During a recent Senate Commerce Committee hearing on Boeing's safety culture, CEO Kelly Ortberg admitted to past lapses in safety but denied worker pressure to speed production. The hearing stemmed from an incident involving a door plug blowout on a 737 MAX-9 aircraft that endangered passengers. Senator Ted Cruz criticized Boeing's oversight and called attention to its production practices, suggesting they led to unacceptable safety failures. Ortberg responded by stating that significant reforms are underway to enhance safety standards within the company.
"The incident produced fresh doubt about Boeing's ability to safely build planes," said Sen. Ted Cruz, expressing concern over the production pressures and lack of oversight at Boeing.
Boeing CEO Kelly Ortberg acknowledged that the company has made "serious missteps in recent years" but insists significant changes have been made to enhance safety protocols.
