Why does this NOT surprise me???
NEW YORK (Reuters) - Three former Boeing Co. (NYSE:BA http://us.rd.yahoo.com/dailynews/finance/nm/bs_nm/storytext/transport_boeing_dc/18744375/*http://finance.yahoo.com/q?s=ba&d=t - news http://us.rd.yahoo.com/dailynews/biz/nm/bs_nm/storytext/transport_boeing_dc/18744375/*http://biz.yahoo.com/n/b/ba.html) employees have alleged that the top U.S. plane maker installed improperly fitting parts in hundreds of Boeing 737 commercial jets, the Washington Post reported on Monday. They claim that Boeing allowed thousands of parts to be installed on the planes even though the aerospace company knew they *did not meet specifications*. Boeing also *retaliated against people who raised questions* about the parts, the whistle-blowers claim. The whistle-blowers initially made the claims in 2002, the newspaper said. A review by the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration said the allegations had no merit. :-P However, the Washington Post said it had reviewed the *FAA's probe and found that the agency failed to visit any airplanes to inspect the 200 types of parts questioned by the whistle-blowers*.The FAA declined to comment on the allegations, beyond referring to their previous findings the allegations had no merit, the Post said. Previous findings through long distance osmosis perhaps? Unbelievable. Remember, Gay Pride and unqualified black females now run the politically correct but out of control FAA. It appears Air Safety is way down on the priority list. But they do celebrate Gay pride week with vigor. |

The FAA has always inspected paperwork, rather than
airplanes. Boeing union workers often use such threats as part of the negotiation process. If union workers "knew" the parts were wrong, they should not have installed them in the first place. -- James H.
