The company failed 33 of 89 audits during an examination conducted by the Federal Aviation Administration after a panel blew off an Alaska Airlines jet in January.
I don’t think this ends in beheadings, but there will (hopefully) be significant follow on effects. A threat to consumer confidence in flying is a risk to the entire industry, all Boeing’s competitors and the airlines will be screaming for the FAA to get the actions right here…
It’s funny I know someone who’s an exec at Boeing Space, which is practically a completely different company and 99% a gov contractor. Let’s just say the SLS hassss to work flawlessly because its got “Boeing” written all over its parts, luckily NASA is leading the project so it’ll probably go as planned.
Ah. Yeah musk is insane but his rockets are cheaper than the SLS will be. Hell Congress hasn’t even funded more than 1 or 2 launches because it is so expensive.
According to The Guardian he got $60M in stock and pension for being fired. Also it seems that stock price didn’t fall much after the crashes and the grounding. It is only after COVID hit that Boeing’s price plummeted. So it might be only by pure luck that he lost anything of value at all.
About 300 years at the salary of a doctor. I am sure he contributed as much to human happiness and well-being as 300 doctors working for a single year.
Wonder how many C-level execs get in trouble? /s

One would think so, but I haven’t heard a peep out of them.
Weird.
I ran the calculations, but I got a divide by zero error

That has got to be a depressing job. I can’t imagine the pain of being involved in starliner and SLS.
Not sure why you are getting down votes. Nobody wants SLS, even NASA. Congress is proping it up for pork
Because everyone assumes if you aren’t a SLS booster you agree with every single thing Elon Musk has ever done or said.
I hate how there isn’t a middle anymore. It is like the Middle East but for everything.

Well, they did already have a CEO resign over the 737-Max.
Yeh but that guy wasn’t even in charge when that project was laid out and he got a massive golden parachute. Paid sacrafical lamb for PR purposes.
