Well if the issue in your company that QA has essentially been cut from the budget by reducing times so much that it no longer feasible. I would not send anyone anywhere in your equipment unless it is independently audited.

Make the Boeing CEO and other executives be the first human guinea pigs in this thing.
I suspect there is at least one engineer who voiced concerns months or years ago, was not listened to, and is now having an "I told you so" moment.
They've know about the helium leak for a month now but managers โdid not consider it significant enough to stop the launchโ. It's always incompetent managers.
Reminds me of Roger Boisjoly who desperately objected to launching space shuttle Challenger in cold weather. Managers struck again that day.
No one would expect that
Another chapter in the endless clown show.
Clowns are generally highly-skilled professionals who care about their audience. Please don't compare them to Boeing.
Good thing too, we don't need a door plug raining down from orbit
But that taxpayer money keep flowing!
Any new dead whistleblowers?

Not in this specific case. Starliner is a fixed-price contract, not cost-plus. Boeing is having to foot the bill for their own incompetence, and I'm all here for it!
Damn how did they botch that so bad? SpaceX effect?
Boeing engineers traced the leak to a flange.
I expected software issues, maybe avionics, but a flange? How.
It's Boeing. Instead of making an aircraft that actually flew well, they designed an entire extra system that pretends to react like the plane doesn't react, and then that system FORCIBLY NOSEDIVES PLANES randomly.
I'm almost surprised it's not something more stupid.
You misheard. Itโs a problem with plange. Computer plange. Specifically snibbits.
It's a helium leak. Helium has the capability to leak out of almost anything.
