"American Airlines CEO Demands Boeing's Accountability for Quality Issues"
American Airlines CEO Robert Isom joins other aviation executives in criticizing Boeing for quality issues, calling them "unacceptable" and stating that the company needs to "get their act together." The criticism comes after a series of quality lapses that have grounded aircraft and disrupted operations for multiple carriers, with Alaska Airlines estimating a $150 million hit from the grounding of a Boeing 737 Max 9 plane. Other airline CEOs have also expressed frustration over Boeing's supply chain challenges and inability to meet contractual obligations, putting pressure on Boeing's executive team to address the issues.
