Regarding inflight entertainment systems and safety. I worked for several divisions of Hughes Aircraft many years ago. I also did contract work for Hughes. I did a lot of work with engineering on aircraft entertainment and communication avionics. I found the environment hostile, and also found the supervisors on the assembly line forcing people to pass products that were not fully tested, just to keep the line moving. (many technicians were moved form engineering to assembly in hte engineering to production transition). I brought this matter to the attention of several supervisors and was let go, terminated because I slowed the process they told me. I found the management to be inept, uncaring, and only cared about moving the line along. All because I told them the test equipment calibration was expired. I had worked in the engineering department as an engineering technicican for about one year. I had also worked several years in other divisions in engineering and technician positions. One of my degrees is in electronic engineering.

To my horror a few year later, I learned of the death of people linked to inflight entertainment and communication equipment. No one would listen.

note: I have no idea if any of the equipment and the companies I worked for and was working with, were involved and/ or had any equipment involved in any incidents.
