@jonostrower Calhoun said the “engineered solution” on the 737-7 engine inlet will be ready in “9 months” and CFO Brian West said it’ll be around a year. That should push certification and delivery to Southwest well into 2025.
@jonostrower Calhoun confirms that Boeing will hold at 38 per month on 737 until the FAA is satisfied it is ready to build faster. Boeing had wanted to be at 50 to 60 per month by mid-decade.
@jonostrower The more important part is this latest grounding with the Max 9 is starting to tarnish the brand of the 737 overall — one of the safest airplanes ever produced. That didn’t happen in 2018-2020 and that precisely underscores how acute this current crisis has become for Boeing.
@Oriana0214 Boeing CEO David Calhoun says on the company’s earnings call that regardless of “whatever conclusions are reached” regarding the investigation into Alaska Airlines’ flight 1282, “Boeing is accountable for what happened.”
