Falsified papers, sloppy work led FAA to fine Boeing
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. Documents obtained this month by The Seattle Times through a Freedom of Information Act request show the cases revealed a disquieting pattern of falsified paperwork and ignored procedures that created quality issues on the production lines of Boeing and its suppliers. (www.seattletimes.com) Altro...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.

If its anyone other than Boeing you will never read it on here this is the Airbus flag ship posting area.
Lay off the pipe, friend.
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.
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.
