Ex-Boeing Manager Warns of "Criminal" Safety Failures, Won't Fly 737/787

• Former Boeing manager Ed Pierson warns of deep safety failures in 737 and 787 programs, refusing to fly them.
• Pierson states Boeing's culture prioritized production speed over safety, leading to "out of sequence work" and quality issues.
• He links the Ahmedabad 787 crash to familiar warning signs like long hours, fatigue, and technical problems.
• Pierson criticizes the initial Ahmedabad crash investigation and condemns blaming pilots, calling it "disgusting."
• He accuses regulators (FAA, NTSB) of over-reliance on Boeing and labels pushing unsafe aircraft as "gross negligence" and "criminal behavior."

Why It Matters: Boeing's safety culture is compromised by production pressure, leading to "criminal" negligence, says ex-manager.
