I've been reading about the Boeing news in passing and thought it's about time to get a thread going.
TLDR: Boeing's reputation is collapsing as news story after news story is coming out about various faulty parts and emergency landings. Apparently the company pivoted from top rated safety procedures to profits, and some of their own engineers have said they would not fly on their planes.
Also, a whistleblower was found dead of apparent suicide, who earlier said if he is found dead, "it's not suicide."
This is really ramping up on the Congress/Senate level, but we'll see what actually happens...
PS - also was wondering, have we ever had a pilot or flight attendant as an active member that we know about?
