A new whistleblower from Spirit AeroSystems, Santiago Paredes, alleged that he found up to 200 defects in Boeing 737 Max fuselages but was pressured to ignore them to meet production quotas. Simultaneously, the FAA opened a probe into the North Charleston Boeing plant after reports that employees falsified inspection records for the 787 Dreamliner. The ongoing safety scandals have led to speculation about a push for unionization in South Carolina's aerospace industry.

Boeing engineer Sam Salipour testified before a Senate committee, alleging that the company took manufacturing shortcuts on the 787 Dreamliner that could lead to structural failure. Salipour claimed he faced retaliation and threats after reporting that fuselage gaps were not properly closed. Other whistleblowers criticized the FAA for being "lazy and reactive" in its oversight of Boeing's production mess.

Boeing whistleblower Sam Salehpour alleged that sections of the 787 Dreamliner's fuselage are improperly fastened, potentially leading to structural failure over time. The FAA is investigating these claims as Boeing's stock hits a five-month low. Separately, a Southwest Airlines Boeing 737 experienced an engine cowling detachment during takeoff in Denver, an incident attributed to maintenance issues rather than design flaws.

The late Boeing whistleblower John Barnett alleged in a 32-page retaliation complaint that the company's move to South Carolina led to a decline in safety and quality control culture. Barnett claimed management pressured employees to ignore FAA standards and install defective parts on the 787 Dreamliner. While the coroner ruled his death a suicide, his lawyers are proceeding with a federal labor lawsuit scheduled for trial this summer.

- **Transcript:** https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/500-codeword-austin/chapter/code-word-austin-787-dreamliner-and-terrorist-staging.md

The hosts speculate that the repeated mention of "Austin" in North Korean propaganda is a code word rather than a literal target. They explore potential links to the Boeing 787 Dreamliner (matching Austin's 787 area code) and the possibility of a staged EMP or "boom" event to justify new security technology. The movie "Olympus Has Fallen" is cited as part of the cultural conditioning for such an event.

Boeing engineers are blaming the 787 Dreamliner's grounding on poor quality components resulting from excessive outsourcing. Reports indicate that the plane's power distribution panels contain "cheap plastic" parts prone to failure, validating the hosts' long-standing "plastic plane" theory regarding the 787's structural and electrical issues.

Concerns were raised regarding the Boeing 787 Dreamliner and whether passengers using onboard Wi-Fi could potentially hack into the aircraft's flight control systems.
