Boeing Whistleblower Reveals Use of Defective Parts in Dreamliners

Former quality-control manager alleges over 50,000 unsuitable parts were incorporated to meet production deadlines.

Merle Meyers, a 30-year Boeing veteran, claims defective parts were taken from scrap yards and used in aircraft assembly.
Meyers estimates around 50,000 parts bypassed quality control over more than a decade.
Boeing faces increased scrutiny and criminal investigation following multiple whistleblower allegations.
The company has admitted to past retaliation against whistleblowers but claims to have improved its practices.
Meyers continues to advocate for change, sharing his concerns with federal investigators and a Senate panel.
