Boeing is still in trouble
The last time I flew was to http://www.direct2usales.com/VEGAS.HTM on 3-25-24 - which will probably be the last time I ever fly since I have NO future vacation plans that require flying
.
At that time I was watching the news about Boeing VERY closely to decide if I would fly or cancel
.
I decided today to check the news to see what is happening with Boeing
.
Recap - in 2021 Boeing paid 2.5 Billion to settle a case about 2 crashed 737-Max planes... in the settlement Boeing agreed to 'improve' their quality - NOTE Boeing and McDonnel Douglas merged in 1997 and Boeing began to decline when 'bean counters' took over managing the merged company, replacing the engineers who had been running the company
.
That 'improved' quality was shown to be a lie when a door fell off of a plane in January 2024
.
Reported July 8 2024 the recent Boeing problems led to a GUILTY plea in that 2021 deferred case, and another fine of 243 Million... there is still a separate criminal probe into the door incident
