Troubled 737 MAX Boeing airplane had at least 13 other safety incidents, ex-employee says
A former senior manager at Boeing, who urged the company to shut down the 737 MAX factory, has revealed the fleet experienced at least 13 other safety incidents in the aircraft's short lifespan.
Ex-Boeing manager recommend factory be shut down after seeing 'chaos'
^ Ed Pierson joined Boeing in 2008 after retiring from the Navy as a Captain following three decades of service.
By mid-2018, Mr Pierson said the factory was in a state of "chaos," which compelled him to raise his concerns with senior management.
"Frankly, right now all my internal alarm bells are going off," Mr Pierson said in an email to Scott Campbell, the general manager of the 737 MAX program.
"For the first time in my life, I'm sorry to say that I'm hesitant about putting my family on a Boeing airplane."
"My dad was a homicide detective and I remember as a kid, he told me how important it was to get information to investigators and for investigators to keep an open mind, so that was my intent," he said.
But he was stonewalled by both Boeing and the safety authorities, which motivated him to do his own digging.
