“The memo said the company concluded that “several people had been violating company policies by not performing a required test, but recording the work as having been completed”.”
Several Boeing workers skipped a required test on where the 787 wing joins the fuselage and recorded it as done. The FAA now wants to know if employees falsified aircraft records. Boeing’s 787 chief calls it “misconduct” but not a safety of flight issue, and the planes already flying get an “action plan” instead of a reinspection. Boeing says it will “celebrate” the worker who reported it.
