The air accident in January involved a 737 MAX 9 aircraft of Alaska Airlines (as shown in the same model as shown in the figure).

Dennis Tajer describes the feeling of driving Boeing 737 MAX, "like watching a problem child."

Tagay is the head of the Allied Pilots Association, which is the union of American airlines.He insisted that he would never board the plane if the plane was not safe.

But he said that he could no longer think of the quality of the aircraft he was driving.

He said: "I'm in a state of warning now, this is what I have never had the Boeing plane."

"Because I don't believe they have followed the process of ensuring the safety of Boeing aircraft over 30 years."

The executives of the shiny new headquarters in Alington, Virginia, felt siege.

Every day, there seems to be more negative news to appear on the media headlines. The company is under pressure from regulators and airlines, and its reputation has been seriously damaged.

Troubles began in January. A brand -new Boeing 737 MAX aircraft took off from Portland International Airport, a emergency door fell off.

The preliminary report by the

The US National Transportation Safety Board believes that the four bolts used to firmly fix the door on the aircraft are not installed in place.

It is reported that Boeing is facing criminal investigations against the incident and legal lawsuits on board passengers.

Captain Tagay said he was in a state of warning that he had never had before.

Although no one was severely harmed, the incident had a wide range of impacts.It has given people a strong concern and strict review of the corporate culture and security attitude of this aviation giant.

Five years ago, two new 737 MAX planes crashed in almost the same accident, causing 346 people to die. Boeing faced one of the biggest scandals in its history.

The cause of the accident was that the flight control software was defective, and Boeing was accused of intentionally concealing the details of the accident to the regulatory agency.

The company agreed to pay 2.5 billion US dollars (£ 1.8 billion) to solve the charges of fraud and acknowledged the existence of deception, but officially expressed its failure to plead guilty during the later trial.Subsequently, the company faced extensive accusations on the life of passengers.

The company reiterated its commitment to security, and Dave Calhoun, the newly appointed CEO of the new appointment in early 2020, promised that "it can be done better and much better."

However, the review after the accident in January this year has questioned this commitment.

Mr. Karkhorn said, "We will take it slowly, we will not be eager to achieve, we will slowly do it."

Earlier this month, the Federal Aviation Administration of the United States Regulatory Department stated that the 737 MAX production process of Boeing and its supplier Spirit Aerosystems was audited for six weeks.Comply with the requirements for manufacturing quality control ".

Not long before, an expert group investigated the security culture of Boeing, and found that there was a "disconnected" between the senior management and ordinary employees, and there were signs that employees hesitatedDecision.

Agent of the National Transport Safety Council has retrieved the door of the Boeing 737 MAX aircraft (embedded emergency door).

Adam Dickson is the former senior manager of Boeing. He has participated in the 737 MAX project. He also believes that there is a gap between executives and factory workers.

He said: "For more than ten years, the corporate culture of Boeing has been destroying trust."

"You can increase security measures to increase procedures. But the fundamental problem makes these changes almost ineffective," he said.

At the same time, further evidence this week shows how the production problem is endangered.

The Federal Aviation Administration warned that improperly installed wire beams on the 737 MAX aircraft may be damaged, causing the control device on the wing to accidentally unfold, causing the aircraft to start rolling.

The Federal Aviation Administration said that if it is not resolved, "the aircraft may be out of control."As a result, hundreds of planes that have been put into use must be checked.

Boeing said that according to the results of the Federal Aviation Administration, the company will continue to "implement rectification immediately and formulate comprehensive action plans to strengthen security and quality and establish confidence in customers and their passengers."

But worry about Boeing production standards is far from new things.

John Barnett, a reporter of death last weekend, has been working in a factory in Boeing in Boeing in South Carolina since 2010 until retirement in 2017.

He is the quality manager of the Boeing 787 Dream Aircraft project. He once claimed that Boeing was anxious to manufacture aircraft as soon as possible to maximize the profit.

In a series of allegations, in some cases, workers with too much pressure deliberately install non -standard components for aircraft on the production line.

Boeing denied his allegations.However, his sudden death occurred in a gap between a legal hearing for the company, which caused people to pay attention to a new round of attention from Boeing.

The crisis of the aircraft manufacturing giant is now in trouble for airlines.

Ryan Airlines warns that the delay of delivery of new aircraft will push up the ticket price of European passengers this summer.Southwest Airlines plans to reduce the amount of shipping this year because they cannot get the required aircraft.

Some airlines may try to use the models of air passenger cars to replace the lost Boeing plane.However, it is impractical to transfer all the orders from American manufacturers to European manufacturers.

The orders of the two companies are very full.Airbus Company has accumulated an order of more than 8,000 aircraft, and Boeing has accumulated more than 6,000 aircraft.

Airlines waiting for the new plane have exceeded their expectations.Airbus companies also have their own supply chain problems, which leads to delay in delivery.

China's large -made aircraft C919: When can it be" three -point world "with Airbus and Boeing?

There is also a potential third party.Chinese manufacturer COMAC has developed C919, which aims to compete with 737 MAX and A320 Neo.

But the plan is still in its infancy.By 2028, it can only produce 150 aircraft each year.

In other words, the market requires Boeing to maintain health and quickly overcome the current problems.So, can this be realized?

Ed Pierson, executive director of Foundation for Aviation Safety, believes that the problems involved are complicated but can be resolved.

He himself was a reporter of Boeing, and has been lobbying the regulatory agency to adopt a tough attitude towards the company for many years.

He said: "Boeing, their suppliers, airlines and government agencies have the ability to overcome these challenges, but the first step to solve these problems is honesty."

"They need to acknowledge the existence of these problems and stop trying to cover up the truth. The more they quibble, the longer the time to solve the problem, the greater the risk."

Boeing said that in the past few years, it "never hesitate to slow down, stop production or stop delivery in the past so that it can take time to do things well."

Boeing also added that it has launched a "Speak Up" plan to encourage employees to ask questions to be solved.
