) Chief Executive Dennis Muilenburg was repeatedly hammered by U.S. lawmakers at a hearing on Wednesday over his compensation and key mistakes in the development of the 737 MAX that he newly acknowledged, in the wake of deadly crashes.
Back-to-back hearings in Washington in the Senate and House, the highest-profile congressional scrutiny of commercial aviation safety in years, heap pressure on a newly rejiggered Boeing senior management team fighting to repair trust with airline customers and passengers shaken by an eight-month safety ban on its 737 MAX.
Cohen thundered: “So you are saying you are not giving up any compensation at all? You are continuing to work and make $30 million dollars a year after the horrific two accidents that caused all of these people’s relatives to go, to disappear, to die?”“You’re not accountable? You’re saying the board’s accountable?” Cohen said.Later, Representative John Garamendi of California ticked off “serious quality issues” on other Boeing flagship aircraft such as the 787 Dreamliner and KC-46 aerial tanker.
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.
The 737 MAX, when regulators ultimately clear it to return to service, will have a number of new safeguards. It will take data from the attack sensors and not let MCAS activate more than once before a situation has been resolved. Muilenburg also said, “clearly, we had some areas to improve” regarding MCAS. And finally he said the company should have been more “efficient and comprehensive” in its communications and documentation “across all of our shareholders.”
