Dean, a former quality auditor at Spirit AeroSystems and a whistleblower who alleged Spirit ignored manufacturing defects, has died after a sudden illness.
I remember reading about how an aerospace
Company who installed some navigational tech inside Air Force 1 also sold the same tech to the Russians lol. Supposedly they got fined but are still doing business with the US government in security. Don’t remember which company though
How does this keep happening to Quality assurance employees associeted with Boeing? Is there some unique chemical that this position is uniquely exposed to? /s
I can't believe how many of these Boeing guys are suffering from self-inflected acute lead poisoning of the occipital bone. They've got a real problem on their hands.
It seems plausible it could be a poison, for example:
Symptoms of ricin poisoning depend on whether a person breathes in the ricin, eats it or gets it in a shot. When breathed in, ricin causes fever, chest tightness, cough and breathing problems. Ricin can cause a fluid buildup in the lungs, known as pulmonary edema.
I can't read the article, but this means nothing without knowing what he reported and why he didn't like the outcome. If I could see his exact issues I could probably do an analysis, though.
It can be very hard to accept that your company or supplier or even customer chose the simple/cheap option over proper change. We do have quality issues across the industry, but it's similar shit as we've always dealt with.
I've also seen quality peeps with their head up their ass squawking stupid shit and reducing faith in QA.
this is the second time this has happened in a month and you're out here acting like it's a coincidence. are you getting paid by boeing? either way, shut the fuck up
Just looking at it from a QA perspective. Allegations can be objectively and independently verified. I'm not defending anyone - this is just a field I love and I'm nerding out.
