John Deere, General Motors, many many others. Shame on these greedy bastards
They do everything for themselves 🤷🏾♂️ they getting paid for nothing
Bean counters in charge of engineering and production companies always produces inferior and unsafe equipment. Even Henry Ford knew this as he rid himself of investors and useless bean-counters. Such professions and greedy individuals know so little about engineering and production that to let them have any say so is a travesty of American engineering and production companies. The results of their control speaks volumes to their control of said companies.
General Electric! Used to be a great American company. This guy’s mentor Jack Welch destroyed it.

GE was on the DJI list since they started it in 1896, and got booted off in 2018. Shows how far this turd has dropped.
@@Troubleman2022getting paid for fucking over everyone that isnt part of the owners of the company, for the profit of the owners, is not in fact doing nothing.
"you got a 45% increase just last year" If only more politicians called out these CEOs like this
They should ask about the engineer who unalived himself in between giving testimonies about Boeing.
There's now two that allegedly unalived themselves. Soon to be three or four judging by the number of whistleblowers that have come out and made further allegations... I'm sure they will have unexpectedly decided to do that in a random location shortly after they start giving testimony
Good job Hawley. You are correct the CEO is the problem not the workers
It's never that clean of a separation. In all safety environments the workers know when things are messed up, so they don't get an automatic pass. If Boeing got this bad, can you imagine the rot in the health care and nuclear power industries right now that will only become evident when something bad happens - like Covid or a meltdown?
Yet Hawley and is fellow insurrectionist repubs are the ones that created the business model Boeing and others use- it’s called the gop business model. Remove all regulations and trust the ceo, board and company to never put profit over anything else. It’s never worked but they’ve convinced the ignorant gop voters that it works as they rake in record salaries, donate large sums to Repub politicians, and put profit over safety and everything else.
if he hurts boeing the airbus co.in france will get more buisess, and hurt america workers , be careful what you wish for hawley
I already only fly Airbus. Boeing should go bust so superior European airplanes can take over the market, just like with cars.
@@honpot2016 He had no right to imply a huge number of Boeing's planes were falling out of the sky- calhoun could have made the Senator more enlightened with some massive figures on flight hours/cycles- why he chose to take such hyperbole is beyond me!!
Spot on. It's always about GREED!
Used to be a supplier to Boeing. The bureaucracy and red tap dealing with them is insanity.
Not anymore, they are using Dawn and hotel keycards.🤪
Money over safety and security.
"You're the problem!"
Oh my god, I didn't expect that.
Speaking the truth
I am an aerospace engineer. The CEO has given insufficient answers on every front, whether that be management culture, subcontractor oversight, root causes for both past and current aircraft failures, improvement of quality control and protection from inferior parts (never-mind the fact that airlines also use inferior replacement parts). I will no longer fly Boeing aircraft. Hear me airlines. I will not fly Boeing aircraft. I value my life and my family’s life too much.
Many people does not even know about this.
*_"They don't care about you at all, at all, at all!"_* --George Carlin
George Clooney is the wrong George to listen too...George Carlin RIP has been calling every bit of what is unfolding today, years ago in his shows.
The plane should be assembled completely in the USA by the same company
It is assembled in the USA by the same company. Boeing in Everett WA or Charleston SC
This guy doesn’t care, he makes 33 million a year
Exactly. He takes a couple of hours out of his day to “answer” questions.
He makes more than that. That wealth leads to investments that compound every year.
anyone that speaks out against boeing doesnt seem to be doing too well. *cough* engineer whistleblowers *cough*
Yes - he is the problem - nicely said.
Who's killing the witnesses
the same guy who is face is 🍅 after the invstagtor 😂
Worked at Boeing for many years. downward spiral began when DEI started. Very valuable people in management, engineering and elsewhere were replaced with “other people” with less experience. Fact
Who is overseeing all of these suppliers for quality control?
All about the dollars
Way to make this CEO accountable Senator Hawley! Run for President some day. You will have my vote.
I like Hawley but making absurd hyperbole like a huge number of Boeing's planes are falling from the sky is ridiculous!! If only the man knew the massive numbers of flight hours/cycles!
Hawley ran from The Capitol from protesters on Jan 6th after he gave those protesters a fist in the air hours earlier.
@@brandonbrown4819compared to Airbus?
The employees are the best in the world. Thank you, Senator, for that acknowledgement.
let's begin with the CEO stepping down.
