"FAA Audit Reveals Boeing's Failures in Safety Checks and Production Practices"
TL;DR Summary
A Federal Aviation Administration audit of Boeing found 33 failures in the company's operations, with a total of 97 points of noncompliance, following an incident in which an air panel blew off an Alaska Airlines plane mid-flight. The audit also revealed issues with Spirit AeroSystems, a Boeing supplier. The FAA has given Boeing 90 days to outline its action plan in response to the findings, and the company's CEO has been urged to make "real and profound improvements" to address systemic quality control issues. Additionally, the whistleblower who raised concerns about Boeing's production standards was found dead this week.
