Boeing's Push to Make Training Profitable May Have Left 737 Max Pilots Unprepared
|
Bloomberg
|

On an overcast Friday in January 2016, thousands of employees gathered outside the 737 jetliner factory in a Seattle suburb for the first flight of the Max, the newest version of Boeing Co.'s 50-year-old workhorse. Thousands more watched a live feed at their desks. Two of Boeing's ace test pilots sat at the controls, one an ex-U.S. Air Force fighter jock, the other a Navy veteran who'd also flown experimental planes for NASA. As the pilots fired up the first engine, the hulking plane rolled forward several feet -- they'd forgotten to set the parking brake.

Boeing's Days of Being the Bully Are Over

Bloomberg
|

Boeing Co. was an aerospace industry bully for years, leveraging its position as the preeminent U.S. commercial-jet maker to squeeze its suppliers, badger its rivals with trade disputes and reportedly lobby for more oversight over the regulatory review of its own planes. Two fatal crashes and a global grounding of its best-selling 737 Max jet have upended the power dynamic. With its latest decision to halt production, Boeing’s comeuppance is complete.

It is almost 15 years since David Calhoun was first considered for the role of Boeing’s chief executive officer. He was running General Electric’s biggest division at the time, an infrastructure unit with sales of $47bn, and was up against another veteran of the Jack Welch-era in which GE’s status as a model for the rest of US industry was rarely questioned.

Air travel is safe because aircraft manufacturers, airlines and government regulators all perform at high levels. Chicago-based Boeing, one of the world’s leading technology companies and the largest U.S. exporter, ripped a gigantic hole in the fabric of international air travel by mishandling the development and rollout of a new aircraft. Two of its 737 Max jetliners crashed in less than five months, killing a total of 346 people in Indonesia and Ethiopia.
