I thought this piece was interesting. I am suspicious of the journalistic content but it was a nice recap of modern Boeing history and business practice.

The journalistic content is mostly from anonymous sources and rumours. I am not convinced that the 787 work force would be subject to any more - or less - drug use than the average factory work force. If ten out of 15 people would not like to fly with the 787, I am curious as to why. What, exactly, is it that makes the production workers unwilling to fly? The answer from the "documentary" was "we build them to sell": now, what does that mean? Questions like that was never answered.

I also spotted some creative editing moments especially in the Boeing interview. Tbh, the Boeing PR dep could have managed that interview much smoother than they did though.

To sum up: A nice overview of Boeing company and structure, but don't expect any ground breaking news or earth shattering journalism.
