Well nothing, few months pass by and they will be back grinding for as much money as possible
post
Boeing will splash around some more bribe money and do absolutely nothing.
Yeah, I hate to be morbidly pessimistic, but this is an American private company we're talking about: I don't think anything will be done until people die
Maybe build high speed rail instead of planes, and forget about Boeing? Yes, trains need quality control, too, but not to the same level as planes.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
The CEO of Alaska Airlines said new, in-house inspections of the carrier's Boeing 737 Max 9 planes in the wake of a near-disaster earlier this month revealed that “many” of the aircraft were found to have loose bolts.
In an exclusive interview with NBC News senior correspondent Tom Costello, Alaska Airlines CEO Ben Minicucci discussed the findings of his company's inspections so far since the Jan. 5 incident, in which a panel on one of its Max 9 jets blew out midair on a flight carrying 177 people.
Following the incident, the Federal Aviation Administration ordered all Boeing Max 9 planes grounded and launched a safety investigation.
As a result, Alaska Airlines, whose fleet had the highest percentage of Max 9 planes among any major carrier, has spent weeks canceling and rearranging its schedule, leaving thousands of passengers scrambling.
United Airlines CEO Scott Kirby said in a separate interview with CNBC on Wednesday that it is now contemplating a future for its fleet without the Boeing 737 Max 10, a newer version of the popular jet.
We are taking action on a comprehensive plan to bring these airplanes safely back to service and to improve our quality and delivery performance.
The original article contains 740 words, the summary contains 196 words. Saved 74%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!
It's Alaska Airlines. Isn't this plane likely 15+ years old? Is Boeing directly involved in maintenance for the lifetime of the plane? Or, is this on Alaska Airlines, and they are shamelessly scapegoating because it's opportunistic to kick Boeing lately?
The MAX series didn't go on its first flight with a customer until 2017. These are practically brand new planes.
The incident airplane was only 3 months out of the factory.
