[@MrWATCHthisWAY]

Top management uses the phrase; We’re brining in fresh new talent with a new perspective on our business model. Sounds like your getting rid of all the fresh new talent you hired 15-20 years ago when their predecessor had cleaned house the same way. Wall Street rewarded the shareholder value back then too. It’s a culminating crap cycle that repeats itself ever 20 years and the health insurance companies reward them with lower premiums too as an extra added bonus. And if that won’t work then they do what is called restructuring with a crap buyout of early retirement for the 50 something year old employees and sell that as a great deal. We’ll be providing our early retirees with 2 years of health insurance and that will give them just enough time that they will fall into the age range that the cost of the premiums for them shall equal the monies they will get from sellout their 401k’s. Then they get sick and they’re really screwed. But if you ask the company; do you think that your treating your employees fairly? Company Answer- they received a paycheck for their work so we don’t own them a thing! But look at this fresh new talent we have acquired! That is the future of our company and the direction we are headed. Of course the top tier management does ok. We have all seen it. The 4-5 million dollar bonuses they receive for commenting that this practice is a normal business model. Don’t you feel bad for the employees that are being forced out? No this is a great opportunity for them to go to work at their local Home Depot. Nuts and bolts are in Isle 3 Sir. Have a nice day!

Board members comparatively don't get much money, since they aren't "employees". Generally you will find that they are executives at some other company, which pays them their real money, and the board job is "part time". He probably lost something south of $200K by losing his board position. Basically small change in his pay grade. Of course he is going to lose his CEO job within the next 3 years or so, as the new Chairman replaces him. But that will be after he finishes taking the fall for this batch of screwups. Then the new guy, who sounds like your typical corporate raider, will take over and make engineering matters far worse with a round of head cutting, as well as getting about twice the current guy's CEO salary.

[@rockcrawler3119]

I used to work for Boeing. I had the chance to talk with Dennis Mullenberg for a bit ling before the 737 crashes. I have to say that conversation was very memorable. I was only a machinist and yet he asked me thing like what worked and what didn't and how he could help. I don't for a second think it was just corporate BS either. He is one of the most genuine guys I have ever met! You can just tell when people are fake and he didn't give that vibe at all. I was very impressed at him in the 10 minutes or so that we spoke. In fact I didn't even know he was the CEO when I was talking to him, as he only introduced himself as Dennis and never mentioned being the CEO. A coworker asked what I talked to the CEO about and that's when I found out who he was. Beacuse he is the captian of the ship he is going to take mist of the blame for the 737 crashes, but honestly I don't know that is fair. I even wonder how much he was told about MCAS in the design phase. I suspect mist if not all the MCAS decisions were made below him. You can all hate him, but after only a 10 minute conversation I could pick up on what a smart guy he was, and he has been someone I aim to emulate every since.

[@skipwood2059]

I believe it is essential to read all three reports and watch Sully's videos to get a thorough perspective on this issue. Parts of the articles in the news media are good and some parts are based on opinion and not factual data. Tongue in Cheek is required. As a 1980's major airline 737 left seat jock, I have learned a lot about the major differences in the amount of confusing alarms and displays that can cause crews to be narrowly focused vs. "look out the window, pull the power back , turn the trim switches off and fly the aircraft". The JATR report and recommendations were eye opening for me, as to the total number of alarms and displays providing confusing information to those pilots who don't fly "Stick and Rudder" regularly. We are blessed in the USA that, if we wish, we can fly "Stick and Rudder" aircraft any time, anywhere to keep our skills up. Other cultures do not have that freedom. Think about it. Juan, thank you for the great coverage on this issue. Major changes to production of future aircraft and training of crews will affect the entire aviation community, down to Part 91 General Aviation. Please continue your great work for the benefit of all of us who have the passion for flight.

The JATR Report is worth reading. Amongst the recommendations, specifically R1. It makes these points and they will be hard for the FFA to ignore: 1. The link between "certification and "safety assurance" was broken with the way the FAA certified the MAX. 2. When progressive design changes are so profound that they nullify the original design, safety certification and operational characteristics of the 737, a new aircraft type certification would be warranted or at least special pilot training in at least simulators be required. 3. The FAA should be the employer of the quality and compliance engineers at Boeing, that their professional qualifications have international recognition and that they are in sufficient numbers to be effective. The implications for getting the MAX recertified to satisfy the international regulators represented on the JATR would seem challenging in the least.

Thank you, Juan. Thank you Chessley Sullenberger (man of few, but important words!) Juan, King 5 t.v. out of Seattle often has very clear insights into Boeing. They often show up on You Tube. Something else that showed up on You Tube after the 2 Max wrecks was a report, complete with visuals, of Boeing's outsourcing for plane components, and how they are made. I remember one that showed a Southern Cali company that had a machine that helped make a part. When the machine broke down, they went to making the part by hand - complete with variances in size due to being hand made. The company, if I remember right, was out of Torrence. When you did your pickle fork failure segment, it helped me to understand why parts are failing. And still, with the Boeing Max planes, it came down to the CEO to decide to not put pilots through the training they would need to be able to handle an emergency in the max effectively. And yet, they keep him on. Unreal!

I was so mad that I took the plunge and signed up to support this cannel through Patreon because I value your perspective. I’m sure we all have enormous respect for Sully, but I have to disagree with his position. Hindsight is always 20/20, and frankly nobody could have foreseen the scenario on LT610 where faulty angle of attack sensor readings triggered MCAS. What we learned after LT610 was what to do in that scenario, and I don’t care what Sully says, the Ethiopian Airlines pilots should have known what they were dealing with, and dealt with it.