He is at the end of the year and taking Boeing's money with him
Even if he leaves or gets fired he'll still get his golden parachute and tens of millions of dollars. It amazes me that they can fire the CEO of Disney and have to give him an extra $80 million above and beyond his pay for firing him early. We're firing you for running in the company into the ground here's more money we can't afford to throw away.
He is being replaced with a woman with an accounting degree.
ceo seems like an angry person
A very wealthy one. Pockets full of Chinese currency.
@@joebryniarski6698Don't forget about their private and military sectors which make the commercial side seem like child's play.
@@joebutta7539 The truth is that Boeing is making a MINT with the different military planes & equipment that they manufacture. To be honest, I'm not so sure about the private sector simply because they don't build nearly as many private planes as they do military and commercial.
@@Bulldog1653 Phantom works my friend (classified/private projects)
Boeing's private global services business is their largest contributor to profits.
@@Bulldog1653 Phantom works my friend...Boeing's Global Services division is their biggest profit contributor.
The commercial division are ancient relics compared to what they really have.
Don't sugar-coat it, Sen. Hawley.
It’s time that we REQURE CEO compensation to be tied to the compensation for the workers.
Boeing can't do anything right anymore. I wonder why.
Didn't Earn It....
They’re showing how diversity is a strength. 😂😂😂😂
Calhoun should be in jail
If the government has no accountability why would a corporation?? LOL
Disgraceful, shameful.
Gotta call BS on the new contract offer for their upcoming contract. IAM&AW will be on strike in September walking the picket line.
What did Pratt witney build for boing
Wow!! So greatly said
It's seriously worrying that so many of these Boeing whistleblowers are committing "suicide". They need to be put on FBI level witness protection and have bodyguards at all times
Yes!!!! These poor victims deserve to see this man in prison!!!
And his salary
NOTHING IN THE USA SHOULD EVER BE OUTSOURCED,,,,,,EVERYTHING SHOULD BE MADE HERE IN THE USA 🇺🇸 😊
It's a little horrifying how many goods from so many companies and including military and police protective gear is made with prison slave labor... And while Congress will go on Long tirades about not allowing any goods made with slave labor to be imported with other countries they will defend prison slave labor even though the prisoners are forced to work for zero pay and unsafe conditions with no job training and given no useful job skills that they can rely upon to find a job if and when they ever are released from prison. Unfortunately the system is broken because it is incarceration based and not rehabilitation based.
Trump said that and they all thought he was a fraud
The Dawn dish soap is special aerospace grade, you can tell by the two young yellow ducks on the label. It's actually the best way to check for air leaks around door seals.
Bubble recipes call for Joy. 😂
Amen, he gets 34 million while some of his employees are on government assistance
There is no reason whatsoever to outsource airplane parts . They are extremely expensive and VERY profitable.
This guy rocks !
33 million a year for a company that’s becoming worthless. I never thought I would say that about Boeing.
Sourced. Ode word for cheap labor
I work for Airbus and funnily enough we were gonna have a contract a few years ago for Boeing parts but then turned against it. It’s got to be bad when you want your competitor to make your planes for you 😂
This guy should be in jail.
they have to be stopped....but when?
..ah,
.. mirror icon..😱
It's weird hearing a congressman tell a CEO that THEY are the problem...like has congress seen what it's done? (or more like the lack of what they've done.) They've made sure to make plenty of money being public "servants" though.
because dying citizens = losing support = losing vote = losing seat
Criminal prosecution underway.
I've heard this whole "Dawn dish soap / cheesecloth / hotel key card" thing over and over. I have an honest question: Is it possible that these things are actually a very good way to perform the work that was being done? If I have a slow leak in a tire on my car, the mechanic will take the wheel off the car and roll it through a container of soapy water to see where bubbles appear from the tire. That pinpoints the leak. Is it possible that applying Dawn dish soap to a door seal is actually a great way to detect leaks? And is it possible that cheesecloth is a good thing to wipe a door seal with?
As former manufacturing worker and now an engineer, my opinion is that actually there is no technical problem in using liquid soap instead of chemicals like daphne to lubricate door seals in assembly and use something as thin as a card key instead of a dedicated ruler to check for tolerances. The problem here is that in aerospace industry, all the actual procedures must be documented and followed no matter how mundane and unorthodox it sounds. With millions of people working in the supply chain, if one worker starts improvising without proper oversight, things can get out of hand quickly. Not only that FAA auditions into Boeing and Spirit Aerosystem found that many workers did not know by heart some of the basic safety related criteria and procedures.
