    John Oliver’s recent special about them really calls their QA into question

    What do you mean by that? What was lacking?

      The episode in question is available on YouTube and is pretty damning. But there’s a portion featuring a clip where a one 737 assembly line worker asked his coworkers if they would fly on those planes. Several said no and one dude who said yes joked he had a death wish. But overall their view was the planes were unsafe due to seeing how bad the quality was themselves.

      There’s also the recent news that a different Boeing whistleblower got off his flight when he realized he was on a MAX despite purposefully booking a flight avoiding that plane model. Honestly really concerning that the very people who worked on those planes don’t want to fly on them.

        Ah, I thought you were talking about John Oliver’s QA. I see how “QA” is ambiguous between the two now though.
