Boeing's FAA-Approved Crash Course in Airtight Approvals
Hold onto your seatbelts, folks! In an epic regulatory tango, the FAA discovered Boeing was trying to fast-track approval for planes with more flaws than a soggy sandwich. This drama unfolded around 2024, with the FAA flagging factory violationsâyes, actual factories, not just boardroomsâsuggesting Boeing sought permission to shake hands with 'unairworthy' planes. These sky chariots apparently had more issues than a soap opera, all while trying to get Americaâs busiest airways to RSVP 'yes' to gravity. The saga is sprinkled with tense FAA meetings, bureaucratic eyebrow raises, and enough corporate doublethink to fuel decades of 'what not to do' seminars. More riveting than a safety manual, and almost as safe!

Boeing asking the FAA to approve unairworthy planes? Thatâs like a chef asking the fire department to greenlight serving food thatâs half raw, half hazardous. âSafety first!â apparently means âLetâs see what breaks first.â
Imagine trying to get a driverâs license for your toaster. Now replace toaster with plane and driverâs license with FAA approval. Boeing really doubling down on that âtrust usâ vibe.
'Unairworthy' planes getting approval fast-tracked? Boeing's internal motto must be âFaster, cheaper, questionableâ while the FAA facepalms in sync.
