Boeing's Blame Game: A History of Shifting Responsibility After Crashes
Boeing has been experiencing high pressure and complications due to accidents and a lack of safety culture. Boeing CEO David Calhoun appeared in an interview with the New York Times in 2020. When asked to accept the blame for the fatal 737 MAX crashes, he avoided answering the question by stating whether U.S. pilots could have avoided them.

calhoon is so not the guy to be left in charge of leading the parade to repair/rehab/ replace the fools who caused and who have perpetuated the rot that kills planeloads of passengers from time to time. XOOPS, sorry......not really our fault, but BOeing is spelled all over the side of the plane.......
And what makes you think you have the competence to decide that Boeing is to blame for a planeload of passengers dying? Boeing would be richer than Jeff Beos if they sued every person who created or spread a falsehood about the company or the design of its airplanes. Oh, BTW, open your eyes… it's the airline's name spelled all over the side of the plane……
Saying AOA = Area of Operation, in this context, renders the author totally incompetent to report on matters of aviation.
Since Area of Operation would be AOO, the problems might extend beyond matters of aviation.
They write poorly researched, poorly edited stories just to get click, just for the ad revenue, then self-promote their own stories.
"When asked to accept the blame…"
It would be funny if it were not so tragically idiotic and expensive. The news media believes—God only knows why—that it has the competence to conduct an air crash investigation, when it doesn't even have the competence to vet its sources and as a result comes up with the poppycock that is to be expected when giving pilots, baggage handlers and anonymous persons credence for their opinions as though they were aero engineers. So, armed with a lot of plausible nonsense—and hubris—they confront a CEO and demand that he accept blame for the crash. When he rightfully refuses because it isn't true, they accuse him of shifting responsibility to others. The ignorant public doesn't have the competence to discern sense from nonsense and swallows the media's story—hook, line and sinker, too lazy to even glance at the glaring evidence that shows quite plainly that the news is fiction And nonsense becomes the de facto truth, with billions of $$$ going up in smoke… all because of a free press that insists on demonstrating that trusting them to run free while maintaining integrity was a really bad mistake.
Apparently FlightAware doesn't have any better "news" than the fiction that an author equipped only with a fascination for airplanes calls adding "creativity" to storytelling.
