A group of major US airline CEOs have reportedly requested a meeting with Boeing’s board to express concerns over production problems following near-disastrous fuselage blowout aboard an Alaska Airlines flight.
The airline chiefs want Boeing directors to spell out their plan for fixing quality problems at the aircraft maker as US regulators scrutinize the company following the Jan. 5 incident on a 737 MAX, people familiar with the matter told the Wall Street Journal on Thursday.
Boeing has responded by offering meetings with chairman Larry Kellner, a former chief executive of Continental Airlines, as well as other board members as early as next week, sources told the Journal.
Boeing CEO Dave Calhoun — who fought back tears while “acknowledging our mistake” that caused the blowout at 16,000 feet and led to an emergency landing — is reportedly encouraging the meetings, the Virginia-based aviation giant confirmed to the Journal.

First question: Are you hiring the best qualified or are you quota hiring?
in “wake” of
Missed it by one letter 😏
There obsession with DEI will protect them only up to a point. We’re getting close to that spot.
Nobody’s suing nobody (at least no airline is going to sue Boeing.)
What will happen is significant financial concessions which will cost Boeing billions. The stock’s at $195 today and an attractive short. The company’s free cash flow is shot to hell.
“Boeing CEO Dave Calhoun — who fought back tears while “acknowledging our mistake” “
He should be fired on the spot.
So, when are you going to let the incompetent employees go and replace them with people with proven skills and experience?
Boeing CEO Dave Calhoun — who fought back tears while “acknowledging our mistake”
A mistake is facing a choice, and later finding you chose the wrong option.
Boeing is woke and incompetent and is a new company wearing the skin suit of old Boeing.
Ok then:
“Boeing has responded by offering meetings with chairman Larry Kellner, a former chief executive of Continental Airlines”
How about representatives from Braniff, TWA, Pan Am, and other defunct carriers.
Damn! You beat me to it!!
Is the AA guy bringing his dress?
Second question: Who at Boeing is performing the quality control checks on the work you subbed out to Didn't Earn It (DEI) firms?
Third question: Did you also sub out the quality control work to Didn't Earn It (DEI) firms?
Is the United CEO going to go to the meeting in drag?
“Fix your sh*t or we’ll buy Airbus”
🔝🔝
One can only hope.
Maybe he’ll dance too.
The decision to use a 50yo airframe and attach too large engines was made long ago. That CEO got out of town with a ton of money. IMO the company should claw it back. Rehire him to an assembly line putting fasteners on door panels.
(Didn’t Earn It (DEI))
Oh, that’s a good one!
