If you've got a few grand and a pilot license you can register & build experimental aircraft as long as it's below a certain weight class & accept certain route restrictions

Boeing will hold a press conference and everyone will expect them to come clean but instead they announce that they're changing their name to Boeing! and all the reporters will stand up and clap and share value goes through the roof Guys in dank basements planning the revolution throw their berets to floor but reluctantly respect the hustle

The faa puts out new regulations forbidding the use of structural sheetrock for aviation use in all cases investigators baffled "it isn't why the wings fell off, but how they were able to stay on so long" -- turns out it was the softness of the swamp side of the runway dampening vibrations etc, etc

He's not the only person testifying about Boeing's failings, he's been talking to anyone who will listen about the problems he had seen for seven years. You don't wait seven years to silence a whistelblower when he's getting the more attention than ever while he's in the process of a deposition. Everything this guy was going to say he's said. It's always amazing when people say "he told me that if something happens it wasn't suicide" like that's proof of anything. John McAfee said the same thing repeatedly and still killed himself.

Was it the merger with Lockheed that hosed up Boeing? I mean more that an aircraft production company already was.

Boeing merged with McDonnell Douglas, and McDonnell's corporate rot that destroyed their company and allowed them to be acquired by a competitor immediately infected Boeing. Lockheed Martin is a very separate company.

Thinking of starting a company that manages the transition between acquisitions, such that the acquirer doesn't destroy the company they just bought. Unless that's their intention.

I know a guy who makes parts for Boeing, and twice a year they send these auditors to his shop to rifle through his paper work and inventory to make sure he's compliant with all their quality regs. He said they even have these little leather belt holsters for their digital calipers. Claimed they were all dumb as hell. One time, he was having a catered lunch for his employees on the same day the auditors showed up, and he brought them all into the break room and locked out the Boeing auditors so they were forced to look in the windows like hungry orphans.

that carbon fiber was used successfully on many dives in fact, it only ever had one failure across all dives performed, pretty good success rate overall
