“Five years ago, Boeing made a promise to overhaul its safety practices and culture. That promise proved empty, and the American people deserve an explanation,” Blumenthal said when he announced the hearing. He called Calhoun's testimony a necessary step for Boeing to regain public trust. A Boeing whistleblower and former employees testified to a Senate committee on Wednesday on allegations of company cover ups of serious safety issues with Boeing aircrafts. “I want to make clear that I have raised these issues over three years,” whistleblower and quality engineer Sam Salehpour testified. “I was ignored, I was told not to create delays and I was told, frankly, to shut up.
Boeing pushed back against the whistleblower's claims, saying that extensive testing and inspections showed none of the problems that the engineer had predicted.
