WASHINGTON, June 19 — Boeing’s CEO acknowledged to a US congressional panel Tuesday that the company’s culture was imperfect, but insisted the aviation giant was making...
Boeing President and CEO Dave Calhoun and Boeing Chief Engineer Howard McKenzie are sworn in during a Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee Investigations Subcommittee hearing to examine"Boeing's broken safety culture" on Capitol Hill in Washington, DC, June 18, 2024.
Calhoun’s appearance marked his first testimony before a congressional panel since an alarming mid-flight incident in January on a 737 MAX plunged the company back into crisis mode. US investigators are still probing the incident with the Alaska Airlines plane, which made an emergency landing after a fuselage panel blew out.
At the conclusion of the hearing, Blumenthal said the company needs a “course correction” involving more than replacing a single manager. He vowed to keep up oversight of the company. Calhoun has said he plans to step down as CEO at the end of 2024. The company is looking for a successor.At the April 17 hearing, witnesses painted a disturbing picture of a company that dismissed safety questions and sidelined critics as it chased faster production and bigger profits.
Calhoun also said he would provide details on instances on how the company responds to workers who engage in retaliation against workers who speak out. The hearing was attended by a small group of family members who lost relatives in the 2018 and 2019 MAX crashes, which together claimed 346 lives. The group held signs with their loved ones at the outset of the session.
