neil hansforth says the boeing brand has tarnished its reputation.mething like this dies because of you the number of people, and these accidents that occurred in different countries, but if this happened. well, ukraine, as a modern country, is trying to remain in line with global trends in every sense of the word. in this regard , they will send plus saytsu to the eurovision song competition from kiev, they were probably looking for a lesbian or something tolerant, but they found what they found. ukraine will eventually be represented by the thirty-two-year-old former head of a kindergarten near kiev, and now a rapper, alena. singer jerry heil will perform in a duet with alena, author of the russophobic song moskal is ugly. back in 1921, women faced attacks from the nazis because of a duet with the russian rap group kasta. the artists eventually refused to collaborate with all musicians from russia. but this did not help alena. after being nominated for a song competition. they compare her to the director of the holodomor museum on ukrainian social

ryanair was meant to bolster its fleet with the delivery of 57 new boeing planes, a type of boeing 737ax, by the end of march. but it now thinks only 40—16 will arrive in time for the peak summer months. the airline's boss michael o'leary says lower—than—expected passenger numbers would mean higherfares. and with other airlines also facing shortages of aircraft, he is predicting a higherfare environment across europe as they struggle to meet demand. ryanair�*s original forecast to the end of the year to march 2025 was that it would carry two two and a half million passengers, but he says with the rises in costs expected he may have to revise that down to 200 million. he is expecting fare increases of between 5—10%. boeing has been under tight scrutiny from the air aviation authority in the us after part of one of its planes in the air alaska fleet came off in midair injanuary. it said it was taking the necessary time to make sure every aircraft delivered met all customer and regulatory requirements and it deeply regretted the impact on ryanair. how this fare increase will come as a blo

this is an example of how boeing's outsources has led to boeing's decline and boeing has hidden its declineam by appealing to diversity, equity and inclusion for investors and cool thing to do and their stock no doubt has gone up 400%. their product has gone down, but their stock has gone up which is real interesting. you know, you should be worried about safety when you're selling private equity firms, but they were not. this is a one-two punch of globalization and social engineering. it doesn't belong, job number one is safety. job number one is safety for every, man, woman and child that go in those airports, and it's a company that is struggling to reliably produce safe aircraft. mr. whitaker, are you concerned by the trajectory of boeing as an american institution? an american institution? are you concerned? >> my concern is that boeing makes safe aircraft so i'm less concerned about externalities and more concern about the aircraft coming off the line. >> i would maintain it's part and parcel. they have a job to worry about safety and, and when you're worried about all the other issue

one glaring omission from the line—up was boeing.nt mid—flight incident where a cabin panel detached from a brand—new alaska airlines boeing 737 max 9. in a preliminary investigation, us regulators found four critical bolts were missing that were meant to hold the door plug in place. now the future of the family of the 737 max fleet is in question. in 2018 and 2019, there were two crashes of the 737 max 8 that claimed the lives of 346 people. boeing used to have the reputation of building planes that withstood the test of time. even theirfans had a motto — "f it's not boeing, i'm not going." but that was then, and this is now. with the future of the family of the 737 max fleet in question, boeing has replaced a top executive in charge of those planes. at the airshow, boeing executives were optimistic about the demand for their planes in the region. can you just discuss some of the safety measures that many passengers are concerned about? the airplane is the most by far the most scrutinised airplane in the world, in the history of avi

it's extremely important i would get on a boeing plane today and fly across the company.roblem with that. because i know that the people there are doing the jobs that they need to do. this was an anomaly, in my mind. and so far i haven't seen anyone prove that or disprove it. >> rosemary, i mentioned the relationship that you do or do not really have on the boeing side i wonder, can you take us through whether or not you have also spoken with some of your other peer supplier organizations and companies. other suppliers that also work with boeing, is there a working group or some kind of a focus group that you guys have with regard to how you are navigating through this, and if not, could there be something like a peer organizational group that can kind of help each other work through some of the uncertainties that are happening because of the boeing 737 max production delays. >> that's a good question. we have a multitude of aerospace organizations here locally that we get together once a month, and we're very open and free to talk about what's happening. most of us all a

al rejoined the panel, you're an interesting story on boeing. the committee for a while it is a mess one of the theories is run by financial guys when really engineering focused on making plane should be in charge. >> i don't agree with that, it is a mess i agree without how do we get here. we look at the. where the max jet was granted worldwide after two deadly crashes it was being run by dennis mullen berg who is an honorary fellow of the american institute of aeronautical and astronomical engineering he was an engineer that did not oversee, i think you need good managers and good engineers but you really need people making capital allocation decisions. if you compare over the last decade the amount of money that airbus spends on r&d, planted equipment compared to boeing, airbus spends more is almost as simple they put more money into the product in the decisions of the past decade are coming home to roost. jack: with bad decisions being made how long does dave calhoun stay in the corner office is a time for a new ceo? >> dave is in a tough sp

