Companies (and people) are not judged somuch on the mistakes they make - as they way that they recover from them.
This is very true. Mistakes happen, how a supplier deals with these mistakes is the key to recovery. This involves keeping in good close communication with customers and providing an effective solution in the shortest possible time. Boeing seems to be on the right track, they are consulting with their customers daily and this can be confirmed by the fact that we have heard very little back lash from customers or future customers, infact they seem to be very supportive of Boeing. This is what counts.
The effectiveness of the improvements made will be judged by the Boeing and FAA engineers and they will be able to make a more informed decision that anyone else. However no one knows for sure, the coming months/years will confirm this.
I don’t think Boeing care too much about negative speculation on anonymous forums. Such negative people have cried wolf too often and now they hold no credibility even if there is some truth in what they are saying. Whatdoesthisbuttondo and others, thanks for the balanced views.
