TORONTO -- For the families of Canadians killed in the Ethiopian Airlines crash, Boeing CEO Dennis Muilenburg’s admission in front of U.S. Congress that the company “made mistakes” fell mostly flat.
“There’s certain things you’d like to hear from Dennis Muilenburg, but you know he’s never going to go down there,” Chris Moore, whose daughter Danielle died in the Ethiopian Airlines crash, said following the meeting. “ other things that we did hear that they were somewhat helpful, but ultimately a lot of it we’ve already heard, including the apologies.”
Moore was among 18 Canadians on the flight. Another two passengers were in the process of applying to become permanent residents in Canada. During the testimony, Muilenburg was questioned about some internal messages from 2016 by a senior test pilot who noted an “egregious” problem with the plane’s flight-control system, MCAS, which is being implicated in both crashes.
“It might be too late for my daughter, but for the next generation, it will not happen this way. People should be held responsible for their actions.”
It was painful to watch. They’re going to get away with killing hundreds of people and everyone is talking about a phone call.
this PIG cared for Profits ...ONLY and never for Passengers!!
hehe like he's gonna be on the side of the people he killed.

‘We know we made mistakes’ on 737 Max, Boeing CEO saysMuilenburg, who was stripped of his title as Boeing chairman by the board earlier this month, will testify before the U.S. House of Representatives Transportation and Infrastructure Committee on Wednesday globebusiness No shite! globebusiness Dear Boeing: Putting a jet into operation, one that you discovered early in production from your own test pilots, that had a fatal design flaw, then withheld that info about that fatal design from commercial airline pilots, is not a 'mistake'. It was a conscious criminal act. globebusiness Understandable but in this industry, mistakes cost lives. No matter how tight the competition, never ever rush to production any modifications without backups for backups. Cutting corners not acceptable.

'We have made mistakes,' Boeing CEO tells U.S. CongressBoeing CEO Dennis Muilenburg faced tough questioning from senators on Tuesday about two crashes of 737 Max jets and whether the company concealed information about a critical flight system from regulators. Testing aircraft using paying passengers is not a mistake. It is a criminal act. If these were American Airlines passengers Boeing would be defunct. Surcharging for safety measures is inexcusable. Well duh No. You were greedy
