re: The Boeing 737 Max Crisis Is a Leadership Failure

Even with every other country banning the 737 max and putting it on the ground, the fact that it took a literal clear and expressed order from the President of the United States of America himself to ground the 737 max and suspend all of its flights and overrule the FAA is a clear sign that the FAA is too close to Boeing and their professional relationship has gotten way too comfortable for the public to have confidence in both of them separately.
Oh and frick Boeing for letting the bean counters and cost cutters run the show for too long. That brought this 737 max shite show on their heads.

When it comes to operational safety and the quality of a plane that's supposed to haul 150+ people at 550 MPH and at 37,000 feet in the sky, there better be no fricking skimping on the costs in making the plane.
Another genius example of Boeing cost cutting: Boeing ending 757 production way too early when there was still going to be demand for it ten years down the road and has enabled Airbus to beat their heads with their new Airbus A321 XLR.
Corporate greed is a bitch.

Can't speak for Boeing workers...But I work for a company who makes flight critical components and I have visited Boeing Portland. Their security is incredibly strong.It takes about 20 minutes per person waiting to get security at one of their plants, and then security knows where you are at all times. So yeah, I'd say they're pretty strict.
This woman has no reason to lie. Also not young, around 50-55yrs old. I was just taken aback with those terms.
She is a fellow engineer at the company I work. They have worked in this country for about 20yrs none the less.
Anyone know if it would be because they aren't US citizens?

You are spot on. Saw this disgusting pattern with Obama and to be fair many others. Any dissension and you are vilified. Upper echelon calls all the shots and everyone falls in line. Damn dangerous. In my opinion they are keeping the Chairman on board to keep the legal wives away but he will be canned as soon as the smoke cleared. He has not done his job and should be fired period. No excuses for this ineptitude.

Can't believe I actually agree with you for once.
This is what happens when you outsource things in a critical design like a plane.

I said pretty much the same thing in another thread.
Boeing is not to the Boeing of old.

Agreed Boeing is shitting the bed, but I’d put my family on a Max tomorrow as long as the registration starts with an N.

The MAX will be back but it will need a massive good will campaign from Boeing. I’m talking hundreds of hours of test flights. The executives also putting themselves and their families on it. That will save it.
With regular pilots not Boeing test pilots.

Is this true or us she going overboard about some security requirements?
It's true. I'm not sure if it's necessarily "a year" in advance. But certain positions require approval for international travel.

You hang around pilots of foreign national flag carriers? Because I’m not sure how you can make that statement without that.
Just admit you heard it either on FB or around the water cooler.

I believe US pilots are much better equipped to handle flight emergencies.
We should still try to prevent the emergency from happening in the first place.

They needed a new airframe to replace the 737. The engine placement doesn’t work well with this design.
Ultimately the Max will be a safe plane with the software update, but there has been some serious damage to the Boeing brand.

Well even SWAPA and APA (pilot unions) have voiced their concerns.
Plenty of people denigrate foreign pilots, and in some cases it isn’t totally off base, but this is not some case of a shitty Asiana Airlines pilot flying the glide slope right into the ground at SFO under visual conditions.
This was a much more complex issue occurring during a critical phase of flight that had not been trained or even mentioned by Boeing.
This could have easily happened to an American
airline. Our pilots are nothing but systems administrators (operators) today. Long gone are the days of dead reckoning and flying and navigating using VORTAC (or for former military aviators a TACAN).
