My question is with something this expensive and this important flying in our skies. Why haven’t they already been in there doing their job to start with more than likely it’s the Biden administration fault these Democrats have got their priorities definitely upside down how about closing our borders for one no doubt being union then voting for these Democrats made a difference in what these inspections were like
FINALLY
I feel soo much safer to wake up and know americans fresh brains are at work here…..planet earth have no fear amerucans fresh brains are here
FAA boosting oversight on Boeing 😂
nevermind… let's just get C919..LOL.. Chinese are pushing their hard…
Boeing: please keep on flying with the 737 MAX. Airbus: yes, do that….
You can kiss the 777X Entry Into Service next year goodbye. I bet the 777X has a lot of Max"s bad habits embedded in the project. Am not a betting man but missing the 7X 2025 EIS is a sure bet. How times and fortunes have changed at McDonell Douglas. Boeing died in 1997, sure, it says Boeing infront of the shop but the logo beside the estemeed Boeing name and everything else inside the shop is McDonell Douglas 😢
FAA IS Boeing! 😵😵
"the fox watching the henhouse". Boeing shouldn't be the one paying the salaries of inspectors working on behalf of the FAA. If the US Congress won't come up with the money (it's a bit dysfunctional at the moment), the aviation industry (including defense contractors, parts and service suppliers, and airline operators) should step up and pay into an independently administered fund to pay the salaries of additional FAA inspectors.
About time they build crap anymore
737Max is the new DC-10
Boeing killed 346 innocent passengers and crew and nobody went to jail.
Now, a whole airplane with passengers and crew are left traumatized and this will most likely just cost Boeing a little money again. The lack of accountability is so typical American.
Americans are hopeless cowards. They are so afraid of going after large corporations and sent people from these corporations to prison when they commit their crimes.
Boeing is a company that purely focuses on profit for its shareholders. Boeing never cared about the passengers and crew flying in their airplanes.
Both Boeing and FAA have shown extreme incompetency and neglect.
Boeing produced an airplane with so many faults its incredible it managed to get certified.
It started with MCAS and continues with this as well as a function that unlocks the armored cockpit door in case of cabin depressurization, a function that is not described in the airplane manuals. The pilots never knew anything about that function. Did FAA know about that function?
If FAA did not know about that function, how was the airplane certified by FAA unless FAA turned a blind eye?
People from both FAA and Boeing deserve to go to jail for their complete and utter incompetence.
Made in USA , top quality🤣
Only the Max 9?!! Aljazeera had a 1 hr special over the issues and problems with the manufacturing of the 787s years ago. Do we need a 787 to fall out from the skies for the FAA to audit the entire Boeing production line?!!
Incompetentce or organized sabotage are the options in my view.
If either one is true it's all bad.
It's all bad.
How about the FAA do THEIR job and watch what’s happening at Boeing’s assembly plants instead of a random third party?
Boeing should be fully investigated. US airlines can buy planes from Airbus. If this company neglects quality control and people's safety, then it should lose business.
Conflict of interest, just like EASA. Make no sense.
This is the U.S. Government's doing, it forced the FAA to outsource oversight to the manufacturers. Money rules the USA, not people………these results are unsurprising to any person with half a brain.
Boosting oversight to what? The level the oversight should have been at in the first place?
FAA is a flaccid organization, no teeth, or commitment to public safety.
Both Boeing and FAA are equally responsible. As well as the republicans who feel that government oversight is an intrusion on their rights.
The whole thing stinks to high heaven. 🤬
All it takes is one loose 🔩 regardless if on the plane or a boardroom
Airframe must be the cause for 737-Max incidents. Kindly discontinue to modify 737-Max series and focus on a new design, being the sole workhorse and top seller for Boeing in terms of fuel efficiency.
FAA's job is to audit Boeing work practices and ensure at each step of manufacture & assembly that the work is to be done in accordance to the prescribed systems in place…the Authorised Inspector should carry the the burden of responsibility and remunerated accordingly. Sounds like someone is not playing fair…Mr Dave Calhoun…
I bet Airbus have the same practices and are playing fair!
They should have done that three years ago starting with the MAX8.
It’s not the FAA taking it to the next level
It’s the FAA doing what it should have done to begin with 🙄🙄
Why tf would you expect Boeing or anyone to police themselves.
Next thing you know, the SEC is going to allow publicly traded companies to solely audit themselves
WTH is the difference 🙄
