Boeing Grapples with Safety Scrutiny: A Lesson in Trust and Quality Assurance
==========
Boeing is facing increased scrutiny after a door panel fell off an Alaska Airlines Boeing 737 mid-flight. This incident adds to the company's existing challenges, including trade disputes, Congressional oversight, and potential lawsuits. CEO Dave Calhoun has apologized and outlined a plan to improve quality assurance. Some experts suggest bringing production in-house and increasing safety measures. Boeing's stability is seen as nationally important, similar to 'too big to fail' banks. The FAA has pledged to tighten oversight of Boeing and halt production expansion until quality control issues are resolved. The company's future depends on restoring faith in its commitment to safety and quality.
