"Boeing Stands Firm on 787 and 777 Safety Amid Whistleblower Allegations"

Boeing defended the safety and quality testing of its 787 Dreamliner and 777 aircraft after a whistleblower alleged structural flaws, claiming the allegations were inaccurate and that the planes are safe. The whistleblower, Sam Salehpour, is scheduled to appear at a Senate hearing about aircraft safety, and his claims are being investigated by the FAA. Boeing emphasized the rigorous testing and engineering examination the planes underwent, while Salehpour's lawyers allege retaliation by the company. Boeing faces investor questions about aircraft safety, production rates, and FAA oversight when it reports quarterly results on April 24.