you're seeing a market shift away from boeing and towards air bus unless boeing changes in air buses get to be number one for a very long time. so basically for air bus, it's just a question of ramping up to 2 thirds of the market. they may be 75 percent of the market. united airlines might be canceling orders for the boeing $737.00 max and switch to airbus. but with both manufacturers, having full order books for the next 10 years. even if airlines wanted to switch to air bus, can they afford to go to the back of the queue? they need to be able to look at some quick victories, like new orders, planes that work. planes that don't fall out of the sky or have their door. ready blown out boeing is currently benefiting from the market situation. what's missing now is perhaps investing more care in the assembly of its airplanes. everyone knows that air traffic is bad for the climate. producing 3 percent of c o 2 emissions and condensation trails and that's bigger, moves up to 5 percent. hold on powering all those plans with electric motors like a growing number of cars. until now we've be

airbus and boeing have great profits after consolidation and boeing is losing that. airbus is close to it. similarly in conversations with the air carriers enormous pressure. warren buffett had a great line about investing in airlines, i had an 800 number i called at 3:00 in the morning. please talk me out of it and he still did it. the safety culture versus risk assessment. the faa reauthorization one of the parts included in the case of alaska. a root cause can go back and find out who actually worked on that plane, what hours they worked on. when they do it, those simple things from safety culture writ large, i would like your response, and talk to the ceos who are under enormous pressure coming out of covid, we kept them in business and with ridership going up, to avoid losses, and investment market that can move quickly away from them that would create greater damage and on top of that you've got boeing, not going to be able to supply the product that they contractually are already into and have serious financial disadvantages to delay that too long, that's a lo

let's return to boeing.ernment raises fresh concerns over boeing's safety management systems. citing a disconnect between senior management and regular staff, and signs that safety—related messages and behaviours were not effectively put in place across the company. this raises another red flag for the plane making giant under mounting scrutiny after a section of one of its passengerjets blew off in mid—air last month. for more on this i'm joined now by airline analyst john strickland from jls consulting. hello to you, john. it seems, john, we getting report after report at the moment that there warning about safety at boeing? it is interesting to note this report was actually under preparation before the recent incident with the dog coming off the aircraft. it was really put into place following two fatal crashes, 2018 and 2019. what you mentioned there about the disconnect between management and workforce is a key element because boeing moved out of its factory operation in seattle to chicago and even furt

well, this could expose boeing to criminal liability if the justice department finds that boeing violated their agreements after the 737 max eight crashes of 2,018.20, 19 that deferred prosecution agreement was reached back in 2021 at avoided a charge of conspiracy to defraud the united states. boeing admitted to fraud. >> it's >> controversial because crash victims families were not consulted here. that deal was set to expire january 7, two days after the door plug incident took place on january 5, that agreement back in 2021 cost boeing to have billion dollars and included a 243 million criminal fine. no comment from boeing on this latest development also, no comment here officially from the justice department, but this is happening as these multiple double investigations all appear to be coming to ahead this week, just yesterday, the faa came down hard on boeing saying it has 90 days to produce a plan to fix its quality control. the faa's audit into boeing is still ongoing about its quality control issues there a report expected sometime next week on that, but this is all as the tsb is

it's since emerged that the aircraft left boeing's factory without the necessary bolts to keep that partnew york for us. thanks forjoining us. boeing has already had some of its airline customers, including ryanair, to come and inspect its processes. but isn't this the job of the regulator? the federal aviation administration? why are they considering a third party? it is theirjob to certify every aircraft that comes off the production line before it goes over to the airlines but in practice over the years it has ceded some responsibility to boeing and what that means is that the manufacturer boeing has a relationship with the people who are certifying the aircraft and this is under the microscope at the moment. the idea is not borne out of convenience but cost, and the federal aviation administration suffered cuts to its workforce and has not recovered, they wanted to fund an additional 10,000 positions at a total cost of $1.8 billion annually but i do not happen, and this is after the boeing crashes in 2018 and 2019 which killed 346 people, so the idea of certification has been on the

plant in washington and that it notified boeing of the problems. nonetheless, another plaque eye for quality control as boeing tries to clean up its reputation after last month's max-9 door plug blowout. here's the memo from the head of the commercial airlines stan diehl saying y while this potential condition is not an immediate flight safety issue and all 737s can continue operating safely, we currently believe we'll have to perform a redark work on 50 you be delivered airplanes. diehl says the company must get it right so boeing is slowing down 737 production. that could mean relayed deliveries of new planes. not a good look as airlines like united have already said they are not thrilled about being on boeing's order books. >> not a good look, but the important thing is to get it right and safe. pete muntean, thanks. kate in. >> hurricane force winds and dangerous rains, we're in the middle of the atmospheric river that right now is slamming california. we'll be right back.
