There is a simple resolution to the MAAX problem. Get rid of the FADEC system and take control of the engines away from Pratt & Whitney and give engine control back to the pilots. Problem solved.
After all the problems that Airbus had with both defective A/S & AOA indicators and computer control, one would have thought Boeing wouldn’t go nearly as far as they did.
The Starliner mishap was a very minor error and the bulk of the mission’s objectives succeeded, but in that field, minor errors have major implications. This will get fixed by the next launch.
I would think Boeing having to build aircraft with no identified buyers and an unclear route to flight clearance is much more significant to the shareholders.
He should've been fired Day One, and he should stand trial for manslaughter.
Merry Christmas, Dennis! No bonus for you!
BTW, this is all part of keeping Google from performing a hostile take over of Boeing.
Whatta Joke
Dave Calhoun is just a “good ol boy” and it was guys like him that screwed up Boeing - along the lines of McNerney and Connor.
Muilenberg is taking the hit because he’s an Engineer and the BizJerks don’t like it that one of the “technical people” got into the top rank. He had to take the heat for their decisions, and he was a bit too honest about it.
This patricide will mollify the Street a bit as it makes them look like they’re “doing something”, but it’s really without substance. It’s more about Calhoun takin’ care of his GE mafia buddies, a statement that anyone in the aviation biz will understand.
Intel made up “fraternization”charges against BK to get rid of him for covering up the 10nm process problems.
Rene James was simply kicked out for the same reason.
Both were the worst CEO in Intel’s history.
Too bad they got rid of so many good people in their quest for fame and glory.
Simple statement: “The Boeing Company has stepped down from its eminance as the premier multi-engine aircraft manufacturer, to the status of ‘cuck’!
Long, long overdue.