You're spot on, and I should have known. Before I retired, I was an app developer for a major airline. One of my apps was used to approve adds, deletes, and changes to work cards. I just forgot how AMTs must adhere very carefully to documented procedures.
It can be a good solution to use these things. I'm an engineer and I have used dish soap to test for leacks and even in a chemical reactor (it worked better than most official chemicals); I have also used a food processor to make a make-shift centrifuge. If it works, it works. Most engineers will take these short-cuts. They are trained to do that.
The problem, however, isn't that these methods are necessarily bad, it's that these methods are untrackable and undocumentable. The short-cuts I mentioned? I used them when working in a small startup company with 10 employees (including the managers). I could meet everyone in under an hour, tell them what I did, get their point of view, and fix any safety concerns. Boeing can't do that. They have thousands of employees in an industry with a very minimal margines of error. So, any makeshift solution, no matter how good, will not be a viable option since It can't be realistically verified, tested, and expanded. When workers in a company like Boeing are using these makeshift methods, even if these methods work, there is no guarantee that others will not use other makeshift methods that don't work. This in turn results in faults slipping through, a more lax safety system (since everyone will be used to looking the other way when someone does something strange), and an overall loss in quality. Of course, the real problem is not that the workers and engineers use these methods, it's that they are forced to use these methods. You usually make a way when there is no way readily available. For a small company with a small budget or someone doing a home renovation? That's 90% of the times. For a company like Boeing? It should be 0% of times.
How many of your colleagues have voted time and again to fund Boeing, rescue Boeing etc.
Lets these companies that outsource pay tarrifs
The kindness in these comments is overwhelming. Thank you all!
Everything seems to be driven by the almighty dollar, making things as cheap as possible, not paying attention to actually building a plane right. Very sad😠
Rich get richer. Poor stay poor.
Is the employees going to get a 45% increase to match his ? I doubt it . The employees need to dump their Union . It sounds worthless . And if they stopped the DEI Hiring it might be better .
These type of corporations are sickening. Prioritizing profits for shareholders above all else, regardless of the real-world consequences, has become the norm. We no longer see companies striving to create the best products possible; instead, they focus solely on maximizing profits, no matter the true cost.
From “ If it’s not Beoing I am not going it gone to if it’s Boeing I am not going.
Answer the damn question!!!!!!!
China's CMAC has a perfect safety record, never a crashed jet.
1% raise increase over 8 years
Wait a minute ? Does Calhoun join Boeing after the crash ? If so, that’s not his issue, but the ex CEO should take responsibility on it.
Hopefully the company doesn’t pay someone too silence this guy next.
I remember watching an interview of this guy a couple of years back. Smugness and condescension in every word he uttered... Really despicable!
They gave him a 14 million dollar raise for that!
It’s says something when a Boeing ceo is driven by share prices and not the mistakes of his predecessor that led to deaths of hundreds of people.
Seems that CEOs are often overrated, overpaid, don't know
very much of their company and won't take resposibility
when it really counts.
I don’t usually align with Republicans on many issues, but I couldn’t stop smiling while watching this. Thank you Josh Hawley for holding Boeing responsible and for advocating for the middle class!
How much did Calhoun make last year again?
Greed. It hurts to see Boeing like this.
Why did Boeing feel the need to email the entire workforce with a warning about what they post on social media? Does that signal something?
most companies committing crimes do this upon onboarding, and also make you sign an NDA
Damn! Yeah, I really, really avoid Boeing planes whenever I'm flying and would rather fly with AirBus planes even if cost a bit more.
I nearly feel bad for the CEO… nearly! That wage increase of 1% over 8 years vs. the managements wage increase is shameful. 😮
The workers also had to give up their pension, if I recall correctly. The union had very little negotiating power back then. Things are different now. Boeing is the one with little negotiating power this time around.
Hawley...DISH SOAP (Dawn, Ajax, Palmolive, etc.) is a maintenance method used in repairing tires, installing gas appliances and troubleshooting air pressure systems (like in aviation). It it the quickest and cheapest way of finding an AIR LEAK in any of those practices...not to mention HIGHLY RELIABLE. Still used today and will be in the future.
There are Log books that document EVERY Aircraft Repair and Who Repaired it.
If we assume these were not altered
I don't believe no senator or politician profit from what boeing did before
Holy fucking shit this guy is truly amazing !!!!
