It goes without saying that the past year has been really rough for Boeing. The worst situation has involved the 737 MAX being grounded globally following two fatal crashes. On top of that, Boeing’s brand new 777X has been delayed as well.

Shaun As for airplanes it will happen. I will give you one example of Chinese fraud. They supplies adulterated Heparin to a US company that killed around 17 people. (google it if you would like) They were so slick that normal testing didn't pick it up. Their high speed rail lines are fast because they cut corners on safety. Notice almost no other country has ordered any of their jets?

@dan Please refresh my faulty memory about the recent incidents where two CHINESE manufactured commercial aircraft crashed killing hundreds of people and then that dastardly CHINESE aircraft manufacturer denied it was at fault, and in fact, the foreign devil pilots were really to blame because they didn't know how to handle these perfectly fine CHINESE aircraft !

@Dan You're right about cars, trains, and medical devices. Which is why the best we can do in those situations when we can't avoid the use of the product itself is to avoid using certain brands that have a poor reputation for quality. Same thing here - no one is swearing off flying in general - but what we are saying is that we will just simply plan on flying a different model plane or a craft from Airbus instead. Also - email leaks happen in similar non-Boeing situations all the time. Stop trying so hard to defend them specifically. I remember there was similar leaks of internal bantering that reflected a poor light on the company when Takata was going through their big airbag recall snafu. Happens a lot when the light is getting shined on a specific company for a major wrongdoing.

It must really suck to be an engineer at Boeing these days. Mismanagement at the top, leaks of email conversations, and an ignorant public that does not know what to believe. Our society has been overrun by social media where everyone is entitled and an expert but no one is in charge.

RC Maybe so but if you own a car ride transit or take meds you are at the same risk. Those automatic defribulators And other medical devices also had/have software bugs. the insanity that goes on in the medical world over saving a few dollars puts should really have you worried. But those emails don’t get leaked

@dan You are right - I'm absolutely sure the quality of most of the products I use every day are of crappy qualityOnly difference is I don't rely on those products to keep me flying 35k feet up in the air.

@John I would suggest waiting for the E-check, the D-check comes prematurely for me. I would also advise you never to fly Qatar Airways.

The telegraph article is a whole load of trash and taken out of context in order to get views. The emails relate to the flight simulator NOT the actual aircraft. People just take everything at face value without actually fact checking or investigating
