Lawmakers from both parties today essentially called for Boeing's CEO to resign over flaws with the 737 MAX that led to two crashes, killing 346 people total
Boeing’s CEO took a beating Wednesday during a hearing where lawmakers from both parties essentially called on him to resign over flaws with the 737 MAX that led to two crashes overseas in five months, killing a total of 346 people.
“And this is a challenging situation. My responsibility is to stick to it and to help our team work through it, and to get Boeing ready for the future,” Muilenburg said. “I feel a keen sense of responsibility to do that, and I’m confident that that’s what we’re going to do as a company.”, which included a $13 million bonus, even after the first 737 MAX crash — an Indonesian Lion Air flight carrying 189 people.
“You’re telling us there’s been consequences, you’re responsible, and yet these families will get 1 percent of what you get paid, and you talk a lot about your upbringing as a farm boy, I appreciate that,” DeFazio said. “You’re no longer an Iowa farm boy, you are the CEO of the largest aircraft manufacturer in the world, you’re earning a heck of a lot of money, and so far the consequence to you has been, ‘Oh, you’re not chairman of the board anymore.
Democrats in particular have suggested that some changes to the certification process are a must, but so far it’s an open question about whether Republicans will go along.
