Hundreds of Boeing staff seemingly stepped on Air Force One aircraft despite lacking the proper credentials to do so.
Both the Department of Defense (DOD) and Boeing are launching probes to figure out why a multitude of employees for the plane manufacturer had outdated credentials while tending to to the federal executive fleet. Boeing became aware that highly sensitive security clearances for approximately 250 staff who work on Air Force One aircraft were expired, prompting mass suspensions by Boeing workers last week, Fox Business reported.
The expiration dates ranged anywhere from a couple of months up to 7 years, according to reporting originally reported by The Wall Street Journal. This has resulted in the suspension of the 250 staff-members working for Boeing. (RELATED: Pentagon Study Links Cancer Risk To Pilots, Ground Crews)
