Boeing CEO Dave Calhoun is slated to issue a formal apology for Boeing’s recent safety failures and acknowledge systemic issues within the company culture during his Senate testimony on Tuesday. His statement will emphasize accountability for the lapses that have affected Boeing’s reputation and operations. Calhoun intends to outline steps Boeing is taking to rectify these issues and enhance safety measures moving forward.
However, amidst the apology, Calhoun plans to refute whistleblower claims alleging that Boeing retaliated against employees who raised concerns about safety practices. He is expected to defend Boeing’s actions and argue that the company has been responsive to addressing safety issues, while also committing to transparency and cooperation with regulatory authorities to regain trust and ensure compliance with safety standards.
