BOEING COMPANY has established itself as a leading player in state-of-the-art aerospace engineering. The firm has built a reputation on its major emphasis on layers of added security and fail-safe features in its aircrafts. For a large part of the twentieth century, Boeing prioritized safety of passengers, technological advancements, and top-notch aerospace engineering. It prided itself as a firm that was driven largely by its engineers rather than quarterly earnings.

It all changed when Boeing merged with the American aerospace manufacturing corporation and defense contractor McDonnell Douglas in 1997. After the merger, Boeing’s priorities shifted and started stunting towards shareholder returns, production targets, and cost discipline. Engineers who once held authority were overpowered by financial executives who only sought profit and wanted to produce aircrafts faster and cheaper.

How Cost-Cutting Changed Boeing's Safety Culture

Fatigued employees, skipped installation procedures, poor electrical bonding and grounding, unqualified workers performing crucial electrical work, rushing of functional system testing, and removal of long-established quality inspections were some of the “dangerous practices” that whistleblower Ed Pierson had flagged in multiple Boeing programs.

Pierson is a former Boeing engineer, who now serves as executive director of the Foundation of Aviation Safety, a non-profit organization dedicated to informing the public about critical issues involving aviation safety.

The 787 Dreamliner program, in particular, bore the impacts of this huge shift in Boeing’s priorities. The line was touted one of the “safest” aircraft lines within the company’s entire operation. Boeing describes the Dreamliner as offering “advanced aerodynamics, more efficient engines, and more electric systems.” The 787 Dreamliner programme was officially launched in 2004, years after Boeing’s cost-cutting practices started.
