Sen. Richard Blumenthal's office revealed a disturbing report from a Boeing whistleblower, Sam Mohawk, accusing the company of cutting corners and compromising safety standards. Mohawk, a quality assurance inspector, claims Boeing is using non-conforming parts in newly built airplanes and concealing evidence from the FAA. The company is currently reviewing the allegations. This accusation comes just before Boeing CEO David Calhoun's testimony on the company's safety culture, following previous whistleblower claims. Blumenthal is expected to question Calhoun's efforts to improve safety practices after a recent incident involving a Boeing plane. The senator will press Calhoun on the company's accountability and commitment to safety. The whistleblower's disclosure raises serious concerns about Boeing's practices and underscores the importance of maintaining safety standards in the aviation industry.
