Shortly after Boeing’s chief executive, Dave Calhoun, took his seat, families who lost relatives in the 2018 and 2019 crashes of the company’s 737 Max 8 planes called out to him, demanding that he turn around and acknowledge them and the photos of their loved ones. Among those behind Mr. Calhoun were the parents and brother of Samya Rose Stumo, the 24-year-old who was killed in the 2019 Ethiopian Airlines accident and the grandniece of Ralph Nader, the consumer advocate and former presidential candidate. Nearby sat the family of John Barnett, the former Boeing engineer and whistle-blower who died by suicide earlier this year in the midst of a Justice Department criminal investigation into the company. Others held photos of their loved ones lost in the crashes. “I would like to apologize, on behalf of all of our Boeing associates spread throughout the world, past and present, for your losses,” Mr. Calhoun said while facing the families.

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.

☆ U.S. lawmakers decline to add Boeing 737 MAX exemption in defense bill

WASHINGTON, Dec 6 (Reuters) - U.S. lawmakers late on Tuesday declined to add an extension to an annual defense bill of a looming deadline that would impose a new safety standard for modern cockpit alerts for two new versions of Boeing's (BA.N) best-selling 737 MAX aircraft. The U.S. planemaker has been lobbying for months to convince lawmakers to waive the deadline that affects its MAX 7 and MAX 10 airplanes and was imposed by Congress in 2020 after two fatal 737 MAX crashes killed 346 people in Indonesia and Ethiopia. That would be a significant setback for Boeing, which did not immediately comment but has argued previously it is better to have a common alerting system for all versions of the 737 MAX. The requirements for modern cockpit alerts were adopted by Congress as part of certification reform passed after two fatal 737 MAX crashes in 2018 and 2019 that led to the plane's 20-month grounding. Nadia Milleron, whose daughter Samya Rose Stumo died in the 2019 Ethiopian Airlines crash, praised lawmakers for not including the extension in the defense.

Compania a reuşit să primească aprobarea FAA de a folosi din nou aeronavele în noiembrie 2020, după ce a făcut numeroase modificări la sistemul de siguranţă defectuos care a provocat accidentele. „Declaraţiile înşelătoare, jumătăţile de adevăr şi lipsa furnizării unor informaţii de către angajaţilor Boeing către FAA au împiedicat guvernul să asigure siguranţa pasagerilor", a declarat procurorul american Erin Nealy Cox. Potrivit dosarului, cel puţin unul dintre cei doi angajaţi a părăsit compania în iulie 2018 pentru a lucra pentru un operator aerian. „Cred cu tărie că intrarea în această etapă este ceea ce trebuie să facem – un pas prin care recunoaştem că nu am respectat valorile şi aşteptările noastre", a declarat CEO-ul Boeing, Dave Calhoun. „Acesta este de fapt un acord de protecţie pentru Boeing”, a spus Michael Stumo, tatăl lui Samya Rose Stumo, care a murit la cel de-al doilea accident în martie 2019.
