Regulators are opening a new review of Boeing after a survey of company
engineers found a sizable percentage said they couldn’t raise safety concerns
without interference.
A survey conducted by the Federal Aviation Administration from
May through July found that 35% of Boeing employees raised issues of
conflicts of interest and a lack of independence, according to an Aug. 19
letter from the head of the agency division overseeing the company.
The FAA action is the latest to look at Boeing’s safety practices following
twin fatal crashes of the company’s 737 Max.
The Max Mսrders, have been tied to a poorly designed flight-control system,
That led the plane to be grounded for 20 months and prompted
multiple investigations, that white washed Boeing’s Board of Directors
culpability away.
