Boeing makes personnel changes in wake of 737 crashes

Boeing has implemented changes among its top engineering team as it works to deal with the fallout of 2 recent crashes and subsequent grounding of the 737 Max 8. John Hamilton has been named chief engineer, whereas previously he was both a VP and chief engineer. In his changed role, he will focus on the crash investigations into Lion Air flight JT610 and Ethiopian Airlines flight ET302. "In this capacity, Hamilton is responsible for bringing the necessary engineering resources and capabilities together from across the company to work through the major accident investigations and other technical risks impacting Commercial Airplanes products and businesses," says the company. Until the middle of 2013, Hamilton was the VP/chief project engineer for the 737 programme. <br/>
