EVER taking my own life."
The first one literally said if I die it’s not suicide then cause of death was suicide
“Boeing says it encourages employees to speak up” yeah so they know who to get rid of next
Boeing used to quietly hide "White Tail" 787s' over in remote area of Paine Field and scrap them. Most of these were early production examples that were overweight or had other production flaws. Quite a few sat for years (The Teenagers), and although some were eventually fixed and sold, the rest were cannibalized. I'm not personally aware of any defective parts going back on the Everett production line, but airplanes left out in the elements for years tend to have issues. Perhaps this is one of the areas they are investigating. IDK.
There was a time when me or other QA folks would in some way make sure bad parts did not come back into the system to be accidentally used. More than red paint.
He knew there were junk parts, but when did he call the FAA?
bloody hell
Who made the parts?
If it's Everett, it's Boeing themselves.
@@Knight-Bishop ok. Boeing engineers decide what scrap is and isn't and they can change their minds if they want to.
@@Wolfcamp555 They can't do it on a whim and usually they can't just pull something being sent to scrap back to go back into production. If this was done through their MRB, there would be a paper trail of people who signed off on this, and it wouldn't have even gotten all the way to the scrap facility before being taken back. Unless for some reason they have an MRB cage at the scrap site, which would be the weirdest and least efficient logistical choice. In the text they highlighted, Quality seems to be in conflict with management, likely sales directly. And they seem to be talking about axles; idk if this is referring to landing gear, or some internal mechanism, but that is not something an engineer would just be fickle with, especially on a plane. This is what happens when a machine breaks before meeting a quota, the fix to the machine is taking longer than the deadline for the order, and somebody's already taken the heat for missing deadlines before, so they go over/around quality auditing and tell somebody to use these bad parts they scrounged up just to hit their numbers. In other words, greed.
@@Wolfcamp555This is NOT how this works in aerospace AT ALL!
@@Knight-Bishop salesman don't have authority to do anything. Engineers do.
Systematic of what is wrong with the USA today.
WOW unbelievable this is what happens when you don't have regulations!!!
The machining facilities are located in Auburn. Bad parts don't get shipped out, so are these parts initially damaged by assembly rejected by assembly inspector then shipped back to Auburn? Auburn is a collection and disposal point of used/worn-out tooling and equipment also.
Boeing should be put under judicial review. By the federal courts. 🙏
put the entire Board of Directors behind the bars. they selected the CEO
The company will start caring when their customers stop buying tickets. But ya'll keep buying them, feed the demon.
Protect this man! They should probably investigate Boeing Capsule stuck in space with stranded NASA astronauts.
And the US Government gave them another sweetheart settlement recently, giving them credit toward a new fine for having paid an old one, even after all of the issues, including stranding two astronauts in space.
This guys has some stones. Mad respect. I hope he survives it.

Anything to save a couple bucks. Everything is about maximizing profits now. New heavy equipment is all computer screens and symbols instead of words and fly-by-wire because they want to be able to sell all over the world without making any changes. Every time we get something new it's worse than before. I used to love operating equipment now I can't wait to retire and be done with it.
If boeing does this, then I am sure most companies are not too far from it. How about military industrial complex? Does anyone know how unsafe Apache actually are? Apache has numerous fatal accidents around the world and they are still in service.
But, but, but....what about shareholder value??!??!?!? That what's important.
Greed, greed, greed....
Rip in advance
All these reports....the people working on the airplanes knew? They knew they were putting shitty parts on an airplane?
Puts peoples lives at risk. Not just the passangers but the crew too.. so what youre telling us is u dont give a shit if a. Few hundred passangers die. But we cant have our employees dying
Boeing loses to Airbus to supply the Phillippine Airlines a total of 22 Passenger Jets last week. Boeing Lobbying Failed!
whomever recycled them pocketed the money.
They should rehire that Guy if the Company ever is purged of the corrupt leaders at Boeing!
Yea, they encourage people to come forward... right before their untimely demise.
Well stated
It's always about the Almighty Dollar! Pure Greed! Disgusting!
@3:50 Why characterize fasteners on an airliner as being superficial? That doesn't make much sense to me.
The government should be involved and fine the company and the company should fire the bad apples!
Boeing don't insult us with your bs about encouraging employees to speak up. Stop lying about your malfeasance...
