Boeing's 737 Max 8 suffered two deadly crashes in a matter of months, the first in October in Indonesia with the death of all 189 people on board and then in Ethiopia on March 10, killing all 157 aboard. By Douglas MacMillan Douglas MacMillan Reporter covering corporate accountability Email Bio Follow April 24 at 8:45 AM Boeing reported a drop in earnings and sales Wednesday, as the company acknowledged that concerns over the safety of its 737 Max airplanes are taking a toll on its business.
Perhaps more troubling for investors, Boeing took the unusual step of withdrawing its estimates for future financial results, saying it could not predict sales while it is still working to update the software on the 737 Max and get the plane’s safety approved by regulators. Though the company was slow to acknowledge the severity of issues with the 737 Max, CEO Dennis Muilenburg has previously apologized for the loss of life caused by the crashes.
OMG! A WaPo headline based purely in fact!! Somebody call Bezos! Someone needs to be fired!!! MAGA
Boeing needs to take a good hard look at itself and how much they’ve sacrificed for profit.
How many people have to die in unsafe aircrafts before Boeing drops in earnings aren’t so rare?
dmac1 How does the wapo “corporate accountability reporter” focus mainly on Boeing’s finances/earnings/stock value and skip all the details of bad practices and specific business decisions that resulted in the deaths of hundreds? Where’s the actual accountability?
i'm sure that company will be fine
There are pending law suits that it'll either lose or settle out of court. If you have cash, short this company.
