Since Samya Stumo’s death in a 737 MAX crash, her parents and her great-
uncle, Ralph Nader, have devoted themselves to proving that the company put
profit over safety. | b*********5
发帖数: 1 | 2 In the wake of the 737 max disasters, caused by a software feature, Boeing
and regulators initially placed blame on the planes’ pilots. Then the Stumo
family, who lost their daughter, got involved. “I will never let Boeing
forget her,” a family member said. | b*********5
发帖数: 1 | 3 But the firm is mired in crisis. Following a second wholly avoidable crash
of the flawed B-737 Max, the stock tumbled – but it’s only 16% from its
high of $440. Since the crash Boeing has been hit by a cascading cataclysm
of revealing failures. Its corporate culture has been exposed as rotten. I
last wrote about Boeing on 22nd October – “Boeing Boing Gone” –
outlining a succession of problems of its own making:
Abysmal management failure; the board paid out billions in dividends,
boosted their bonuses and approved some $43 bln of stock buybacks, but
decided not to spend cash to develop a new short-haul regional aircraft that
could have generated trillions in profits and a long-term sustainable
future.
Internal rot as Boeing morphed from being the premier Tech and Engineering
led aviation company with superb designers able to address any aeronautical
challenges, into a cash cow for box-ticking cost-accountants led by a C-
Suite of greedy senior management.
There are unaddressed build quality problems across the fleet, parts falling
off older 737s, failed “pickle-fork” wing joints that never should have
been a problem, and a suspicion there is much more bad news to come re
Boeing’s apparent regulatory capture of the FAA which will confirm its
pursuit of profit over safety.
Boeing’s product list comprises the effectively unsellable 737 Max aircraft
no passenger will want to fly on, the superb B-787 Dreamliner which (
Emirates aside) nobody really needs, and the greatly delayed new B-777x
which no one particularly wants. There is literally nothing on its product
list anyone really wants to buy.
In the face of slowing/stopped Dreamliner sales and the dodgy accounting
used to smooth-off the B-787 development costs, the 400 odd unpaid for 737
Maxes blocking the parking lots, the $9 bln in compensation claims from
airlines, and the still unresolved issue of just how guilty or contributory
Boeing has been in terms of dead passenger claims, its difficult to see how
Boeing will ever actually make money. | l**********6

political structure. A fish rotting from the head-down, so to speak.
