I'm not fully convinced of Sam S. worries regarding 787 fuselage tolerances. I speculate:
He probably was applying metal knowledge and did assume that composite fuselage stress works the same
They initially took it serious but too many experts contradicted him. Even two company engineers (not known what leadership level) came forward to defend it as safe in public.
I think too many people were tired of Sam S. stubborn sticking to the issue although proven wrong.
They then transferred him to the more conventional 777 - wait a minute - is the 777x still conventional, apart from the skin?
For the benefit for him I hope I'm wrong, but this needs to be looked at with open mind, what's the truth.
