What's happening at Boeing is a public safety crisis. But it goes much deeper than Boeing -- it's the FAA, the DOT, the NTSB, and the airlines themselves. Former Boeing 737 Program senior manager Ed Pierson joins us to expose the corporate greed, criminal negligence, and government ineptitude that continue to put the public at risk. For more information about Ed you can visit his website at https://edpierson.com or his podcast, "Alarm Bells".

Special thanks to Raimee Iacofano for co-producing. @ raimeetravel on Instagram and TikTok.
