Boeing Says It Might Have To Shut Down 737 Max Production

Boeing CEO Dennis Muilenburg warned investors Wednesday that the company might need to further slow or temporarily halt its 737 Max production. Boeing has continued to build the 737 Max, its bestselling jet, although at a slower pace. The plane has been grounded since mid-March because of two fatal crashes that killed more than 300 people. Boeing hopes to get approval for the plane to fly again sometime early in the fourth quarter. Muilenburg said any further delays in approval to fly the 737 Max again could jeopardize its production. A further slowdown or temporary shutdown of 737 Max production is "not something we want to do, but an alternative that we have to prepare for," Muilenburg told investors on a conference call. He said the company needs to prepare for that "to make sure we've covered all scenarios."

If we were talking about a color of house paint being off, then fine. But this is air travel. How could they cut fukcing corners.

This whole situation infuriates me... as someone who travels by air frequently for work I could've been on one of these planes. And the initial spin they tried to do is despicable.

This is what happens when regulators aren't doing their job so they can get a check from the inudstry they are supposed to regulate when they out of government.

Boeing got away with cutting corners all these years especially when in the 1990s they and many corps went the way of putting their value into the stock market rather than the production of their good.

I understand part of the issue is they've been gutting the FAA budget so they had to outsource some of this... still no excuse though.

It just pisses me off because they tried to pass it off as saying it was mediocre training of other countries' pilots which couldn't have been further from the truth.

From what I've been hearing basically all US pilots who were flying this model are suing Boeing because now they're second guessing everything they're doing because they can't even trust the planes' software systems anymore... hopefully they'll have to open the bag for that

The invisible hand at work eh @DEAD7 ?

Competition forces corners to be cut in order to maximise profits to the 1%

Then the truth is obfuscated until the corporation has literally no option but to come clean. Then they want you to feel sorry for them, cause corporations are people too...
