FAA proposes to fine Boeing $3.1 million over widespread safety violations

The FAA found hundreds of quality system violations at the planemaker’s 737 factory in Renton, Washington, and Boeing subcontractor Spirit AeroSystems’ 737 factory in Wichita, Kansas.

The FAA also said Boeing presented two unairworthy aircraft to the FAA for airworthiness certificates and failed to follow its quality system rules.

The FAA found that a Boeing employee pressured another Boeing worker performing tasks on behalf of the FAA to sign off on a Boeing 737 MAX airplane so the company could meet its delivery schedule despite the fact the employee had determined the aircraft did not comply with standards.

Boeing falling behind on certifying its 777X, CEO says

is behind schedule on certifying the 777-9, its newest widebody jet.

The company expects to deliver the first 777X jet in 2026, six years later than anticipated when the program was launched in 2013

I'm starting to wonder if that company will ever recover from McNerney's Welchist policies.
