TL;DR Summary

Boeing engineer Sam Salehpour alleges that the company took "shortcuts" in the production of the 787 Dreamliner, potentially compromising its safety, and faced retaliation for speaking up. This adds to a growing list of current and former employees who claim Boeing ignored their concerns and retaliated against them. The company denies the allegations, but experts and whistleblowers say there's a disconnect between Boeing's management and the factory floor. Salehpour is scheduled to testify before a Senate subcommittee next week.
