Warning Bells

At times the Boeing MAX story seems like a book with missing chapters. A movie with no ending. What caused the crashes? Who was to blame? When was the trial?  The primary reason these questions linger unanswered is due to a little known and hard to understand legal process. The DPA. This episode will delve into what it is and what it did. It will forever change anything you’ve ever believed about justice.

Join Ed and 30 year Boeing employee Chris Lee as they provide an enlightening and often troubling view of the 737 Factory during the building of the 737 MAX.

Ed is joined by the President of Flyers Rights and prominent rights advocate Paul Hudson to discuss the FOIA (Freedom of Information Act) request and subsequent lawsuit filed in an attempt to gain access to data on the recertification of the 737 Max planes.

Ed is joined by former FAA Safety Engineer Joe Jacobson as they delve into the latest MAX incident reports and system malfunctions.

Ed is joined by his attorney Chris McLamb of Constantine Cannon to respond to some of the many questions sent to him about the Whistleblowing experience.

BREAKING NEWS: Ed delves into a disturbing revelation that Boeing has requested a second extension of the equipment exemption allowing them to avoid installing modern crew alerting systems on the Boeing 737-7 MAX and Boeing 737-10 MAX. The new system is designed to mitigate the pilot startle-effect and confusion during complex, compound system malfunctions to better enable crews to identify system failures and prioritize corrective actions that could save lives.

Ed Pierson chronicles an introductory overview of the early events that led up to becoming the Boeing whistleblower. From the initial warning signs he observed in the factory prior to two fatal crashes of the 737-MAX airplane, his prior efforts to raise concerns to Boeing leadership, and the ongoing efforts to help ensure the safety of the general public.

In June of 2018, warning bells went off for Ed Pierson, a Senior Manager at Boeing's 737 Factory. The production environment he helped oversee was becoming increasingly chaotic, leading to worrisome lapses in quality and safety. Months later, when two Boeing 737 MAX aircraft crashed in separate incidents, killing over 300 people, Pierson took action as a whistleblower, determined to shed light on the potential role played by production defects. Today, as a leading safety advocate in aviation, Pierson continues to push Boeing and Federal authorities to fully investigate and fix the 737 MAX. Join him as he discusses the latest safety-related news; chats with a fascinating array of whistleblowers, safety experts, policymakers, and business leaders from around the globe; and explores how all of us can keep our communities safer by heeding our own warning bells.
