Started working in 737 Factory

2017 (4th qtr)
737 Factory conditions start to deteriorate initially driven by supply chain problems (e.g., late deliveries of engines)
2018 (1st & 2nd qtr)
Factory conditions worsen (more late parts, overworked employees, skilled labor shortage, shortage of equipment, declining performance metrics)
2018 (2nd qtr)
Identified risks to production quality (increasing numbers of quality reports, large numbers of functional test failures, lots of rework)
June & July 2018
Requested 737 General Manager shutdown the factory due to all the production problems going on and airplane safety risks--request ignored
"Frankly right now all my internal warning bells are going off. And for the first time in my life, I’m sorry to say that I’m hesitant about putting my family on a Boeing airplane."
