Boeing faces mounting challenges, including unresolved worker strikes and a decline in industry trust following a series of incidents, including safety concerns with its spacecraft.
The report underscores the FAA’s failure to maintain an effective oversight system, calling into question the safety standards upheld in the production of Boeing airplanes.
