On Thursday, factory workers will pause production for sessions on improving quality control. The FAA's boss said its investigation focuses on Boeing's quality control, not the door plug design. Nobody was seriously injured, but all 171 Boeing 737 Max 9 jets with a door plug have been grounded since. AdvertisementNEW: FAA Administrator Mike Whitaker tells me its probe of the Alaska Airlines blowout is focused on Boeing quality control issues. The 737 Max 9 door plug design is good "when properly executed," but "where we are looking now is quality assurance and quality control at Boeing."

The official, Mike Whitaker, said the FAA would not agree to any Boeing request to expand production of Max planes until the agency is satisfied that quality-control concerns have been addressed. The move came on the same day that a key senator indicated that Congress will join the scrutiny of Boeing. The National Transportation Safety Board is investigating the accident on an Alaska Airlines Max 9. Investigators are building a timeline of the door plug that failed, from the early stages of its production to the flight on which it blew off the plane. The Federal Aviation Administration is looking into whether Boeing and its suppliers followed proper safety procedures during manufacturing.

Alaska Airlines N704AL is seen grounded in a hangar at Portland International Airport in Portland, Oregon, on Jan. 9, 2024. The Federal Aviation Administration on Wednesday halted Boeing 's planned expansion of its 737 Max aircraft production, but it cleared a path for the manufacturer's Max 9 to return to service nearly three weeks after a door plug blew out during an Alaska Airlines flight. "Let me be clear: This won't be back to business as usual for Boeing," said FAA Administrator Mike Whitaker in a statement Wednesday. The grounding forced United Airlines and Alaska Airlines, the two U.S. airlines with the planes, to cancel hundreds of flights. The FAA is investigating Boeing's production lines after the Alaska flight.

☆ Grounded Boeing Max 9 Jets Could Resume Flying Within Days
▼ + stars: | 2024-01-24 | by ( Ben Casselman | ) www.nytimes.com time to read: +1 min

Federal regulators on Wednesday cleared the way for Boeing 737 Max 9 jets to fly again — but also said they would put new limits on production of the troubled planes. The Federal Aviation Administration grounded about 170 Max 9 planes on Jan. 6 after a body panel detached from an Alaska Airlines Max 9 minutes after the flight took off from Portland, Ore., leaving a gaping hole in the side of the jet. On Wednesday, the agency approved a set of inspection and maintenance procedures and said airlines could resume flying the jets once the checks were complete. The process includes requiring airlines to inspect certain bolts and fasteners and to re-torque fasteners on the panel, known as a door plug, which is placed where an emergency exit door would be if a jet had more seats. United Airlines said that it would begin inspecting its 79 Max 9 planes under the new guidelines and that it expected to start using them again on flights on Sunday.

☆ Premarket stocks: why over-optimistic investors may want to pump the brakes
▼ + stars: | 2024-01-24 | by ( Nicole Goodkind | ) edition.cnn.com time to read: +9 min

There’s plenty for investors to celebrate right now, but a look under the hood reveals quite a bit of decay. But it’s largely Big Tech that’s driving markets higher, and that concentration of gains in so few stocks carries inherent risk. But investors are adjusting expectations: Investors eventually get used to strong data, and come to expect it. “It’s hard for data to keep surprising in the same direction, since investors simply adjust their expectations,” said Allen. Just one month ago, more than 75% of investors thought the central bank would cut rates at their March meeting.

New York CNN —Boeing CEO David Calhoun’s Wednesday was decidedly a mixed bag: The Federal Aviation Administration finally approved a set of inspection criteria for the 171 grounded 737 Max 9 planes that, if followed, could return the aircraft to service. And the FAA said it would not grant any production expansion of the 737 Max lineup while its safety probe of Boeing continues. “We fly safe planes,” Calhoun said to reporters assembled on Capitol Hill. A week earlier, Calhoun acknowledged the company made a “mistake” at a staff-wide safety meeting, but he did not specify what that mistake was. Two Max variants — the Max 7 and the Max 10 — are still awaiting approval to begin carrying passengers.

United Airlines is weighing fleet plans without the Boeing 737 Max 10 after a series of delays and most recently, the grounding of a smaller variant of the plane, the carrier's CEO said Tuesday. The Max 10 is the largest model of the plane and hasn't yet been certified by the Federal Aviation Administration. United has 79 of the 737 Max 9 aircraft in its fleet, more than any other carrier. "We're going to at least build a plan that doesn't have the Max 10 in it." Last week, Delta Air Lines CEO Ed Bastian told CNBC last week that he is confident moving forward with his airline's order of Boeing Max 10s.

United has had dozens of Boeing 737 Max 9s grounded since loose bolts were discovered this month. The grounding came after a door plug blew off an Alaska Airlines aircraft mid-flight. Following the incident, the Federal Aviation Administration grounded 171 Boeing 737 Max 9 aircraft for inspections. Inspections at United revealed loose bolts in its Boeing 737 Max 9 aircraft.

The United Airlines CEO says he is “disappointed” in ongoing manufacturing problems at Boeing that have led to the grounding of dozens of United jetliners, and the airline will consider alternatives to buying a future, larger version of the Boeing 737 Max. United Airlines CEO Scott Kirby said Tuesday that Boeing needs “real action” to restore its previous reputation for quality. United has a standing order for Max 10 jets, a larger version of the Max line. The grounding of the Max 9 jets is likely to further complicate Boeing's drive to get the new models approved. Doing without the Max 10 probably means United won't grow as fast as it had hoped, Kirby added.

(CNN) — An earlier generation of the Boeing 737 may have issues similar to the door plug that flew out of the side of a recently made plane earlier this month. Since the incident on a newer Boeing 737 Max 9 just over two weeks ago, some airlines have inspected the earlier-built planes and observed “findings with bolts,” the agency said. After recent inspections of the newer Max 9s, United Airlines and Alaska Airlines have both found loose bolts. The FAA noted that the two generations of aircraft “have an identical door plug design.”The FAA notice does not ground the earlier generation of plane. Instead, it recommends that airlines inspect the four bolts that are intended to hold the door in place “as soon as possible.”The newer Max 9 aircraft continue to be grounded in the United States.
