Airline CEOs Seek Meeting With Boeing Directors to Address Production Problems.

Major airline CEOs have requested a meeting with Boeing's board of directors to express concerns over the recent Alaska Airlines accident and production problems. The CEOs want Boeing to address the fallout from the accident and provide a plan for fixing the company's quality problems. Boeing has offered to send Chairman Larry Kellner and other board members to meet with the airline leaders. The request for a meeting reflects frustration with Boeing's problems and its CEO, David Calhoun. The Alaska accident has raised questions about Boeing's production quality controls and the safety of the 737 MAX. Airlines have experienced delivery delays and a slowdown in approvals of new Boeing aircraft, impacting their growth plans. The FAA, National Transportation Safety Board, and Justice Department are also scrutinizing Boeing's problems. Despite these issues, overall demand for flights remains strong and air travel in the U.S. remains safe. Some travel-booking sites are allowing users to exclude specific aircraft models from their search results. [Extracted from the article]
