Fuselages made by Boeing’s largest supplier regularly left the factory with serious defects, according to a former quality inspector at the firm.
Santiago Paredes who worked for Spirit AeroSystems in Kansas, told the BBC he often found up to 200 defects on parts being readied for shipping to Boeing.
He was nicknamed “showstopper” for slowing down production when he tried to tackle his concerns, he claimed.
Mr Paredes made the allegations against Spirit in an exclusive interview with the BBC and the American network CBS, in which he described what he said he experienced while working at the firm between 2010 and 2022.
He was accustomed to finding “anywhere from 50 to 100, 200” defects on fuselages - the main body of the plane - that were due to be shipped to Boeing, he said.
“I was finding a lot of missing fasteners, a lot of bent parts, sometimes even missing parts.”
Someone should probably hire this guy a personal protective agent. Just saying.
Stay away from windows and elevator shafts too
Explaining the new rules (and retraining the clients,) is all part of the PPA’s job.
And everyone else should take out a life insurance policy on them.
Wait… we can take out life insurance policies on random people?!
#BirthOfASerialKiller….
Even the name is disgusting
Good luck not getting caught.
Insurance companies really do not like paying out.
Get caught doing what? Murder? Dead peasant policies are totally legal.
Get life insurance. Hire hitman. Pay hitman with the life insurance money.
🎵 It’s the circle of life… 🎵
yes, but you start having enough workplace accidents to pay things off… they’re gonna ask questions.

Like how if all your whistleblowers start dropping dead?
Kickstarter?
RIP new whistle-blower 5/9-5/9 he will be missed
Welp, he’s dead
Our condolences to his family.
There seem to be some similarities between Boeing whistleblowers and the Final Destination movies right now. This guy should go live in a padded cell.
The light fixture is faulty, causing a spark which sets the padding on fire.
If I was a Boeing whistleblower I would be live streaming my life, mentioning every hour that I feel fine and not suicidal, and hiring someone for minimum wage to just hangout with me every night with the only job to call 911 if something happens
Man, then they’d have a minimum-wage worker to pin it on.
“Boeing whistle-blower found dead in apparent murder-suicide” keeps the Final Destination death list fresh.
Damn it. Stop finding ways to kill me!
Would probably draw pretty good views too. Could probably live off it for a while or at least until they come…
Maybe I can get someone who works for the hurrstory channel to announce teasers. Will he be alive next week?
I think the safest place for him would be … right next to Tony Todd.
I bet I can tell you exactly why there are so many defects. It’s because nobody gives a fuck about quality anymore, because they aren’t paid enough to care. The corpos expect quality but refuse to pay for quality workers. They’d rather save money by paying people shit wages, so they get shit employees that don’t give a shit about doing their job right. Then they force the (underpaid) inspectors to pass said shit so they don’t lose more money. This is all made possible by making people desperate for work and willing to take any pay so they’ll go along with this shit.
