EVERETT, Wash. - Washingtoner -- An Open Letter to the Flying Public, Global Investors, and Aerospace Industry Suppliers

My name is Daryl Guberman, and for more than four decades I have been recognized as a Quality Assurance expert across the aerospace, medical, and manufacturing sectors. I am also a Boeing shareholder, and I am issuing this letter as a public warning to every investor, supplier, subcontractor, and passenger whose safety, capital, or livelihood depends on the integrity of Boeing aircraft.

It has come to light—through my own independent research and on-site investigation—that Boeing has operated for more than 22 years without AS9100 certification, the globally recognized quality standard for aerospace manufacturing.

During this same period, Boeing sat on the ANSI-ASQ National Accreditation Board (ANAB) Management Systems Accreditation Committee, the very entity responsible for granting, suspending, or withdrawing AS9100 and ISO 9001 certifications to others in the industry.

This dual role represents an unmistakable conflict of interest: Boeing has helped influence the oversight mechanism of certification without itself being certified.

In July 2002—just seven months after 9/11—Boeing issued a supplier bulletin mandating that all suppliers be AS9100 certified through ANAB-accredited registrars, yet Boeing itself operated outside that same certified framework.

In June 2024, Boeing's Vice President of Quality, Elizabeth Lund, stated publicly that Boeing was "willing to get AS9100 certification."

This confirmed, at long last, that Boeing had produced aircraft for more than two decades without valid certification, during which time approximately 12,000 commercial aircraft and over 400 military aircraft were built.

Among them were the aircraft involved in the 2018 and 2019 Ethiopian and Indonesian airline disasters, which claimed 346 lives.

Was it simply a design flaw, or the predictable outcome of building planes in an uncertified, unverified, and unsanctioned environment?

Even more alarming is that the new Air Force One program — the very aircraft intended to carry the President of the United States — has been developed inside this same uncertified system, blending compliant parts with a non-certified production framework.

This is a national security and public trust issue of the highest order.

The FAA and DOD: Oversight Entangled

How can we, as citizens, shareholders, or travelers, rely on the FAA or DOD for oversight when both agencies sit on the ANSI–ANAB Board — the same accreditation body entangled with Boeing's operations?

In 2009, the FAA authorized Boeing to self-certify its own aircraft and its own technologies, including the MCAS flight control system that contributed to the deaths of 346 passengers.

Was this truly a technical failure, or the inevitable result of a collapsed quality management system built on internal privilege instead of independent verification?

Even worse, FAA "inspectors" stationed at Boeing were full-time Boeing employees paid by Boeing, creating a dual-loyalty conflict that turned oversight into a formality.

A Systemic Corrosion of Accreditation and Accountability

After 22 years of absence from proper certification, Boeing's management of its own quality environment — while seated in the very boardroom of the organization tasked with oversight — has corroded the bedrock of trust that defines American aerospace.

The ANSI–ANAB structure, once meant to safeguard quality, has instead become an instrument of concealment, and Boeing's participation in that system has spread contamination throughout global manufacturing supply chains.

The result is not merely a paperwork issue.

It's a structural, moral, and legal collapse of the mechanisms that ensure aircraft safety and product integrity.

A Final Word — Reclaiming Integrity

I, Daryl Guberman, have spent my career inside the systems that are supposed to protect the public, assure product quality, and keep American manufacturing trustworthy.

What I have witnessed within Boeing, the FAA, the DOD, and the ANSI–ANAB accreditation network convinces me that the framework of oversight itself has been corroded by conflicts of interest and compromised by those it was designed to regulate.

In my professional assessment, Boeing and the ANSI–ANAB system together have undermined the credibility of aerospace accreditation.

Through their interlocked influence, they have created an environment where accountability is diluted, independence is lost, and certification has become a marketing phrase rather than a safeguard.

After 15 years as CEO of my own quality firm and over 40 years of direct experience in manufacturing and quality assurance, I have studied and evaluated these failures from every angle.

That experience makes me, in my professional judgment, the only quality expert qualified and independent enough to confront this crisis head-on — the go-to person capable of leading a return to verified, transparent, and lawful standards.

I can help right this sinking ship, but it cannot be done through any organization tied to ANSI–ANAB or its international equivalents.

Those entities and their underwriters must accept full legal accountability for both systemic and product failures under their oversight.

Only then can investors, suppliers, and the flying public once again believe that "Certified Quality" truly means quality.

This is not only my warning — it is my commitment: to rebuild the foundation of American trust in the systems that guard our lives in the air and our investments on the ground.Because ANSI-ANAB are the underwriter, for IAF-ILAC and in January IAF-ILAC  will be rebranded to GLOBAC Global accreditation cooperation) Changing the name will not rectify the DAMAGE DONE!

Respectfully,
