Maria Cantwell (D-Wash.) during the Senate Commerce, Science, and Transportation Committee nomination hearing on Wednesday, October 4, 2023.\uff09<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After recently visiting Boeing\u2019s facilities, Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Administrator Michael Whitaker said he found there are issues with the company\u2019s safety culture but expects the aviation giant will get its act together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThere are issues around the safety culture in Boeing. Their priorities have been focused on production and not on safety and quality,\u201d he told NBC News\u2019 Lester Holt on Tuesday. \u201cAnd so, what we are really focused on now is shifting that focus from production to safety and quality.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Whitaker spoke with Holt more than two months after a door panel blew off an Alaska Airlines 737 Max 9 shortly after taking off. It landed Boeing, the aircraft manufacturing company, under a microscope.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since the plane made an emergency landing in Portland, Ore., Boeing has been criticized following a series of plane mishaps. In early March, a United Airlines Boeing plane lost a tire after takeoff, adding another incident to the list of safety-related questions for the company.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Whitaker said something that concerned him at Boeing was that a \u201cthorough safety briefing\u201d before going on the manufacturing floor was not part of the process. He added that not a lot of conversation was focused on \u201cquality, assurance and safety\u201d because it was centered around production.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAnd there\u2019s nothing wrong with production, but it has to follow safety,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After launching its own investigations into the recent incidents, the FAA faulted Boeing for quality control problems in a statement earlier this month. The agency said its six-week audit of Boeing found \u201cmultiple instances when the companies allegedly failed to comply with manufacturing quality control requirements.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Holt read a recent statement from Boeing that said the company is focused on \u201cdemonstrating change and building trust one airplane at a time.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The \u201cNightly News\u201d host asked Whitaker that even though Boeing is experiencing heightened criticism, if it may be \u201ctoo big to fail.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cEconomics isn\u2019t part of my portfolio, but I would say they\u2019re too bit to not make a good airplane. They have all the resources they need,\u201d Whitaker responded. \u201cThere\u2019s no reason they can\u2019t make a good airplane and that\u2019s our focus right now.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\uff08Nominee for Administrator of the Federal Aviation Administration Michael Whitaker listens to questions from Sen.
