10 out of 15 Boeing Engineers said in an interview they wouldn't fly on a Dreamliner. There are plenty of youtube videos citing Boeings problems and especially the problems with the 787.

The "Culture" Of Boeing is skewed to Profit above all else. Probably Accountant driven Union Hating and  establishing and sub contracting  NEW companies where work conditions are a bit wild and primitive. I've never been Keen on the Dreamliner but it does have colossal range. There was never any secret among those watching what was going on about Boeings workplace Culture and cost cutting. The short Undercarriage  limited the type of engines that could be fitted to the older 737's which already had rudder actuation Problems. causing fatalities . I chose to NEVER be endorsed on them.

The AAIB has released a statement saying they expect to produce a preliminary report by about July 11th. But the preliminary report will only be around 4 to 5 pages and just confirm basic details of the crash. However, it may also indicate the lines of investigation, and therefore the pointers to the cause of the crash.

 

The investigation is ruling out nothing at this point, and is including possible sabotage as one of the lines of investigation. This is not to say sabotage is suspected, only that they have to investigate the potential of sabotage, and examine any information (witnesses or black box evidence) that could increase the likelihood of any sabotage.

That there has been not even a hint of grounding airframes for any checks is at this point telling.

Certainly if no such recommendation comes in the next few days then Boeing will be relieved
