Companies that engage in misconduct even when under a criminal and regulatory microscope are dangerous. Here, that's #Boeing Boeing settled enforcement actions with the #FAA in 2015 and again in 2021 after multiple 737 MAX disasters. The company promised to overhaul its safety culture and quality control. Also in 2021, Boeing admitted to one count of conspiracy to defraud the United States by obstructing the FAA investigation of the 737 MAX . #USDOJ Yet in February of this year, a congressionally mandated Expert Panel found "inadequate and confusing" implementation. Boeing's corporate decision to scatter across the country has unsurprisingly compromised safety: "[R]eliance on dispersed engineering experience, expertise, and guidance does not appear to be coordinated or consistently monitored for sufficiency in numbers, experience, expertise, or communication channels,” the Panel found. Here's to hoping Boeing's actual engineers, inspectors, and other workers get the corporate treatment they and the public deserve.

Press Release: 37 passengers of Alaska Airlines Flight 1282 are seeking to add claims to a lawsuit involving the door plug that blew out mid-flight on January 5, 2024. The proposed complaint alleges that Boeing defrauded the FAA, the Department of Justice, and the public with false promises to overhaul the company’s safety culture and quality control.

Prompt: "Write me an article about the new DOJ investigation into Boeing" Response:" DOJ Expands Scrutiny of Boeing with Criminal Probe into Alaska Airlines Incident The U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) has widened its focus on Boeing with a criminal investigation into the alarming incident on an Alaska Airlines flight in January 2024. A door plug failure caused a gaping hole in the plane, forcing an emergency landing. This investigation comes on top of the existing DOJ review of Boeing's compliance with a 2021 settlement. That settlement resolved a federal probe into the safety issues surrounding the 737 Max aircraft following two deadly crashes in 2018 and 2019. Here's a closer look at the situation: The Alaska Airlines Incident: In early January, a Boeing 737 Max operated by Alaska Airlines experienced a mid-air blowout of its door plug. This resulted in a large hole in the fuselage and a terrifying ordeal for passengers. Thankfully, the plane landed safely. DOJ's Focus: The DOJ's criminal investigation will determine whether Boeing violated the terms of the 2021 settlement or engaged in criminal conduct related to the Alaska Airlines incident. The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) believes missing bolts likely caused the door plug failure, potentially due to improper maintenance procedures at a Boeing facility. Potential Repercussions: If the DOJ finds Boeing at fault, the company could face significant financial penalties and potentially even criminal charges. This could further damage Boeing's reputation and potentially delay the rollout of the 737 Max 10 variant. Boeing's Response: Boeing has maintained they are cooperating fully with the investigation and believe they are not a target. This latest development adds another layer of complexity to Boeing's ongoing efforts to restore public trust after the 737 Max crashes. The outcome of the DOJ investigation will be closely watched by the aviation industry, airlines, and the families of those affected by previous Boeing incidents." https://lnkd.in/du-kNkQb This article, written by Gemini AI, has not been edited or checked for accuracy #boeing #faa #airlines #unitedstates #airbus #departmentofjustice #bidenadministration #biden #departmentoftransportation #boeing737max #unitedairlines #alaskaairlines #americanairlines

What management practices do Boeing and the USPTO have in common? Perhaps too much pressure put on pendency and production and not enough on quality control? Here's a link to Patrick Malone's latest investigation into the FAA's 'cozy' relationship with Boeing, following the Alaska Airline blowout. https://lnkd.in/gwqPbwu3 Meanwhile, back at the USPTO, Boeing receives some hastily allowed, lightly examined patents. See US Patent No 11,926,423, entitled Aircraft Air Duct System for Providing Light, Data, Electrical Power and Sanitized Air, allowed in a first office action a mere 13 days after the application was docketed to the examiner. Or US Patent No 11,898,499, entitled Power Transfer Systems and Methods for Aircraft Engines, allowed in a first office action. Or US Patent No 11,806,832, entitled Method and System for Determining a Level of a Sanding Surface Preparation of a Carbon Fiber Composite Surface Prior to a Post-Processing Operation, allowed in a first office action about 23 days after being docketed to the examiner. Or US Patent No 11,826,981, entitled Compositionally Modulated Zinc-Manganese Multilayered Coating, allowed in a first office action 25 days after being docketed.

😱 Boeing is “Unbelievable”!” 😱 We get to read some news that give us the impression that safety is not Boeing’s priority: 1) The article below Quote: The head of the US National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) said on Wednesday investigators still do not know who worked on a Boeing 737 Max 9 door plug involved in a January 5 Alaska Airlines mid-air emergency and that video footage was overwritten. Unquote. 2) https://lnkd.in/gXR_xZqy Quote: Former Boeing employee John Barnett, who blew the whistle on alleged safety issues at the company, has reportedly been found dead in the United States. The 62-year-old had given evidence in a lawsuit against Boeing in the days before he died, according to the BBC. Unquote. 3) https://lnkd.in/gqyF3Gg2 Quote: The Federal Aviation Administration's (FAA) audit of Boeing's (BA.N), opens new tab 737 MAX production process after a panel blew off on an Alaska Airlines, opens new tab jet in January failed 33 of 89 tests, the New York Times reported. Unquote. It looks like Boeing is a bad horse with a bad jockey 🏇. #Boeing #Stocks #valueinvesting

Boeing Takes Full Blame: Aerospace Giant Pleads Guilty in 737 MAX Probe #Boeing #737MAX #AviationSafety #DOJ #CrashInvestigation In a move with significant ramifications for the aviation industry, Boeing has agreed to plead guilty to a criminal charge of conspiracy to defraud the U.S. government. This comes as a resolution to the Department of Justice's (DOJ) investigation into the two fatal crashes of the 737 MAX passenger jet, which claimed a total of 346 lives. The DOJ alleges that Boeing misled federal regulators about a crucial flight control system, the Maneuvering Characteristics Augmentation System (MCAS), which was implicated in both crashes – Lion Air Flight 610 in October 2018 and Ethiopian Airlines Flight 302 in March 2019. According to a DOJ official, the guilty plea signifies that Boeing acknowledges it "willfully deceived" the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) about the MCAS, failing to disclose its full functionality and potential risks. This decision follows years of scrutiny and lawsuits filed by families of the crash victims. The exact terms of the plea deal, including any financial penalties, are yet to be revealed. However, industry analysts expect Boeing to face a hefty fine, potentially running into billions of dollars. The 737 MAX was grounded worldwide for nearly two years after the crashes. Boeing made significant software modifications to the MCAS and underwent a rigorous recertification process before the aircraft was cleared to fly again in late 2020. While the guilty plea brings a measure of closure to the criminal investigation, the fallout from the 737 MAX crashes continues. Boeing is still facing civil lawsuits from victims' families, and the company's reputation has undoubtedly been tarnished. This incident serves as a stark reminder of the paramount importance of safety and transparency in the aviation industry. #Boeing737MAXCrash #AviationNews #AirSafety #Accountability #DOJSettlement #CorporateCulture #FlightSafety #TransparencyInAviation #NTSB #GlobalAviation
