Al Jazeera: Safety concerns dog Boeing 787 Dreamliner
Al Jazeera has found that some Boeing workers have serious concerns about the safety of the 787 "Dreamliner" aircraft. In a new documentary, Broken Dreams: The Boeing 787, current and retired Boeing employees discuss their worries about quality control with Al Jazeera's Investigative Unit.

Frankly nothing Al Jazeera has to say impresses me.Just because of who they are I'll always be suspicious of their motives for their expressed point of view.
So airlines like ANZ safety and aircraft assessment and engineering approval are finding...nothing wrong. A comprehensive news item must include specific parts and what manufacturing areas are supposedly an issue. Are these processes documented as per SARPS and are the "whistle-blowers" and employees at an expert level of organisational management, aircraft design and qualified human factors experts in job design and accident prevention...or just opinionated employees that work in sectors.
I note that one plant producing the 787 is union and one is not. One is on the north and the other is in the deep south. Clearly, the fact that employees have no organized and sanctioned way to talk to management had created a serious matter. The situation in the SC plant is fixable but will it? Only union protections will take the employees'concerns safely to mgt.
What a load of crap. Why do I suspect ulterior motives for this report, especially when things like this report are occuring: http://www.postandcourier.com/article/20140220/PC05/140229947 These "whistleblowers" have one interest in mind, and it certainly i$n't pa$$enger $afety. Yes, some workers are probably on drugs. Most large manufacturing facilities have fought this for decades. But I don't think it's any worse than anywhere else, including the Seattle area. And Toulouse, for that matter. That should take care of the Boeing v. Airbus angle.
To top it all off, they used Al-Jezeera as their mouthpiece. Did Mad magazine's news division turn them down? This tells me all the other news organizations recognized it for what it is ... pure union-fed manure.

Thanks for posting this. Unfortunately, this is just going to turn into a Boeing vs. Airbus bash.
Rather than looking into these issues presented by those in the video most of us here will just choose to defend Boeing. It's actually quite sad since our loved ones will be flying on these planes. As pilots and customers we need know what products we use are safe.
