Boeing Whistleblower: Production Line Has “Enormous Volume Of Defects” Bolts On MAX 9 Weren’t Installed::A reader at respected airline industry site Leeham News offered a comment that suggests they have access to Boeing’s internal quality control systems, and shares details of what they saw regarding the Boeing 737 MAX 9 flown by Alaska Airlines that had a door plug detach inflight, causing rapid decompression of the aircraft. The takeaway appears to be that outsourced plane components have so many problems when they show up at the production line that Boeing’s quality control staff can’t keep up with them all.

Especially if you can get a new job before something goes wrong. Get an upper management job, strip the metaphorical walls of copper to "cut costs", and use that on your CV to get a C-suite job somewhere else.

Boring still isn't suffering for this. They've made their money and will continue to make more.
