The airplane had taken off from the Portland (OR) airport and was passing through 16,000 ft when the plug on the left side aft of the wing blew off the airplane.<\/p>\n<p>Nobody was sitting in the two seats next to the plug. A teenager in the row in front of the plug was nearly sucked out of the plane. There were minor injuries and damage from the decompression throughout the cabin and cockpit. The plane made a safe emergency landing minutes later.<\/p>\n<p>The cause was traced to line assembly personnel\u2019s failure to reinstall four bolts holding the plug in place. The plug eventually shifted in its track and separated from the aircraft. The plug blowout also blew up Boeing\u2019s recovery efforts from the 2018-19 MAX crisis following two fatal crashes. These were traced to a design flaw with a flight system known as MCAS.<\/p>\n<p>In its report issued today, Boeing said that it has:<\/p>\n<h5><strong>Overview<\/strong><\/h5>\n<ul>\n<li>Addressed over 70% of action items in commercial airplanes production based on employee feedback during Quality Stand Down sessions.<\/li>\n<li>Instituted new random quality audits of documented removals in high frequency areas to ensure compliance to process.<\/li>\n<li>Added hundreds of hours of new curriculum to training programs, including quality proficiency, Safety Management System (SMS) Positive Safety Culture, and critical skills.<\/li>\n<li>Mapped and prepared thousands of governance documents and work instructions for revision.<\/li>\n<li>Significantly reduced defects in 737 fuselage assembly at Spirit AeroSystems by increasing inspection points at build locations and implementing customer quality approval process.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h5><strong>Few details<\/strong><\/h5>\n<p>Boeing declined to make an official available for an interview. It also did not respond to a question about any progress related to an outside safety committee appointed by then-CEO David Calhoun in the wake of the Alaska 1282 accident.<\/p>\n<p>Boeing\u2019s full press release may be downloaded here: <a href=\"https:\/\/leehamnews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Boeing-Safety-Update-1-4-25.pdf\">Boeing Safety Update 1-4-25<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Boeing did not detail outcomes of what it means by \u201caddressed\u201d 70% of action items. It\u2019s unknown how many items were resolved, affirmed, denied, dismissed, corrected or implemented.<\/p>\n<p>In addition, Boeing said that among the items it cited as safe progress in the past year, it:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Created and filled a new position of Human Factors Functional Chief Engineer.<\/li>\n<li>Invested in improvements to the Speak Up system to strengthen confidentiality and keep employees who submit reports informed of the status and resolution of their report.<\/li>\n<li>Implemented \u201cmove ready\u201d criteria across Final Assembly for the 737, 787, and portions of 767 and 777 to manage traveled work and mitigate risk.<\/li>\n<li>Instituted new random quality audits of documented removals in high frequency areas to ensure compliance to process.<\/li>\n<li>Released initial simplified installation plans into 737 production.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<hr\/>\n<h5><strong>Related stories<\/strong><\/h5>\n<hr\/>\n<h5><strong>Skeptics of the progress<\/strong><\/h5>\n<p>Present and former employees, however, expressed skepticism over Boeing\u2019s list. Relating to the \u201cmove ready\u201d criteria, one former employee told <em>LNA<\/em> that in the past, the Everett factory identified downjack critical parts, parts that for structural reasons, had to be fully installed in the vehicle before it could be removed from one Control Code\/Tool and moved down the line.\u00a0 Creating a new move-ready process encompassing more than the structural necessities for vehicle safety may introduce unintended outcomes. He said unnecessary delays and \u201cuseless\u201d discrepancies are two possible outcomes.<\/p>\n<p>This employee said that the random audits are a \u201creasonable short-term band-aid\u201d to the removal process. But what\u2019s missing \u201cis a documented process of discipline and corrective action for those that circumvent the process.\u00a0 Renton had a God almighty large removal escape [Alaska 1282\u2019s door plug] and publishing what happens next time to those who get caught gaming the system is a necessary step on the way to 100% compliance.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The simplified installation plans highlighted by Boeing \u201cis fraught with peril,\u201d the employee said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe simplification of a known good, approved process introduces literally thousands of new error points into the system.