Pilots are angry the company didn't tell them about the new software that's been implicated in the crashes in Indonesia and Ethiopia.
The chief executive of Boeing said the company made a"mistake" in handling a problematic cockpit warning system in its 737 Max jets before two crashes killed 346 people, and he promised transparency as the aircraft maker works to get the grounded plane back in flight.
Boeing and the FAA have said the warning light wasn't critical for flight safety. But the botched communication has eroded trust in Boeing as the company struggles to rebound from the passenger jet crashes in Indonesia and Ethiopia.Pilots also have expressed anger that Boeing did not inform them about the new software that's been implicated in the fatal crashes.
In the United States, Boeing has faced scrutiny from members of Congress and the FAA over how it reported the problem involving a cockpit warning light. But Tajer said he thinks Boeing made a series of unprecedented communication missteps that have"created a massive headwind to rebuilding trust." The Max crashes, a slowing global economy, and damage from tariffs and trade fights threaten to cloud the mood at the Paris Air Show. Along with its alternating-years companion, the Farnborough International Airshow near London, the Paris show is usually a celebration of cutting-edge aviation technology.
