Outgoing Boeing CEO Dave Calhoun turned to apologize directly to the family members who lost loved ones in Boeing crashes during his opening testimony Tuesday before a Senate subcommittee. Every day, we seek to honor the memory of those lost through a steadfast commitment to safety and quality,” Calhoun continued. The hearing came just hours after yet another Boeing whistleblower stepped forward. After the Alaska Airlines blowout in January, the outgoing CEO said Boeing was “accountable for what happened,” a sentiment he plans to echo in his opening remarks before the subcommittee. “Importantly, we went beyond to look comprehensively at our quality and manufacturing systems.”Federal aviation experts identified “gaps” in Boeing safety culture in a February FAA report that began before the Alaska Airlines blowout.
