Less than three months after the January 2024 Alaska Airlines incident, Boeing announced that CEO David Calhoun would step down by the end of 2024. Read more from our partners at The New York Times: https://www.nytimes.com/2024/03/25/business/boeing-ceo-steps-down.html
You would think that a woke journalist working at the new york times would be well aware that all companies that have competitors are always under the pressure of competition. Well maybe when she gets her pink slip
Let me get this straight. So Sully became a national hero over the three days he hid out with the copilot in a hotel room to get their story straight, the NTSB was essentially forced to require the test pilots in the simulator 22 seconds before trying to return to LaGuardia. But this Boeing test pilot wasn’t required to wait any seconds and he still crashed the simulator
“A broken regulatory process”? Oh, Frontline means the FAA
Even in this documentary Frontline goes out of its way to minimize the complicitous actions of the FAA
Natalie at NYT is an aircraft crash expert? There has long been plenty of evidence that the FAA works in the interest of the airlines and Boeing and it didn’t take these crashes to reveal that. Where was the new york times then?
Wow PBS criticizing the FAA? One federal government funded organization criticizing another federal government funded organization! Say it isn’t so
and yet Sully gave no credit to the engineers of the airbus who designed it to be able to land safely in water and not sink. His landing was far from perfect and created a small hole in the bottom and he forgot to flip the ditch switch which closes openings that let in water and more importantly he did not use crew resource management as required and notify the crew that he was ditching the plane. Any flight attendant on an airbus knows that they’re designed to be able to land in water but you’re not supposed to open the rear doors because they are designed to sit low in the rear in the water to ensure that the doors in the front and over wings can be opened without water coming in Even in small waves. Had he notified the flight attendants they could’ve told the passengers to brace for impact and ensured that no passengers and no flight attendant opened the rear doors. Someone opened the rear door possibly even a flight attendant we will never know who did it. Even if it was a flight attendant you can’t blame them since they were not warned they were landing in water.
And yet today the FAA is treated as if it is flawless in order to make Trump the bad guy. This was a huge stain on the FAA less than five years ago
No matter how much technology is applied, it will never ever out preform the “human factor” and resolutions.
Pilot training is also reasson for crash 737 max
I bet they use Indonesia bad aviation history to blame the pilot for the crash. Really piece of shit.
The thing the public needs to understand… The thing that will always be true, no matter what industry you’re in… Is that in the corporate world none of us matter to anyone else who makes decisions. We are nothing but numbers and sales and ways of making more money, making corporate shareholders happy because we’re making them more money, and People who perish as a result of these horrific decisions that are literally about nothing more or less than money, are simply numbers to these fat cats. Once you get that through your head, you will begin to understand why any corporation is capable of getting away with immoral or unethical behavior: money buys freedom. Money buys the ability to pay your way out of consequences for your actions and decisions. End of story. Nobody should be surprised about any of this and it’s happening in every corporation around the world, regardless of the industry. It’s about saving every penny and cutting every possible corner and overworking, employees and pilots and anybody else as much as possible so they don’t have to actually pay good wages to an appropriate number of people to do the work properly that needs to be done. The only reason there is so much scrutiny on this is because a plane crashing, and a whole bunch of people dying as a result gets attention by media.The toxic culture is not limited to airplane manufacturers.
Soon their will be Mexican authorities on the 4th crash and Colombia will ground the 737 MAX on the third crash after all it will lie including President Donald Trump keeps to cover up the lie that even if the first 787 crash be in Mexico if a fuel leak that the plane will crash.
First on the third crash it will blame a pilot for possession of Marijuana and probably a popular YouTuber will die and on the fourth crash and the first 787 crash it will be blame for Mexican pilots to be drinking at the cockpit and then Kelly Ortberg will earn the Presidential Medal of Freedom by Donald Trump and a huge protest in front of Boeing headquarters of people holding Mexican flags.
That is coming up soon this administration is protecting Boeing of making shitty products and AeroMexico switches from Boeing to Airbus and the following airlines form Latin America becomes the number one customers of Airbus.
