Boeing faces fresh safety scrutiny amid whistleblower claims

One of the engineers at Boeing, Sam Salehpour, has made serious allegations suggesting that the company has been doing shoddy work in the production of these crafts that could cause serious consequences as the models grow older.

The New York Times first reported about the whistleblower’s filing of a formal complaint, a document initially reported by the Federal Aviation Agency, FAA, in March 2019 and later this past Monday was leaked to the public.

Salehpour’s criticisms, although valid, do not relate to the 737 Max jet, which after two shortened periods of services, irrespectively, has been prohibited from flying by the FAA.
