The first problem, he related, involved clusters of razor-sharp titanium slivers that fell onto the surface that supported the electronic equipment controlling power to the airplane. These more or less three-inch shards peeled off titanium threads when workers installed the titanium bolts that secured the floor board above the surface supporting the power gear in these fly-by-wire planes. Barnett filed a complaint with management. The FAA then performed multiple audits and found the slivers in all 10 planes inspected. The FAA blocked Boeing from delivering planes with shards, but according to Barnett did not consider that the scraps posed a safety issue on the 800 planes already delivered (Barnett claimed that the issue could have triggered a catastrophic event).

The second issue involved the emergency oxygen equipment. Barnett’s team found that 25% of the systems didn’t work properly, so that when the masks fell from the ceiling in the event of an accident that caused decompression, the cylinders would fail to send oxygen to the passengers. According to Barnett, management stonewalled on his report. He also alerted the FAA. Boeing later disclosed that its own investigation revealed that some of the oxygen masks were not working.

Third, Barnett states that Boeing wasn’t keeping proper track of parts shipped from suppliers that it found defective. “Many of them were lost or shown to have been installed on the airplane without being repaired,” he says in the Corporate Crime piece. “We didn’t know where a lot of them went. Some of them were significant structural components…such as on the aft pressure bulkheads.” Barnett says that he filed a whole series of internal warnings on the defective parts problem, first by discussing it with managers, then going to HR, and finally lodging a complaint to the ethics group.

Je me demande tout de même à quel point le problème est uniquement chez Boeing, je n'ai pas l'impression que ça soit réparti sur l'ensemble des compagnies aériennes.

“I viewed severe misalignments when the plane came together, which was remedied by using unmeasured and unlimited amount of force to fit the misaligned holes and parts together,” Salehpour said. “I literally saw people jumping on the pieces of the airplane to get them to align.”

Jumping up and down could deform parts enough so that the holes aligned temporarily, allowing the mechanic to hit a pin with a mallet into the hole, he said.

This “can cause damage to the parts and creates risk factors for primary structures,” Salehpour added.

Boeing did not respond to the detailed allegations about the 777.

Debra Katz, another of his lawyers, at the news conference said Saleh repeatedly brought up his 787 concerns with supervisors and last month submitted a formal ethics complaint internally.

“Initially, he was just told to shut up. Then he was told he was a problem. Then he was excluded from meetings, and he was excluded from taking travel with his team, said Katz. “He was barred from speaking to structural engineers. He was barred from speaking to mathematicians and others to help him understand the data.”

“At one point, his (787) boss threatened him with physical violence,” she added. “That was documented. That actually was in writing. He turned the threat of physical violence over to HR and HR did not discipline the offending supervisor.”
