Flight Risk: The Boeing 787 Whistleblower Case

By Elliona Bannerman, North Carolina Central University, Class of 2022

April 12, 2024

Currently, a case against Boeing International Aircraft Company and a Boeing quality engineer, Sam Salehpour, is taking place to discuss the safety concerns and assembly of the 787 Dreamliner aircraft [1]. He stated that he saw shortcuts being taken by Boeing during the creation of the 787 Dreamliner plane along with the 777 aircraft assembly to the Federal Aviation Association in January 2024 [1]. The purpose of this article is to discuss the history, overview, and upcoming legal battle for Boeing aircraft company.

There has been a history of safety problems faced by Boeing dates. In 2015, an auditor with the FAA came across a Boeing subcontractor falsifying certifications on several 777 aircraft that can result in short or fires [2]. In addition, tools were being left inside plane wings and improperly installed wires in 787s [2]. Boeing were made aware of these safety issues and agreed to fix them, but it was shown they failed to do so according to the FAA [2]. For various accounts of failing to comply with safety regulations, the records showed Boeing faced fines of up to ten of millions of dollars for each violation [2]. FAA officials gathered all the safety violations from Boeing together and negotiated a broader deal to address the systemic issues involving Boeing [2]. This resulted in heavy scrutiny over Boeing of crashes of their 787 Max jet, documents, and interviews that portrayed the aircraft company has problems regarding their safety known to federal regulators for years [2].

In the end, the FAA and Boeing signed a five-year settlement agreeing to pay $12 million and make significant changes to their internal safety systems and practices to ensure compliance

with regulations [2]. The settlement revealed cases of failure to correct certain fixes or problems that were happening on the aircraft [2]. Before this agreement was signed, employees at Boeing kept failing to insert “lock wires” into holes that are used to build planes, as it is stated by the FAA [2]. The company then agreed to provide “on-demand reports” to show documentation pertaining to Boeing’s work, but it was shown that Boeing portrayed some resistance to revealing that information [2].

Now in 2024, Boeing is facing another safety violation case where an engineer who is titled as a “whistleblower”, publicly revealed Boeing took “shortcuts” to meet their production goals [3]. He states the shortcuts to eagerly meet the production goals can shorten the life of the plane and potentially cause it to break apart mid-flight [3]. There has been a history of current and former employees of Boeing stating they express their concerns but are often retaliated against because of speaking up [3]. Boeing is trying to build their trust with aircraft and the public after a recent accident where the door panel on the side of the plane blew out midair from a 737 Max 8 in January of this year [3]. Boeing takes the position they strive to address all concerns and doesn’t promote retaliation offense against their employees [3]. This fallout for Boeing left CEO Dave Calhoun to step down before the end of the year and other executives being let go because of the matter reaching the top ranks in leadership [4].

The upcoming legal battle this aircraft company bears is a Senate hearing that calls CEO David Calhoun to testify about the company’s jetliners from an inquiry of safety violation from quality engineer, Sam Salehpour [5]. The hearing will be held April 17 to discuss the details of safety concerns involving the assembly of the 787 Dreamliner, as these problems can create “catastrophic risks to safety” to the company and public [5].
