That documentary is very naive. This is a good review: https://www.forbes.com/sites/airchive/2014/09/10/review-al-j...

this is weak industry pr. the fact is that boeing did not have safety issues before finance took over, and that opening a non-union shop for the purpose of labor fungibility is going to result in less experienced workers with a lower stake on average. it doesn't even bother mentioning what i linked, which is that 2/3 of the informally surveyed employees lack confidence in the final product to the point that they wouldn't want their families to fly on the planes.

Seems like a totally unbiased source. /s
I mean, do you really not understand how that sort of thing is done? They ask 100 people and then edit it down to the 5 most extreme responses.

While that's a reasonable suspicion to have, the reporting in this case
is accurate.
I'm from Charleston, where the plant is located, & I have several friends that work at Boeing in assembly and quality inspection. What you see in the video is exactly the same sentiment I've heard for years.

While I always remain skeptical, they said that they asked 15 and 10/15 wouldn't fly on it.
