Boeing is Suspending Production of the 737 MAX in January
Boeing will halt production of its 737 Max narrow-body jet in January, escalating the company's crisis as it prepares to end a year marked by accidents, scandals, and a plummeting public perception. (www.businessinsider.com) Más...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
Suspending production does not mean CANCELLING production.....
This event was predictable once Boeing moved its corporate headquarters to Chicago. What happens is that you end up with a small set of people interfacing with senior management and "corporate headquarters" thinking takes over and reality is slowly but surely left behind. The seeds were sown many years ago in 2001.
Disasters like this are at the end of a chain of low probability events....in this case we had Boeing doing a poor job making some dubious design trade offs,plus a certification agency that was too accepting, plus Boeing minimizing the training requirement, plus the airlines going for the cheap option on aircraft specification and replacement parts , plus poor training by the airline, plus an inexperienced aircrew ......
Remove almost any one of those events and the crashes don't happen.
All of the companies and organizations in that list own a part of the responsibility. However Boeing's actions started the chain and Boeing probably owns the bulk of the responsibility.

If Boeing wants employees and passengers to trust the Max's... All top Boeing executives, engineers, designers, and their families should fly around in some of the new and IMPROVED Max's and maybe even deliver some of them to airline companies around the world....
Subs like Spirit have to be kept afloat by Boeing and there is already a significant number of built airframes not assembled into aircraft.
Others like CFM etc can presumably reorientate their production towards the A320 neo etc.
Tough times for many.

I believe that a device which controls the timing of rocket ignition didn't activate, so the rocket couldn't achieve to correct orbit.
A curious passenger asks: How do I know I have a seat on a 737 Max? Living within sight of rocket launches from Kennedy Space Center, a Boeing CST100 Starliner space craft didn't achieve the proper orbit to access the international space station. Hope its not a trend based on the information on these posts.
The DC 10 crashed in Iowa in the late 80's due to a GE engine exploded. In 1979 the DC 10 was wrongly grounded due to shoddy maintence by AAL.
