Turbulent Times for Boeing's Leader

Once it was a household name with its fans saying “If it ain’t Boeing, I ain’t going”. While Boeing of course loved this slogan, the past six years have sadly seen two tragic B737 MAX crashes and several other issues, which have meant that times have changed significantly for the company. The world witnessed the jet maker’s humiliation when its CEO, Dave Calhoun, was questioned by angry US senators in Washington about his company’s terrible safety and manufacturing problems.

In the below video, Adam Hegarty chats to some of Boeing's whistleblowers on 60 MINUTES Australia, who reveal some pretty worrying allegations about substandard operations and cover-ups. It seems that the turbulence at Boeing is far from over.

There’s one more subject that can go on the list of to-do’s for Boeing (Note: and AIRBUS) which we have been highlighting for decades: the problem with dangerously polluted air in the cabin and cockpit.

The below Boeing internal 2007 email subject: “Toxicity?”, speaks of the cabin air problem and ends with a damning sentence:

"Certain mechanical failures that can lead to contamination...“. (Boeing).

As a frequent flyer herself, 60 Minutes reporter Tara Brown revealed in “Toxic Flyer” in 2013 how this story opened her eyes to the reality of toxic fumes onboard planes.

Long-term and permanent debilitating health problems as a result of chronic exposure to neurotoxic, fertility, and DNA-damaging carcinogenic chemicals are increasing. Aerotoxic Syndrome, an occupational hazard of aviation, can lead to chronic chemical sensitivity, among other debilitating immune disorders, and is experienced by countless flight crew members.

Aerotoxic Syndrome is legitimate and deserves to be properly recognized by doctors, the aviation industry, and, most importantly, employers' liability insurers.

"The Aerotoxic Team (UNFILTERED) is the single best-informed expert body relating to the issues of aircraft bleed air contamination and cabin air quality on a global scale.” David Learmount

For more professional and expert information about the reasons, the list of over 300 chemicals found in the aircraft interior, the collected science, the health consequences, countless crew and passenger testimonies, evidence, documentaries/films, and interviews, as well as current and past court cases and flight reports by aircrew go to UNFILTERED
