Boeing is facing sanctions from U.S. investigators for sharing unauthorized information about a federal investigation into a door plug blowout incident on a Boeing 737 Max 9. The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) accused Boeing of violating investigative regulations by providing non-public information to the media and speculating on potential causes of the incident. The NTSB clarified that the focus should be on determining the accident's probable cause, not assigning blame. Boeing expressed regret for overstepping the NTSB's role and pledged cooperation with the ongoing investigation. Despite the sanctions, Boeing will retain its party status in the investigation due to its expertise. The NTSB may subpoena relevant records and has informed the Department of Justice about Boeing's unauthorized disclosures. The Justice Department will decide on potential charges against Boeing by July 7. Boeing has been under increased scrutiny, with CEO David Calhoun defending the company's safety record amid accusations of prioritizing profits over safety. Calls for Calhoun's resignation have surfaced, but he plans to step down by the end of 2024.

6 commentsThe only remaining thing is a weak 'systems integrator'. And the best part is the suppliers have more leverage and less compliance/liability than you do! Because nobody even knows their name.
