WASHINGTON (Reuters) – The chair of the National Transportation Safety Board told new Boeing Co CEO Kelly Ortberg that the planemaker “has a safety culture problem” that must be addressed.
NTSB Chair Jennifer Homendy told reporters on the sidelines of an event in Washington that she told Boeing’s new chief executive in a recent conversation the company must make changes. “Unless they have a partnership with their workforce, a lot of these issues are not going to be fixed,” Homendy said. “Right now they have a workforce that doesn’t trust Boeing.”
