//Boeing denies his accusations and says all its aircraft are built to the highest levels of safety and quality.//

Lets hope they are not playing with peoples lives or do they consider that a potential incident is worth the gamble .

AlJazeera broke this story in 2014



Money before lives I'm afraid, in this case, big money.
The short version.

■ Boeing built great safe planes in Seatle, Wasington state for many decades.
■ In 1997 the highly profitable Boeing merged with the ailing McDonnell Douglas.
■ But the McDonnell Douglas team ended up running the company.
■ They moved the headquarters to Chicago.
■ They open a second plant in South Carolina that wasn’t Unionised (unlike Seattle).
■The South Carolina plant has low paid, unskilled workers.
■ South Carolina build the 787. Whistleblowers have highlighted quality control problems.
'do they consider that a potential incident is worth the gamble'

I'm pretty sure they don't. Not for altruistic H&S reasons, but for their reputation and profitability.

Question Author
From what I have read this plane has an inherent design fault
Trying to fix it with a software programme has not worked

I don't trust them to put lives above money

I remember reading somewhere / listening to the radio that some official body had predicted that this airplane would crash at sometime in the future (I can't remember the stats - perhaps someone here can find out ) because of the particular fault unique to this particular plane
