Boeing's Safety Culture Under Scrutiny as Expert Panel's Report Reveals Troubling Findings

An expert panel published a report on Boeing's safety culture at the direction of Congress following the 737 MAX crashes. The panel reviewed over 4,000 pages of documents and conducted over 250 interviews over 11 months. It found documentation and interviews did not show Boeing has a "foundational commitment to safey," as it describes. There was a disconnect between senior leadership and other employees on safety culture. Boeing's human factors capabilities eroded due to organizational changes over decades.
