Falsified papers, sloppy work led FAA to fine Boeing

Aggiunto
 
Though Boeing paid $12 million in late 2015 to settle more than a dozen Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) investigations, details of the problems found by the safety agency were not disclosed at the time.

I’m very surprised at this report. QA/IA must be paramount with any Aviation Company. Shadowing one’s tool box, ensuring at the end of shift change that the accountability of tools and equipment are signed off, ensuring compliance with the STC are adhered to as well as hiring over a 100 IA’s to ensure your compliance and documentation and you still can’t get it right.

Very disappointed in Boeing since its name normally equates to Quality in the Air. And yes I'm an IA/QC Inspector and I may bust my employee's balls from time-to-time but as a Sr. Pilot for our company I want to deliver a quality/safe product.

Makes you wonder what other manufacturers are doing in the way of 'dry labbing' the books.
Two things stand out when reading this: reputable journalism and the Freedom of Information Act.

I think FA is not 'the Airbus flag ship posting area' despite a group of posters attempting to make it appear so. Names withheld to protect the guilty.

Too bad they are both in the process of being systematically destroyed.
