JAKARTA - The Federal Aviation Administration is investigating Boeing after whistleblowers made a report on its concerns about two wide-body jet models. Boeing replied to the report.
The whistleblower is Sam Salehpour, a Boeing engineer. He said, Boeing took a shortcut when producing 777 jets and 787 Dreamliners. The risk could be a disaster when the age of the plane grew, as quoted from various media that we summarized.
This report is known by The New York Times,
Salepour's official complaint to the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) was filed in January. It is not specific whether it refers to the latest 737 Max jets that have been banned from flying twice by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA).
Two quality problems that can significantly reduce the lifespan of the aircraft, said Salehpour.
"I'm not doing this because I want Boeing to fail, but because I want Boeing to succeed and prevent an accident," Salepour said.

The FAA has interviewed Salepour as part of its investigation.
"We strongly encourage everyone in the aviation industry to share information," the FAA said.
"We are fully confident in the safety and resilience of the 777 family," Boeing said in a statement denying Salepour's reporting.
The claim regarding the structural integrity of 787 is inaccurate and does not represent Boeing's comprehensive efforts to ensure the quality and safety of aircraft in the long term, the company said in a statement.
