It has been reported that Boeing CEO Dennis Muilenburg has offered this quip to the public:
Boeing’s board will establish a committee to review how the company designs and develops aircraft, Muilenburg added. The group will “recommend improvements to our policies and procedures” for its 737 Max and other aircraft programmes.
That what is probably the world's most pre-eminent large passenger aircraft designer and manufacturer appears to have serious doubts about its ability to design and develop aircraft is a very telling line. I'll believe it will be a worthwhile exercise only if the committee membership specifically excludes lawyers and MBA-qualified commercial/managerial types, as I suspect that they are at the root of the ills that are found in the shadows in the background of today's Boeing Commercial Airplane Company organisational culture.
