Read previewBoeing's incoming CEO, Kelly Ortberg, is already signaling his intent to get the planemaker back on track. Later that month, The Seattle Times reported that Boeing's board shut down a shareholder's bid to move its headquarters back to Seattle. Outgoing CEO Dave Calhoun last year faced criticism from employees after commuting to Boeing's HQ by private jet, The Wall Street Journal reported. Airline bosses like Emirates' Tim Clark had called on Boeing to appoint a new CEO with an engineering background. Boeing's incoming CEO, Kelly Ortberg, is an aerospace veteran.

☆ Boeing blames missing paperwork for Alaska Air door plug incident
▼ + stars: | 2024-06-27 | by ( Gregory Wallace | Chris Isidore | ) edition.cnn.com time to read: +5 min

Renton, Washington CNN —The missing paperwork on the 737 Max that lost a door plug on an Alaska Airlines flight in January isn’t just making it difficult to find out who made the near tragic mistake. It was already well known that no documentation was found to show who worked on the door plug. Without the bolts, the door plug incident was pretty much inevitable. Removing a door plug after a plane arrives from Spirit AeroSystems rarely happens, Lund added, so no one was aware the door plug needed attention. NTSB Chair Jennifer Homendy has testified about the missing paperwork at Congressional hearings since then.

Add to that the noise surrounding the US election, and it could be a rougher second half. Central Banks in Canada and the eurozone have both cut interest rates, but inflation rose in both of those regions last month. Australia, meanwhile, saw its inflation rate rise to 4% this week, stoking fears that the Reserve Bank of Australia could soon move to raise rates again. It was already well known that no documentation was found to show who worked on the door plug. Without the bolts, the door plug incident was pretty much inevitable.

NTSB/APIn January, a Max 9 door plug blew out on an Alaska Airlines flight that took off from Portland, Oregon. Boeing's CEO, Dave Calhoun, hosted an all-hands meeting with employees shortly after the incident. "We're going to approach this, number one, acknowledging our mistake," Calhoun said at a 737 Max factory in Washington, according to multiple media outlets. Less than two weeks before that episode, Boeing had asked airlines to inspect all its 737 Max planes for loose bolts.

Even though the same jet model had crashed soon after taking off from Indonesia less than six months earlier, aviation authorities around the world had allowed the 737 Max to keep flying with passengers. A third incidentThis year, on January 5, a part of a 737 Max 9 flown by Alaska Airlines blew out, leaving a gaping hole in the side of the plane. Boeing’s production problems went beyond the design flaw that led to the crashes. “Within days of the first crash, Boeing knew there was a design defect,” Robert Clifford, one of the plaintiff attorneys in the case, told CNN. Last month, Boeing removed executive Ed Clark, the head of its 737 Max passenger jet program.

The report was required by Congress following two crashes in 2018 and 2019 of Boeing 737 Max planes, which killed everyone on board the flights.

☆ New problem found on Boeing 737 Max planes
▼ + stars: | 2024-02-04 | by ( Chris Isidore | Gregory Wallace | ) edition.cnn.com time to read: +1 min

New York CNN —A new problem has been found during the production of 737 Max jets that will force Boeing to rework about 50 planes that have not yet been delivered. The problem was disclosed in a memo sent to Boeing (BA) employees Sunday by Stan Deal, the head of the company’s commercial aircraft unit. An employee at Boeing supplier Spirit AeroSystems, which makes the fuselages of the 737 Max jets, notified the plane maker that two holes may not have been drilled exactly to Boeing’s requirements, according to Deal’s memo. While the exact cause of the incident is not yet known, Boeing CEO David Calhoun told investors on Wednesday: “We caused the problem, and we understand that.”“Whatever conclusions are reached, Boeing is accountable for what happened. “We simply must be better.”Deal’s Sunday memo said Boeing’s 737 Max factory in Renton, Washington would “dedicate several days … this week to focus on this important work, reflecting the premium we place on quality, safety and, ultimately, stability in our factories.”

Boeing is back in the headlines for all the wrong reasons again after the Alaska Airlines 737 Max 9 incident. Boeing workers participating in a "Quality Stand Down" at Boeing's 737 Max factory in Renton, Washington on January 25, 2024. One of the first Boeing 737 Max jets on the production line at the company's manufacturing facility in Renton, Washington, U.S., on Monday, Dec. 7, 2015. The airlines around the world that have already bought Boeing planes basically need to keep using those models, whatever the problems. Commercial pilots are certified on specific models and are not able to easily move from single-aisle to widebody versions of Boeing jets, let alone between a Boeing and an Airbus jet.

"Until we're comfortable that the [quality assurance] system is working properly ... we're going to have boots on the ground," he said. United, which has 79 Boeing 737 Max 9 planes in its fleet, more than any other carrier, said Monday it's assuming the planes will remain grounded through the end of January. He said United is taking the larger variant, the 737 Max 10, out of its fleet plans, because of lengthy delivery delays. Those accidents involved the 737 Max 8, a smaller variant of the same aircraft family.
