Boeing's CEO faced shareholders for the first time since a 737 Max 8 crash killed 157 people.
Boeing shareholders pressed CEO Dennis Muilenburg about the company's safety standards at its annual shareholder meeting on Monday.
"We don't have to have 300-plus people die every time to find out something is unreliable," he continued."It never should have happened that you had one easily damaged sensor that controlled a critical new design safety feature in the plane. That should have gone through some sort of internal review or something to check that sort of thing out."
The Ethiopian Airlines flight went down just minutes after taking off in Ethiopia, killing 157 people. Another 737 Max 8 jet crashed in Indonesia shortly after taking off on October 29. All 189 people on board the Lion Airlines flight died. The CEO said the company had reviewed the process used to design and analyze the censor and that development had been carried out in a manner consistent with Boeing standards.
