  • @patrykc9050
    He doesn’t care! He’s leaving! To him this was just three hours of discomfort. He and his predecessor should be in jail
  • @PCLANParty
    The Board of Directors need to be testifying also. This all happened during their watch too.
  • @Seanpfree
    CEO received a 45% raise to $33MILLION / year. The real workers receive 1% raise year over year.
  • @musseda999
    Is blowback more commonly as “death”?
  • @CrowdJusticeUS
    Should be charged with criminal negligence and manslaughter. Also should be fined his full salary.
  • @mirrortv364
    This man is paid $137,500 every day (8 hours) ?! That is $18000/hour.

    I've been avoiding airlines that fly Boeing for a while now. Good thing Delta has a huge Airbus fleet.

    One of the ways Boeing will retaliate against employees that are vocal about concerns is they will move that employee to a different shift or transfer them to the Everett factory. If the employee lives further south then it will take that employee 2 or more hours just to get to work on time and anywhere from 3-4 hours to get home. The implications are that employees will fall into financial hardship and ultimately leave the company because of it or take courses so that they can find a job within the company that’s closer to home. Also, there’s no guarantee that when they accept the new job they will remain on their current shift and it could take years before they get back to the shift they want to be on. It disrupts the employee financially and also has a negative impact on that employees home life. Most of the senior employees have learned to just keep quiet because they can and will retaliate if you “speak up.”
  • He is an open murderer that made 33 million dollars a year and he then apologized because he knows there is no accountability,

    "I don`t know, but I will follow up" I guess this is the phrase they are advised by their lawyers to say when they don`t want to say anything.
  • @RoughRaiders13
    Interesting how they spell and pronounce murder as "blowback"😂😂😂
  • @JayTee2985
    He said Boeing retaliated against whistleblowers. He was trying to say that Boeing assassinated whistleblowers.