Whistle blowers need to speak up quick before they have horrible accidents!!!!
Both the oldRepublican party and the Democrats must GO.
These are the working-class class people of Africa and Asia saying this. Can the ultimate criminal please fact check this. this.
When Boeing merged with McDowell Douglas, that’s when things went downhill, because McDowell was more interested in profits than quality..
These idiots are playing people’s life’s putting shitty parts .. coz i hear only boeings have trouble during turbulences ..
Their only competition is Airbus and they know the US government won't let them fail. Break up the company and foster competition
It's a shame, Boeing used to be the greatest airplane manufacturer in the world. Always trying to beat Airbus to the punch, and you see what happened!!! L Boeing CEO.
ok...thats it !!!! I will never fly on another Boeing plane !! This has been going on since 2015? WOW
Boeing problems are a sh*tshow. Never ending. Company needs a major corporate overhaul before it is stripmined to the ground. Profits over safety. Disgusting.
Muilenberg, and the engineers, pilots, and Southwest executives who colluded to introduce the MAX without full MCAS system back-up, to defraud the certification process, should ALL be in jail, guilty on 346 counts of manslaughter. This sweetheart deal is a shameful whitewash. In my 35 year aviation career I never thought that before.
That’s impossible! That’s against the law! What kind of management would do something like that??
More to come............
It is not over yet. Soon wings and landing gears will fall out while flying. Now i understand why there was a creaking sound in the boeing cabin while flying from Paris to New York today.That could be part of the factory scrap. I am done using boeing and I hope you too until they get their certification from AIRBUS.😂😂😂😂
Surprised that a grand piano or a blacksmiths anvil did not 'accidentally' fall from a high window onto this guy yet...... if its Boeing then I aint Whistle-Blowing - too risky!
Fixing a faulty QA system takes time. In the meantime Boeing should be put under increased supervision by the FAA.
So what are they going to do about it? How come the FAA didn’t catch it? They catch every bag that’s .4mm larger than it should be - why can’t they find this?!?
Yeah - I’ll drive, thanks.
As the story goes, these parts were originally sourced from china, but as we are now decoupling, Boeing ordered these parts from India instead, strangely, Indian suppliers used original Chinese documents(which is now completely irrelevant) as certificates of quality, and Boeing accepted parts without realizing these documents weren’t from Indian suppliers
It’s going full throttle now, with the IAM union contract expiring on Sep 12. Boeing is trying there hardest to get as many planes delivered as possible before before then…..
What does this have to do with my home page vid?
You are the top 10 worst reporters always chasing Ratings very discus things kissing 💋 DJT
They need to put cameras on the supervisors and have these dismissed employees review the footage daily. Full transparency, 24/7. No whistleblowing necessary, unerasable stored cloud footage inspected by all parties with an interest.
This report failed to ask the key and obvious questions. Who shipped the parts back? Why were they shipped back? Is there evidence that they wound up being installed on new planes? If you can't ask good questions you have no business being in journalism.
Welcome to the Grace L Ferguson discount airlines and screen door installation... Bob newhart
Why haven't the planes been recalled? I dont understand. Cars get recalled and fixed. Can the airplanes be fixed?
All this is just normal for American Capitalism. America you never learn. Money and greed over everything else.
I am an Englishman living in London. After another scandal coming from the USA regarding putting money above safety. I am 57 and have decided that I will never fly in a plane ever again. I would never trust anything come from the US regarding safety so my only option is not to fly again. My wife and I have bought a large camper and will in future go on holiday in Europe and the UK. Why do these American companies continue to have these practices. This is what happens when you abandon regulations.
LOTS OF SCRAP PARTS GET INSTALLED !!!
And I'd like to know how they determined the parts designations. And what tags had them Scrapped.
It is obviously a different day at Boeing.
But I built enough of them back in the day, and I'd Question Everything.
And many parts got scrapped because of people not simply reading the flag notes. Blah blah blah
@@My-Pal-Hal If that were true, you'd also know the paper trail was there if this was actually accepted during MRB. Don't act like parts sent off for scrap either didn't get rejected by MRB or were just so horrendously out of spec that they didn't even need review before being sent away. 🙄
@@Knight-Bishop

@@Knight-Bishop
And with all your years of aircraft manufacturing experience.
