A
current Boeing employee claims that the company tried to shield broken or
out-of-specification 737 Max plane parts from regulators and lost track of
them, according to a Senate subcommittee investigation made public Tuesday.
Boeing
tried to hide the nonconforming parts from Federal Aviation Administration
regulators by moving them out of sight and falsifying records, claims Sam
Mohawk, the new whistleblower who works for Boeing quality assurance unit in
Renton, Washington. Boeing was unable to account for many of the parts that it
moved around to skirt regulators, and they probably ended up getting installed
in some planes, Mohawk said.
Boeing
said it received the report from Congressional investigators Monday evening.
“We are
reviewing the claims,” said the company’s statement. “We continuously encourage
employees to report all concerns as our priority is to ensure the safety of our
airplanes and the flying public.”
