    Pilots and engineers should make up the management of Boeing not bean counters.

    When Wall Street links the income of CEOs to the share price, results like this are expected.

    Not true… the last person to deal with the bolts on that door was an Alaska maintenance worker.

    Thank goodness this door plug did not take aircraft down. No one killed. This is a good lesson to Boeing. Obviously the aircraft is a good design airplane. It is proven, This is a one off job, and needs the process fixed. More quality inspection to inspect critical areas, before closing panels. All these news reports about boeing aircraft having issues, is normal. Engines always have issues here and there. This is a 747 engine fire, Fire bursted out, Fire loop detection system notified air crew, all system that boeing design extinguished engine fire and aircraft return to base. Brand new airbus 321 neo carrying pittsburgh steelers, lost engine oil pressure in #1 engine, and returned to base. One report briefly reported this on the news, No one cared about airbus, If that was boeing 24/7 news coverage. These reporters need to report something else.. They all sound stupid on aviation..

    I would investigate the people who are supposed to put those boats in and the people who supposed to check behind other people. Sound like something fishy going on in that company. I would also go as far as Check those people financial records.

    After the 2 deadly crashes of Boeing Max aircraft in 2018 and 2019 Trump gave Boeing immunity from being sued. So why should Boeing care about quality control. They have immunity.

  11. @henryposadas3309

    February 20, 2024 at 5:23 am

    As proven by the 737 max crashes Boeing prioritizes profit over quality and safety, and the FAA is in collusion. The mere fact that no executive was aent to priaon dsspite the fact that they knowingly lied about their MCAS system and then tried covering up the accident by blaming the pilots, proves that Boeing and FAA can get away with anything.

    Until an top executive goes to jail, the culture of profit over quality and safety will never end. They dont care until an American airline crashes kills all passengers.

    FAA checking up on Boeing is just PR damage control for both.

    I wonder why this journalist never brought up the 2 crashes?

  12. @3chords490

    February 20, 2024 at 5:23 am

    It’s always a pit organisational culture. As soon as a company like this loses its focus on quality and gets complacent then it will have consequences somewhere down the line.

    After Boeing merging with McDonnell Douglas in 1997, Boeing has been gradually down. New high rank managers/directors are former M.D. It appears that these former M.D. directors (now directors at Boeing after merging) have made poor decision & poor policy: (1) Over outsourcing of major high tech components to other companies, including foreign countries. (2) Increasing integration. Consequently, Boeing engineers have lost lots of valuable design skills on major high tech components; Contractors/subcontractors/foreign countries have gained experience and secret in major high tech components. Now, Boeing does less design, but more INTEGRATION. That's not the majority of Boeing engineers want. Another factor: CEO Calhoun has bachelor’s degree in accounting which not good background for management of Boeing. CEO with engineering/technical degree is preferred.

    Boeing sold facility in Wichita, KS to Spirit Aero is another poor policy (against the general A-Z in industry). Spirit has become one major contractor to build fuselage, and a number of major components for Boeing. Spirit has facility in Malaysia, thus, kind of subcontract to next lower level. Selling Wichita, KS facility and too many outsourcing, shrinks Boeing size in number of employees and facilities, and Boeing loses control of various major components.

    It is "NOT" a Boeing Design problem! In each example listed, it is a human that made a mistake and forgot. All of the incidents shown on screen have nothing to do with Boeing design, but simple human error. Human distraction, forgetting, and a mistake. When you dilute both the work force and the inspection force to hire on that basis of "anything" other than skill, then this is what you get. FAA and corporations have prioritized "who" we hire for quota purposes, and this is no doubt what we are going to be seeing more and more of.

    Management malfeasance top execs have a lock on Boeing and can not be fired. The CEO responsible for crashing two 737 max aircraft was given a $60 million parachute while two sets of crew and 300 passengers paid for it.

    The 747-8 incident shouldn't really have anything to do with Boeing because that's an issue related to the GE engine itself.

  41. @woodsie5474

    February 20, 2024 at 5:23 am

    At a bare minimum, Boeing has to have ALL their suppliers use the exact same quality control checklist software as they use. They all have to have a chain of product steps interact together so when the products are delivered, they know full well what has and has not been checked.

  42. @gendaminoru3195

    February 20, 2024 at 5:23 am

    This is "NEW" news? Spirit is fully under Boeing's control now. This is the deathnell of Calhoun…. euphamism is "escape" but there are plenty of QC checks along the way. It's called mismanagement. And they all missed it. Time for heads to roll. I won't fly a max. Plenty of good -800's in the air. But I feel better in an old "mad dog." You should have gone further back than Phil Condit, but to Harry Stonecipher. 5 years if and when they decide to finally do something about it. The culture is so keep your head down it's pathetic. In my day we could walk in to Lou Mancini's office and spill our guts if we saw something wrong. Time to short Boeing stock for the near term. It will not be a quick fix.
