  1. My reaction to Calhoun's comments: Hahahahah.

    Look, people are concentrating too much on Calhoun. The real people to zero in on are quality management, from the quality assurance specialists on the floor to the highest executive I see for quality: Carole Murray. The top person in quality is a woman. A CEO may be extremely ignorant about their QMS; other executives with manufacturing or safety in their titles should also be more aware. The same is true of those that actually tighten nuts and bolts.

  2. I've never heard "profit, profit, profit" pronounced that way before

  3. 宇宙更新完结,月亮现在3:30早上,包围一个大圆圈-Universe Renew End in Heaven: Earth will come soon too:::

    Jan 25, 3:30 am, Universe Renew End on Heaven, right now, Moon is full with a big round circle, only Planets left are Edy, Neptune, Uranus, Mars, Mercury, Earth & Sun, but the Sun King will be changed to a New Lord, all others are going due to their participating in stealing Creator's Crown, plus many new Planets due to promotions also took away, those Commanders will have to work hard to earn their promotion.

    As on Earth, the Universe Renew End is set on 4/5/2024. Go out view the Moon that with a Big round Circle in the early morning, Universe History to remember.

  4. Does anyone trust the word of David Calhoun?

  5. Too bad for that CEO, he won't be getting a "Fat" bonus check. Clown!.

  6. The Boeing CEO is more worried about his bonus and the shareholders. He is NOT worried about the Boeing 737 max nor the engineering and safety side.

  7. FAA before the meet, we will investigate everything. FAA after the meet, we are clearing 737 max for takeoff.

  8. The day the CEO went to DC FAA grant Boeing the OK…

  9. IT WOULD NOT BE VERY HARD TO FIGURE OUT WHOSE JOB IT WAS TO INSTALL THAT DOOR PLUG AT THE FACTORY

  10. Nikki Haley is responsible for what happening at Boeing. She was hired to help Boeing avoid regulations and to lessen the certification process of the 737 Max

  11. Keep spinning off crucial parts of your business and then use them as your supplier. Sounds like a cheap trick to boost your share price.

  12. The board of directors is an old boys club, proof of it is the fact that despite massive failures and missed promised improvements on the 737, the CEO is still employed. This current CEO was brought in to fix the 737 program but it is now more of a complete fiasco. Are they waiting for more deaths before replacing him?

  13. Don’t worry Pete BootyPirate is on the job..

  14. Heh, "opening the door"

  15. I didn’t watch this video I just wanted to tell NBC that they are complete trash. You shouldn’t even be allowed to report the news. You are all liars and you should be ashamed of yourselves.
