Just like their planes. Al Jazeera made a really awesome documentary about Boeing and their terrible quality control. They gave some workers at one of the major Boeing assembly facilities hidden cameras and microphones, and let them interview their colleagues. The factory is full of crackheads, and most of Boeing's own employees who literally put the fucking planes together said that they wouldn't fly on these planes themselves.

Rejects from the plane assembly line. Now that's scary!

It's what we call a normal day at Boeing

They did another documentary years prior on the 737 NG, equally damning.
