The safety of Boeing's planes must be examined on Wednesday, April 17, in the US Senate. A commission of inquiry organized this hearing after an engineer employed by the aircraft manufacturer revealed "alarming and dangerous production failures." Sam Salehpour, a quality engineer at Boeing for around ten years, contacted the American Civil Aviation Regulatory Agency (FAA) regarding the safety of the Dreamliner and the 777.
He claims that the manufacturer has repeatedly ignored serious concerns regarding safety and quality control in the construction of the 787 and 777. The latter, Dave Calhoun, had been asked to participate in this hearing, but he does not appear in the list of witnesses released Monday.
