Anti 787 Documentary

[-Z-]

Just watching this new documentary with some prominent ex-Boeing employees stating that they would not fly on it.

Delete if repost but I haven't seen it on here.

Interesting that Qatar has ordered a load of 787's for its national airline, so can't really accuse Al Jazeera of bias.

So the FAA ignore these (very) serious claims and then that one day comes......................

What about existing 787 operators, they're aware of these issues (and they will be aware) and are also happy to ignore them because Boeing is a large US Powerhouse Company?

Does powerhouse = untouchable?

I think a pertinent fact from the documentary was the fact that the FAA guy overseeing the 787 left and now lobbies for Boeing.

Also, if NASA is capable of taking a 'it should be alright' attitude towards falling tiles then the FAA/Boeing are well capable of similar failings with increased commercial pressures.

Additionally, the fact that 2/3rds of the factory workforce asked said that they would not fly on it says a lot. Ignoring the guy that said he would fly on it but has a death wish anyway
