Strong words from the FAA to deflect their own negligence over the years. They got complacent with Boeing and let them perform and sign off their own certifications and quality procedures.
The FAA, Boeing, Spirit AeroSystems, its contractor, and Alaska Airlines all missed the fact that the plugged doors were missing their securing bolts. They were all guilty of negligence. They are all at fault.
Nah they wait it out and if something happens again it’s a win for them. They get “fired” with $10 million severance package and no more heat and people would just forget them
Boeing is lucky the door plug incident happened when it did. Had the aircraft been at cruising altitude the decompression would have been more explosive and I’ve no doubt there would have been fatalities.
The FAA should have stepped up the overseeing of Boeing after the two 737Max tragedies, not believing that Boeing would actually improve their self monitoring status....... Boeing's policy is purely cost and corner cutting.... Their complete board of executives should be sacked.... Roger.... Pembrokeshire UK
I cannot imagine the headache they would have with the Max 10. The extended landing gear and fuselage would most likely give more problems than solutions.
@@oadka are you really sure????? Since the 2 crashes, Boeing spent billions for repair and changes ordered by the FAA. Some experts claim the debt has reached 40 billions.....
This is the story of American businesses - shareholder capitalism instead of industrial capitalism. It's all about cutting corners (costs) to maximize shareholder rent-seeking.
Another frustration to Boeing's plan to expand the production rates. It doesn't matter how many orders you win if you can't deliver them. Airlines will be deeply suspicious of any dates attached to Boeing orders and meanwhile Airbus continues to successfully expand and deliver. I can't understand how Boring's share price has held up after tens of billions of losses and such trouble getting deliveries up.
I wouldn't worry about temporally expansion halt slowing Boeing's future production. Likely it's just lip service from the FAA showing they took some "action" to enhance production safety. In few months after things blow over, the FAA will probably let Boeing move forward with the expansion. Until then, expansion planning on paper will continue without slowing down.
The only way the FAA can prove they're taking this seriously is if they outright deny Boeing's exemption requests for the -7 and -10 cockpit warning systems.
@@schmal911 It really doesn't make sense for MAX 7 and MAX 10 to have different cockpit warning systems than MAX 8 and MAX 9. I think it's absurd that planes wouldn't have that by now, but in light of the fact that MAX 8 and 9 are already out, I think 7 and 10 have to just be the last without EICAS.
It is unbelievable that Boeing do not inspect all the fasteners in the airframe prior to installing the insulation and interior wall lining, ie before the fasteners are no longer visible.
Very easy to miss some there are tens of thousands upon tens of thousands of them. The biggest issue now in the airline industry is the human factor Very few incidents are due to failure of equipment. Almost all issues now are due to the human element.
@@MinkieWinklewell, Boeing was very quick to blame the pilots after the first Max crash. And it’s not thousands to be checked. Just those on the door frame. This should be regular procedure.
@@MinkieWinkle Companies half descent that respect their clients apart from QA they have electronic torque wrenches and screwdrivers and know what was fastened and when and with what torque. Very common in the automotive industry
Slow and steady is the way to go in my book sure it'll pass deadlines and announce time periods and such but at least the aircraft is safer when building.
Tbf I think the pressure of competing with Airbus and cutting cost to maximise profits got to them. Airbus has been smashing them in terms of deliveries and orders in 2023. They are trying to keep up with Airbus and ultimately, this created quality control issues with the products they produce. Boeing is quite rotten from top to bottom internally, and if this keeps up, they will lose even more customers. The fact that Airbus is smashing them in 2023 and producing safe and outstanding airplanes consistently with EXCELLENT quality control speaks volumes of the current state of the Boeing Company. Heck United is contemplating to reevaluate the B737 Max 10 for their future.
And also the only reason why Airbus is not getting more orders is because of the massive backlog of the Airbus A320neo family: A320neo family backlog by end of 2023: 7191 units B737 Max family backlog by end of 2023: 4783 units *Data from Wikipedia Airbus is smashing it right now with 2000+ more order backlog
The FAA has, after the recent Boeing quality disasters that probably have affected hundreds of aircraft already produced proudly introduced " operation stable door" to prevent future aircraft being produced with equally dreadful and passenger killing levels of incompetence.
It is unclear to me if this cap on expansion has implications for the certification of the MAX-7 and MAX-10. Presumably, it will affect the ability to produce them, even if they are certified in the timeframe anticipated by Boeing's customers.
I wouldn't say Boeing has gained the FAA's trust, but rather that the FAA has sided again and again with industry, so that the industry they govern doesn't grow to resent them. In the 1980's they ran a 2 year study on their own effectiveness after there was pressure from the NTSB for battery operated PSA systems, better structures for in-flight furniture to withstand more g-forces, and better fire-resistant fabric. The study had mostly FAA and industry employees, and they all found the FAA was doing just great. This tonal shift is big but long term action on FAA's side is what needs to happen.
Better late than never. They should also monitor the activities of the CEO and board of directors and hold them accountable for all the mistakes and poor outcomes of the Boeing company.
American mega corporations in general have put shareholder profits and executive salaries and bonuses above all else, including consumer safety. Besides Boeing, look at our pharmaceutical companies, for profit hospitals and clinics, and health insurance companies.
It's more like "McDonnel Douglas bought Boeing with Boeing's money". Look! Even the MD logo is in the front of Boeing (probably one of the requests of the merge).
The FAA needs to randomly pull different active Boeing planes for thorough examination across the Boeing lineup from airlines. I’m sure there are lots more problems hiding.
After the debacle of the Dreamliner, now the 737, I think theres some serious investigation required into the design process, maybe the only way to get through to Boeing is for all their customers to cancel options and review working with Airbus, they would then get the message that this is not good enough.
It is time the world understands the complicity /slackness Boeing must have had with the FAA, two American entities. The world aviation counted on the FAA to be impartial in its guarantees of aviation security . It seem it left too much leeway to Boeing and this is the result... The MCAS crashes and now this could have been avoided if strict implemantations of contraos and verifications had been maintained on both sides
It is not sufficient that the 737 max production cannot be expanded, but it should be terminated immediately. The core problem has not been solved which makes potential incidents in the near future very likely. The 737max must be redesigned and undergoes the whole quality assurance process once more, from design stage through the operational test before the FAA can release the airworthiness certificate.
I'm afraid you don't know what you are talking about. What is the core design problem that you just made up. This plane had indeed some troubles but that doesn't mean everyone should make freestyles about aviation engineering just after watching misinformation on social medias.
It's about time enough is enough Boeing has to get it right !! All the stupid mistake and don't care attitudes has to stop ! F.A.A. thumbs up to you !!! NO MORE GETS FALLING OUT OF THE SKY!! GO AIRBUS❤❤❤
This is how the FAA should be treating every company at all times, regardless of track record.
Strong words from the FAA to deflect their own negligence over the years. They got complacent with Boeing and let them perform and sign off their own certifications and quality procedures.

Very lucky the seat next to the plug was empty...
Yes. Just pure luck it wasn’t a total catastrophe with all souls lost.
And even more lucky that the seats beside the door was empty. Boeing should expect civil liability charges for this
They are lucky the plug didn't hit the horizontal stabilizer or the elevator
They're lucky that the plug didn't hit any other part of the plane. It didn't get sucked into the engine. Or hit the tail or wing.
I taught that boeing learned its lesson after the 737 max crashes turns out i was wrong
Yes, they learn that crashing two planes will get their CEO fired with only $60million in compensation. I'm sure they try to crash less plane.
Until someone actually go to jail, I doubt Boeing will learn.