Its the year 2025 now we just had two planes crash one in D.C. USA Its American airlines yes however we had another crash in Philadelphia USA …an I recalled the whistleblowers of Boeing an here I am. I pray for the families an victims of all these crashes. I cannot help but speak on USA toxic corporate culture. We are number 1 superpower however our healthcare is terrible our food terrible our infrastructure needs repair an our aircrafts are falling out the sky. Civilians matter we make this nation we need protections.

Boeing over the years has been trying to minimize and cut costs ,by using weaker materials that are not condusive to the severe pressure at such high altitude,that's why they got rid of the whistle blowers that worked at Boeing and reported that the aircrafts were not up to FAA standards 😢
check.
Mistakes are direct result from GREED
That was weird 15:40 😛
Letting the companies regulate themselves? Should we let thieves police themselves? Pure idiocy!
Flying coffins
All the more reason why, you don't allow computers to "control" vehicles. The "human element" will always be needed. Recently, the news stated that a "deiver-less" taxi cab was being considered.cimputers can misread sutuations and don't have the ability to think through a crisis like a human can. I get annoyed when I call a customer service department and a computerized voice answers the call. I'm tired of companies, thinking that computerized systems are an advancement. Truth be told, they're looking for ways to reduce labor costs by using computers to replace humans. When I'm at 36,000 feet, I don't want a computer overriding what the pilot is doing.
design by clown approved by monkey.
Its 2025 now, but still if its boeing im not going
Stop using Boeing Max 737
Corporate and government regulators and politicians’ deception for parasitic value creation has destroyed a once brilliant American engineering and technological company! Compromising on trainings, materials, controls and testing for serving blinding greed – even the Board of Directors should be held accountable for this travesty!
Now koreans died because of boeing.

When I was a university student in Australia and learned about the corporate culture in Management subject
Why has no one from Boeing gone to jail ??
Keep watching. Thank you, Frontline
Boeing management is also a major military contractor. Remember the lives lost on the Osprey program.
Dedicated to transparency. Yeah, sure. Dedicated to MONEY should've been what those useless executives said.
We hear the VERY SAME THING from all of these companies who move fare-paying people around. "The safety of all of our customers and employees is our TOP PRIORITY." BULLSHIT!!!!! The almighty dollar bill and profits-MONEY-is their TOP priority. If the shareholders don't get their dividends, stock price per share dives. Billion dollar companies don't want that. I used to think Boeing would be an outstanding company to work for. Not too sure, anymore. They cut some HUGE corners designing that thing. And their reputation has taken a HUGE hit.
ANY aircraft can kill the people flying in it. 100% flight safety is an illusion.
a life is worth 1,436,436 dollars to this company F BOEING
Corporate greed is huge 😅
Profits over lives
Any idiot can cut costs. But, if it is done by someone with a business degree (completely worthless, btw), the corporate world reacts as if they are a genius who just walked on water. Business, as an academic discipline, is an insult to academia.
Advise if you are planing to travel:
Before buying the ticket ask if the plane was made by Boeing.
And at time of boarding double check to comply with your safety requirements which are better than Boeing's is the plane was made by Boeing
Deny, Defend, Depose
This is what happens when greed gets in between you and your safety, greed always wins and your safety always loses. And in many cases, you even lose your life. The middle man is killing this country. It used to be a good place to live in. Not too much anymore. Sad 😢. I guess everything ends at some point.
I will never ever fly on a Boeing plane ever again
Since this day, I will NEVER get on a Boeing plane EVER again I'd rather be on an Airbus
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$.
Boeing the 🐐
The answer to any corporate issue/problem that affects, even harms, the public, is money/profit. All corporations have done or do cost benefit analyses, human effect (paying off injured or worse against potential lawsuits vs income/profit) to make their financial. If a few k$&lled humans cost less than the potential income/profit they will allow those deaths or injuries. Greed is unbelievably rampant in the USA.