I think they should take the money back from CEO and put it to engineering and testing.
Boeing said no more travel work. Once the 90 days were over travel work started again haha
Josh Hawley is the politician with the huge amount of common sense which is not that often these days as it turns out, it looks like he is the voice of the people and he is there for his people and not for his personal gains (at least not in that extent like the other politicians) i think he would be a great president.
Does Hawley own an American or a foreign car? If he drives an American car how much of the parts are made outside the US?
Personification of pure unashamed evil.
Body language shows a lier, and a crook..how can such a weasel run a company that affects human lives?
Not a mistake when he and his buddies at Black Rock and Vanguard are making money.
I fng love Josh Hawley, a great patriot.
This guy won't give a straight answer
The American workforce leaves much to be desired. i work in manufacturing and i am all for things being made in America, but until the public rediscovers their pride and stops being demoralized things will only get worse from here. there are so many problems at play. some of the problem lies with in hr departments making it impossible for companies to rid themselves of terrible employees who contribute nothing to the bottom dollar and have no desire to. some of the problem lies within the fact that corporate loyalty has all but died because of an obsession with profits and a perversion of the concept of lean manufacturing. i am happy to say that it seems like these problems are beginning to be recognized and dealt with. i hope we can return to a place where it means something for a good to be made in America. The only way we will get there though is if the productive American worker can trust that his or her efforts will not be made in vain. they have to believe they are stable in their craft and they have to believe that their hard work is necessary to their improvement and the companies success. if Billy busts his ass all day and is a devoted individual who carries himself with integrity, but the majority of people around him have no regard for their performance or the company policies and never suffer consequences for their actions, then billy will only continue to do well if his principles and moral code won't allow him to do otherwise. I genuinely hope and believe things will get better. we just have a long way to go.
This dude always calls out the greedy fucks, more politicians like him please
Boeing......Dr Fauci... Bill Gates.....doin their part.
Rapacious executives would do anything to max out their profit regardless of quality. Yet they still make brazen and embarrassing statements regarding their confidence in the suppliers.
.....ello,
ello, ello..!
..😠
..whats this .👽
A man.. no, sorry, let me correct that.. a boy who cannot admit his own mistakes has no place in the position of CEO; especially if its one in charge of our safety while travelling.
Should put him in prison or at least fine him to pennyless
Hawley is a goat
there's a reason why this guy is getting paid so much. he's doing exactly what's he's been appointed to do. do you honestly think boeing cares? why they're making so much money? if someone offered you $1millionn to do your current job less good, what would you do?
They (the machinists) got a 1% raise, you got a 45% raise last year.
Boom
The 737s that crashed in Ethiopia and Indonesia were flown by pilots who had no idea what they were doing. The official accident investigations revealed that they did not follow standard procedures which would have allowed them to avoid crashing the planes, this is indisputable. The angle of attack sensor on the Indonesian plane was installed incorrectly by a Lion Air technician who falsified documents about the installation. The Ethiopian angle of attack sensor was most likely struck by a bird on takeoff, but the official Ethiopian investigation didn't even look for bird remnants near the runway used for takeoff. Maybe more people would understand this if the mainstream media was more interested in fact finding than scaremongering.
Let's say that's accurate, you don't think there are any issues with Boeing and how it changed since the merger? Doors being pulled off? The internal communications about the 737 MAX? How they got around the training regulations?
@@theflyingkaramazovbrothers6 There was no "getting around" training regulations, the development process of the 737 MAX is documented in great detail in the NTSB's Docket on Lion Air 610. There's a reason why 737s were safely flying all over the world before the crashes, and why they continue to do so today. No one wants anyone to be hurt or killed but modern airliners are extraordinarily complex. The statistics speak to the objective safety of Boeing's planes.
That's what capitalism gets you , Profit over people.
“ vertically integrate”…. This guy sure has a lot of corporation speak.. they should look into why whistleblowers are getting offed and threatened to be quiet.
he ended with "thank you Mr. Chairman."
brits would have ended with "bugger off, Mr. Wanker."
Insane to think that he made 33 million last year and their machinists can't get more than a 1% raise over 16 years
Jobs are being outsourced because it’s cheap labor. Not just Boeing but a lot of companies do that now.
Hence the job market is bleak.
made in China ...that says it all for safety
all this video is missing is the canned laughter
When you sell your souls to money.....