\u00a0 Boeing\u2019s problems were never centered on the Installation plans.\u00a0 Boeing was the victim of the aging of a very skilled workforce and the loss of institutional knowledge as that workforce retired. This includes the supervisory staff on the factory floor,\u201d the employee said.<\/p>\n<h5><strong>Failure to follow processes<\/strong><\/h5>\n<p>Despite a year\u2019s efforts, a current employee said that failure to follow processes remains a problem at the Fredrickson (WA) facility. Repeated leadership turnover also has been an issue. Some issues were reported through the Speak Up system a year ago, but no action was taken, he said. He fears reporting the problems to the FAA would be recognized by his managers as coming from him, resulting, he fears, in retaliation.<\/p>\n<p>He said some facility managers still don\u2019t understand the Safety Management System (SMS) that was put in place voluntarily and made mandatory during the MAX crisis. There hadn\u2019t been a safety standdown in 10 years before former CEO Calhoun departed.<\/p>\n<p>Another current employee said that Boeing Global Services (BGS) hasn\u2019t seen any changes. Focus has been on Boeing Commercial Airplanes (BCA), understandably. However, this employee points out that BGS is \u201ctethered\u201d to BCA and the Defense unit and between Defense and BCA. There has been no safety standdown at BGS, he said, and complained that the BCA standdown following the Alaska accident was show and little substance.<\/p>\n<p>Another retired Boeing employee, whose duties once included safety, said \u201caddressing\u201d 70% of action items identified during the BCA safety stand down \u201cdoesn\u2019t mean they were fixed.\u201d Audits, he said, \u201care part of the norm. Can Boeing speak to what the findings rate is with the audits? It should be more transparent.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>This employee noted that Boeing didn\u2019t provide a metric to define what \u201csignificantly reduc[ing]\u201d defects in 737 fuselage assembly at Spirit AeroSystems means. Nor did Boeing discuss the Everett factory, where quality control on the 767, KC-46A, and 777 lines suffered since the COVID pandemic.<\/p>\n<h5><strong>SPEEA\u2019s skepticism<\/strong><\/h5>\n<p>The engineers and technicians union, SPEEA, is involved in every aspect of design and production. Yet the outside safety committee, headed by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?sa=t&amp;source=web&amp;rct=j&amp;opi=89978449&amp;url=https:\/\/boeing.mediaroom.com\/2024-01-16-Boeing-Names-Independent-Advisor-to-Lead-Comprehensive-Quality-Review&amp;ved=2ahUKEwikkZbrvdeKAxXRGtAFHScOKqAQFnoECBIQAQ&amp;usg=AOvVaw3AldWrRq2eS4OqgNeiFW9V\">a retired Navy nuclear submarine admiral, appointed by then-CEO Calhoun<\/a> after the Alaska accident, hasn\u2019t contacted SPEEA for its input in the ensuing year. The new CEO, Kelly Ortberg, has not met with SPEEA. Upon assuming the position on Aug. 8, Ortberg said one of his first priorities is resetting labor relations.<\/p>\n<p>SPEEA\u2019s year-old initiative to create an <a href=\"https:\/\/leehamnews.com\/2024\/04\/23\/speea-boeing-at-impasse-over-safety-program-union-says\/\">Aviation Safety Action Program (ASAP)<\/a> has been stalled by Boeing\u2019s labor relations department, SPEEA\u2019s Rich Plunkett told <em>LNA<\/em> on Tuesday. Plunkett is SPEEA\u2019s Director of Strategic Development. The last meeting was in March. When he queried the department earlier this month, he was told the focus was still on post-IAM strike matters. No new date has been set to meet.<\/p>\n<p>ASAP was previously implemented between the touch-labor union, the IAM 751, and Boeing, as well as with the company\u2019s test flight department. But SPEEA executive director Ray Goforth told <em>LNA<\/em> in April that the impasse is over Boeing\u2019s insistence that it control the information flow to a tri-party panel that consists of Boeing, SPEEA, and the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). SPEEA wants information to flow directly to the panel without Boeing\u2019s filtering it. The FAA representative, who was recently reassigned, was sympathetic to SPEEA\u2019s position, says Plunkett.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/leehamnews.com\/2024\/10\/07\/strike-slows-boeings-march-toward-improving-safety-culture\/\">Airbus has a similar program that <em>LNA<\/em> described in detail<\/a> in an Oct. 7 post. Airbus doesn\u2019t have an ASAP (this is an official FAA program). But it does have a Speak-Up program, as does Boeing. Speak-Up encourages employees to report concerns about safety protocol and quality control, without fear of retribution or retaliation.