Boeing has sold out its hallowed reputation. I cut my teeth in the flight engineer seat of a Boeing 727 (for 6 months), then copilot, then Command...(over 3000 hours), followed by B747 Command. It hurt me to hear about the crashes. It was obvious to me this should have been a new type rating. I fly the G550 and was disappointed the G650 was a new type so I understand the politics but its obvious safety took a back seat at Boeing. Nobody talks about the fact this aircraft has done exactly the same thing which killed the foreign guys to our crews, but they handle it because they come from a background where they can actually "hand fly", we (yanks/europeans) are taught to fly through false alarms...click off the autopilot and fly the "bitch"....its 2nd nature.

That is the reason for a board of directors and usually an odd number. Just my thoughts. Juan great video as usual. I vote for you to join the Boeing board.

Always wondered why there are so many cat videos on YT. Makes sense now, they get PAID for them! Good solid accurate content - sorry, we can't give you any money for that!

Juan, I appreciate this review but I have an unrelated question: How do you get the mighly Luscombe backed into the hangar?

[@blancolirio]

by hand, pushing. Very light. about 900#s

Great update Juan. ThanQ :) Sounds to me like more shifting of deck-chairs. I agree w/ "Sully" 1k%. Human interfacing w/ new tech absolutely needs more conscientious development. *Peace Love & Light 2 Ya*

I understand that you know a lot more about this situation than I do but I don't see how Boeing survives this financially. I know that Washington will prop up Boeing saying they are too big to fail. However so many people want to be compensated for their loss. Over 300 people dead, China, all the airlines and flight crews. As the former owner of a business I know that there is a fine line between purchasing parts and materials and getting paid for what you have manufactured. If the incoming revenue stops cash runs out quickly, assuming you are continuing to pay your suppliers. I think it will be a long time before this aircraft gets back in the air, the wheels at the FAA grind very slowly. The eyes of the aviation world are on the FAA. Boeing pulled a fast one on the FAA and pilots who will not be forgetting this anytime soon. I would be very interested to hear your thoughts on this.

[@bobmar9239]

Is there a correlated between the downturn in Boeing moving the headquarters to Chicago?

[@drenk7]

Good to learn of solid management change. I worked at Boeing and the “Bean Counters” were in charge. You have to meet budget / cost. But they can not be continuously reduced without issues.

Juan - your web link to the chocolate vendor is incorrect, it seems to have an extra 's' at the end. -Thanks, Ervin

[@DB-zh3ti]

So what will Calhoun do if the underlings don't meet their quota? So will the pressure be to work faster which can possibly reduce quality and safety? It's all about the numbers. Sad

[@frantucker608]

Very interesting! Thanks, Juan!

[@rpierce62]

Great video of course. But what wasn't discussed in this video is the push by the airlines to create the air frame that required no additional training. The airlines have a part in this, too. JMO

[@mrgone658]

Agreed; as Juan has stated before (to paraphrase), the blame for the wedding cake of the 737 MAX debacle is abundant enough to smear in the faces of many quadrants of the airline industry.

[@jeffshort6766]

Your very astute. Forcing pilots to fly without proper training. Profits over safety. Well done

[@PabloGonzalez-hv3td]

Pilot training isn't the crux of the issue, had MCAS functioned as intended the training was sufficient. These pilots should never have been exposed in the first place

[@savearhino369]

first watch after work! always excited to see what you are going to cover and look forward to the intro music! will get to pay pal/ patreon ..... thank you, Juan Browne!!!!!

[@joechang8696]

Boeing screwed up on 787 in out sourcing too much of the work. Then it screwed up again by not biting the bullet on Max in not changing the landing gear to accommodate bigger fan. These have to have more than just one person. The board just works for the shareholders. Shareholders are the only ones who voted. A closely held company could have a combined ceo chairman, or a narrowly focused company, but Boeing is neither

[@charliemike4332]

Boeing needs Allan Mually back. Rock star CEO.

[@Joetechlincolns]

Hell, Ford needs Alan Mullaly back. Lol

[@Dstew57A]

Kinda looks like the leaders of Boeing have learned nothing from this debacle.... maybe I’m wrong but good to hear Engineering is toning to have a more prominent role.

[@ricknash3055]

Jaun, Really appreciate your clear analysis of the unfolding Boeing fiasco. Why can't mainstream media be as good as you? Keep up the great work.

[@screwytube]

Juan, what happens when the Do Nothing Congress lays eyeballs on the final report? We have seen their lack of knowledge on social media and other technologies. What makes anyone think the outcome of the Max 8 will instill the confidence of the flying public. Boeing is building at what 40 per month? Then retiring older equipment. Seems like a unintended consequence brewing.

[@xcofcd]

If you ask me there should have been much more severe changes in the Boeing leadership some time ago. I don't understand how the shareholders are OK with the top management staying after what happened. Maybe share prices haven't taken enough of a dive yet...

[@timothycook2917]

Thank goodness David Calhoun has joined the Boeing team. Now I can finally order my D-12 Caterpillar dozer equipped with a GE90 engine and a Boeing glass cockpit !!

[@carpetcowboy58]

Soon after the second unscheduled pinpoint landing (algorithm friendly), EASA seemed to indicate they were no longer going to rubber stamp FAA's airworthiness certificates. Will it take longer to get the MAX in the air across the pond?

[@PabloGonzalez-hv3td]

That's all but a guarantee

[@pauldewar626]

Can’t understand why US companies put so much power in the hands of one person. It is simply poor corporate governance.
