Boeing provided new documents that ‘point to a very disturbing picture’ about the 737 MAX aircraft to regulators and congressional investigators just hours after former CEO Dennis Muilenburg resigned, officials said Tuesday.

The documents were given to the House of Representatives infrastructure committee and the Federal Aviation Administration late Monday, and paint a concerning picture about Boeing’s response to safety issues following two fatal plane crashes that killed 346 people.

Since the crashes, Boeing has faced intense scrutiny over its decision to keep flying the aircraft model after the first crash in Indonesia, allegedly brushing off safety concerns from employees and whether it prioritized competition over security.

‘Similar to other records previously disclosed by Boeing, the records appear to point to a very disturbing picture of both concerns expressed by Boeing employees about the company’s commitment to safety and efforts by some employees’ to ensure the company’s production plans weren’t disrupted, an aid told Reuters.

In a statement, Boeing said it ‘proactively brought these communications to the FAA and Congress as part of our commitment to transparency with our regulators and the oversight committees.’

‘We have made significant changes as a company in the past nine months to enhance our safety processes, organizations, and culture,’ they continued.

Boeing previously released more than 2016 messages, including ones that show a pilot raising questions about the performance of a vital safety feature during testing.

A Boeing spokesman also added that the company has made efforts ‘in the past nine months to enhance our safety processes, organization and culture.’

In October 2018, the Lion Air Flight 610 was scheduled to make a domestic flight in Indonesia when the Boeing aircraft crashed because of a malfunction.

The plane’s Maneuvering Characteristics Augmentation System, or MCAS, pushed the aircraft’s nose down and caused pilots' to desperately fight for control.

The same malfunction occurred on Ethiopian Airlines Flight 302 that was scheduled for an international trip in March 2019.

Despite Boeing shaking up their leadership by ousting Muilenburg, the latest documents make it clear that Boeing will continue to face questions about its role in the fatalities well into 2020.

Muilenburg publicly announced his resignation on Monday just one day after the return of the Starliner flight that threatened to derail Boeing's attempts to launch astronauts for NASA in 2020.

Minutes after the Starliner took off from Cape Canaveral, Florida, on Friday, a software glitch caused the spacecraft to launch into the wrong orbit, prompting officials to route it back to Earth instead of continuing on to the International Space Station.

The capsule did successfully land on the Army's White Sands Missile Range in the predawn darkness on Sunday, ending a two-day demo that should have lasted more than a week.

Muilenburg has compensation benefits that range between $30million and $39million, according to company filings accessed by The Telegraph.

He also has an executive pension pot worth an additional $13million that will accompany him as he leaves his position.

That comes atop an approximate $70million that Muilenburg earned during his four-and-a-half years as Boeing's top executive.

The complete payout is around the same size as the $50million financial assistant fund Boeing created for families of the 346 crash victims.

Previously, Muilenburg announced that he would give up around $20million in bonuses and stock grants following the two crashes.

Chairman David Calhoun publicly backed Muilenburg and insisted on the company’s faith in his ability in an interview with CNBC in November.

It has since been announced that Calhoun will take over Muilenburg’s CEO position on January 13.

‘From the vantage point of our board, Dennis has done everything right. It was a set of engineering decisions that ended up being wrong,’ he said.

'Dennis didn't create this problem, but from the beginning he knew that MCAS should and could be done better, and he has led a program to rewrite MCAS to alleviate all of those conditions that ultimately beset two unfortunate crews and the families and victims.’

Muilenburg is currently under investigation by the Justice Department and Congress.

In Congress, members questioned Muilenburg’s compensation while challenging him to resign or at least give up pay.

Last year, Muilenburg was paid $23.4 million, including a $13.1 million bonus and $7.3 million in stock awards.

Stock awards from previous years reportedly pushed Muilenburg's total to more than $30 million.

‘Mr. Muilenburg's answers to our questions were consistent with a culture of concealment and opaqueness and reflected the immense pressure exerted on Boeing employees during the development and production of the 737 Max,’ said Peter DeFazio, D-Ore., chairman of the House Transportation Committee and Rick Larsen, D-Wash., chairman of the aviation subcommittee.

As Boeing continues to be investigated, the company said the decision to change leadership was ‘necessary.’

Boeing announced that they are working to repair their relationship with regulators and passengers after a tumultuous year

'The Board of Directors decided that a change in leadership was necessary to restore confidence in the Company moving forward as it works to repair relationships with regulators, customers, and all other stakeholders,' the company said Monday.

The lack of confidence in Boeing’s safety protocols played a role in the 737 MAX’s ban from flying after the March crash, and in the Federal Aviation Administration’s decision to deny approval for the plane’s return to service in 2020.

Calhoun said he ardently believes in the future of Boeing and the 7373 MAX aircraft.

Bank of America Merrill Lynch revealed it had ‘mixed feelings’ about Calhouns’s appointment, saying they wonder if the company culture will change under his guidance.

‘We wonder if appointing from within, especially an insider that has been with the company for 10 years, signals more of the same from Boeing vs an outside appointee who may have offered more of a change of pace and culture,’ the bank said.

JPMorgan Chase have accused Muilenburg of struggling as a public voice for Boeing in response to the tragedies and in communication with regulators and customers.

‘We expect David Calhoun to do better on both scores. This is something,’ JPMorgan said.

'But Boeing's failures on the MAX are more than poor communication so it will be important for Mr. Calhoun to show early how he intends to act differently.

'This is particularly important since he has been a director since 2009 and therefore part of this situation from the start, even if in an oversight role.'

Following the shakeup, board member Lawrence Kellner will become non-executive chairman of the board effective immediately and Chief Financial Officer Greg Smith will serve as interim CEO during the brief transition period.

Boeing CEO admits key mistakes in development of 737 MAX In October then Boeing CEO Dennis Muilenburg, who was fired Monday, admitted key mistakes in the development of the 737 MAX. He was repeatedly hammered by U.S. lawmakers at a hearing over flaws with the 737 MAX, which has been grounded in the wake of two deadly crashes. Boeing's development of a key flight control system, known as MCAS, took front and center at the hearing as Muilenburg acknowledged 'we made some mistakes' in its design. The anti-stall system, which was at the center of twin crashes in Ethiopia and Indonesia that killed 346 people, automatically pushed the plane's nose down in both crashes and left pilots fighting for control. Family members hold photos of the victims of Boeing 737 MAX crashes as Boeing Chief Executive Dennis Muilenburg testifies before the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee on Wednesday Lawmakers released Boeing documents that showed the company had considered adding an MCAS failure alert on the flight control panel to the 737 MAX. Another Boeing document warned that if a pilot failed to respond in more than 10 seconds to the software, activation could lead to a 'catastrophic' failure. A newly released internal email from 2015 was also released in which a Boeing engineer had voiced concerns about whether the flight control system they were developing was unsafe because it relied on a single sensor. 'Are we vulnerable to single AOA sensor failures with the MCAS implementation,' the employee wrote. The email, which was sent more than a year before the plane received final approval to fly, raised concerns about an issue that would go on to be the cause of the two fatal crashes. Advertisement
