"Boeing Board Members to Meet Airline CEOs Amid Production Problems"

Boeing's board members, led by chairman Larry Kellner, plan to hold meetings with top executives from major airline customers without CEO Dave Calhoun's participation, in response to growing frustration over the company's ongoing crisis. The initiative aims to gather unfiltered feedback as Boeing grapples with a crisis centered on its 737 Max jetliner and concerns about manufacturing quality and safety. The move comes after a sweeping audit by the US FAA raised safety culture concerns, and follows expressions of frustration from prominent airline CEOs, including Ryanair's Michael O'Leary, who called on Boeing to improve its performance.
