Boeing CEO to face congressional grilling as new whistleblower claims emerge
CBSN
Boeing CEO David Calhoun is slated to face a Congressional grilling on Tuesday in his first appearance before lawmakers since a panel blew out of a 737 Max during an Alaska Airlines flight in January. Calhoun will tell the Senate investigations subcommittee that the culture is "far from perfect" — just as two new whistleblowers have emerged.
According to prepared remarks shared by Boeing ahead of the 2 p.m. Eastern hearing, Calhoun said the company is "committed to making sure every employee feels empowered to speak up if there is a problem," and stressed that Boeing is working on improving "transparency and accountability, while elevating employee engagement."
On Tuesday, the Senate subcommittee released information on two whistleblowers who have recently emerged. One, current Boeing employee Sam Mohawk, alleges that "Boeing is improperly documenting, tracking and storing parts that are damaged or otherwise out of specification, and that those parts are likely being installed on airplanes," according to the statement.
