  1. Woke culture……accidents

  2. Be assured, they are onthe forefront of DEI, so relax.

  3. Just read another boeing plane in fla had a door light come on and diverted to tampa. Not a 737. The crap is going to hit the fan.

  4. He only cares about the investors.. I don’t believe him..
    They think it’s cheaper to pay out death payments, than to fix the problem.
    I hope they do sort it out, before they release planes…
    Check your flights!

  5. He was so devasteted after losing his million dollar bonus… oh wait, he will get it anyway.

  6. David Calhoun needs a few more acting lessons to sound half-credible.

  7. Botched Overproduction Engineering Incomplete Nationwide Groundings (BOEING)

  8. I will not get on this plane.. I will ask for a change if travel involves this aircraft.. unless they figure things out!

  9. American quality and credibility is really at rock bottom now. No one trust america anymore.

  10. That plane flew to Hawaii 22 times before Alaska decided it was too dangerous to fly it over the Pacific. This is public information. I also find it curious that no one was seated in those seats. What did they know & when did they know it?

  11. He was devastated when he saw the estimate from the lawyers about the size of the hole in their profit statement that will result.

  12. I am devastated want Ti pack my suite bag

  13. And none of management want to step down sad all those airlines that bought Boeing aircraft need to cancel and buy all airbus

  14. Boeing reminded me of Jeep and Chrysler

  15. He's only devastated because they've been found out, but he couldn't care less

  16. 1:38 – Reporters who think Americans are the only passengers who board and fly on these planes

  17. He's devastated and emontional? He should have won an Academy Award OSCAR for his acting performance !!

  18. The wrong attitude by the company at this point could bring the whole thing tumbling down. There is NOTHING to big to fail. Even the USA itself!

  19. What a "joker" DOT secretary Buttigieg is. It is the failed Congress, DOT and the FAA, not doing their mandates

  20. I call BS! Why weren’t you emotional 4 years ago when Boeing killed more than 700 innocent people?!?!? Instead of taking the blame, they blamed it on other companies!!!!!!!! Boeing needs to be shut down!!!

  21. Devastated their corner cutting has yet again been exposed

  22. It’s crazy how Boeing is basically treating the general public like guinea pigs with these Max planes.

  23. The world should ban Boeing Plane. Boeing and US politicians put profit above Human Life.

  24. The CEO is trying to jump out ahead on this one. He got a rare gift of no lawsuit because no one was hurt or injured. That allows him to admit culpability without recourse. Had anyone been hurt it would have been a shutdown communication with standard PR statement that says nothing.
