Boeing CEO apologizes to families for aircraft safety failings

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Boeing CEO David Calhoun on Tuesday apologized to the families of people who died in crashes in the manufacturer’s planes, while members of both parties on a U.S. Senate panel grilled the executive for failing on safety and transparency.

Calhoun appeared at a hearing of the Investigations Subcommittee of the Senate Homeland Security and Government Affairs Committee to discuss recent failings of Boeing jets and the company’s treatment of whistleblowers.

Democrats and Republicans on the panel said Calhoun was more concerned about the company’s profits than its safety record.

“Boeing needs to stop thinking about the next earning call and start thinking about the next generation,” subcommittee Chair Richard Blumenthal, a Connecticut Democrat, said in an opening statement.

2. That was about as sincere as the "grilling" coming from the GOPers on that committee.

Watching the clips of Josh Hawley's histrionics was nauseating. That ratbastard and his party are the ones who enabled the conditions that allowed Boeing's corruption and incompetence. Boeing cut corners on manufacturing, and abused their labor in order to increase their profits? They did that because you motherfuckers have been gutting safety and labor regulations for decades. Take your political theater and shove it up your asses.