<\/p>\n<p>At Airbus, the report is reviewed by a committee of experts in different areas, but not the ones from the management of that person, to assess if there are any lessons learned, or systemic lessons learned.<\/p>\n<h5><strong>Spirit embraces ASAP<\/strong><\/h5>\n<p>As for Boeing\u2019s current safety update, Plunkett\u2019s response was caustic.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt reminds me of the 787 rollout,\u201d he said. The first 787 was rolled out to worldwide fanfare in 2008. The airplane looked intact, but close inspection revealed wooden and cardboard doors and hatches, thousands of temporary fasteners, and other incomplete production elements. In some circles, the airplane was called the Potemkin airplane, after the phony village created to impress a Russian Czar. \u201cIt\u2019s a hollow shell put on by a prop department,\u201d Plunkett said.<\/p>\n<p>SPEEA represents Spirit\u2019s engineers and technicians. A new contract was agreed to last month. Included is an ASAP. Plunkett said that Spirit management embraces ASAP, unlike Boeing, and worked with SPEEA to establish the program.<\/p>\n<p>Plunkett hopes that once Boeing acquires Spirit, which is targeted for this spring, Spirit\u2019s embrace of ASAP will migrate to Boeing. But a former Boeing employee isn\u2019t so sure. If Boeing structures Spirit as its own Boeing division, the company may be able to silo ASAP to Wichita, where Spirit is located, and prevent company-wide implementation.<\/p>\n<p>Plunkett said this has been another stumbling block in SPEEA\u2019s efforts to adopt ASAP. SPEEA\u2019s position is that safety is a company-wide issue, not one confined to site-specific locations. SPEEA proposed including Boeing\u2019s Charleston (SC) 787 facilities in ASAP. Charleston is a non-union shop. Plunkett said Boeing\u2019s labor relations department dismissed the suggestion as a \u201cland grab\u201d effort.<\/p>\n<h5><strong>Human factors position<\/strong><\/h5>\n<p>\u201cThe one thing in there that I was heartened about was, and I was not aware of, was that they created a human factors functional chief engineer,\u201d he added. \u201cThat\u2019s fantastic. But one of the things you may or may not know is that the old Boeing had something called the ESB, the Employment Stabilization Board. It met on a regular basis where they managed the care and feeding of the various engineering skill sets.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey were the ones in charge of looking at what is the current population\u2019s capabilities, where are the schools going in terms of developing the skill sets, how do we get these folks, how do we develop these folks, and then the ESB met on a regular basis with the business units to place individuals in accordance with the business needs. That was a very robust system and a way to manage skill sets, and things like human factors not getting their appropriate seat at the table would be brought forth. Boeing did away with that\u201d after the 1997 merger with McDonnell Douglas, he said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBoeing is making some appropriate moves, but it\u2019s like they\u2019re putting out fires while they\u2019re not recognizing the lightning storm that is creating these fires they\u2019re putting out,\u201d Plunkett said.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, despite Speak Up, SPEEA will next week file an unfair labor practice complaint over the layoff of a union member whose employee reviews were good but who visibly supported last year\u2019s IAM strike.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey targeted one of our activists who is involved in, go figure, the ASAP negotiation team and the SMS implementation team and is part of the ODA (the FAA\u2019s authorized designated representative program),\u201d Plunkett said.<\/p>\n<p><em>The Seattle Times<\/em> published a long story about Boeing whistleblowers on Dec. 29. In it, complaints about the retaliation of some who communicated through Speak Up were reported.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cA panel of aviation safety experts in February rebuked Boeing\u2019s Speak Up program in a report to Congress. Whistleblower advocates criticized Speak Up for commonly outing whistleblowers to the supervisors they\u2019re complaining about, exposing them to retaliation. Managers sometimes investigated complaints against themselves. Employees mistrusted the program\u2019s promise of anonymity,\u201d <em>The Times<\/em> wrote.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><h3 class=\"jp-relatedposts-headline\"><em>Related<\/em><\/h3>\n<\/p>\n<p><!-- END .article -->\n<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Scott Hamilton Jan. 3, 2025, \u00a9 Leeham News: Boeing today issued an update on its year-long effort to improve safety protocols in the final assembly lines of the 7-Series commercial airplanes.
