STORY written by Gerald Eastman on his blog 'The Last Inspector' more than 1,5 years ago. The guy was a quality inspector for Boeing for many years and chronicles his battle for transparency and safety against the corporate machine of rushing jobs for profit. His blog is full of stories of his own and other colleagues experiences at both Boeing factories about corners cut, non conforming parts liberated from scrap cages and installed into production airframes to maintain production, and the pressures of management to bury any safety concerns and maintain tempo. He also goes into the complacency for the FAA in responding to whistleblower complaints and how the system worked to punish anyone with an ounce of integrity. Do head over and read if interested in the internal goings on by someone experienced in the business! Here's the main blog too for reference:
