Boeing board to call for safety changes after 737 Max crashes

For the past 5 months, a small committee of Boeing’s board has been interviewing company employees, safety experts and executives at other industrial organisations in an attempt to understand how the aerospace giant could design and build safer airplanes. The committee is expected to deliver its findings to the full Boeing board this week, and call for several meaningful changes to the way the company is structured, according to 3 people briefed on the matter. The recommendations will include that Boeing change aspects of its organisational structure, calling for the creation of new groups focused on safety and encouraging the company to consider making changes to the cockpits of future airplanes to accommodate a new generation of pilots, some of whom may have less training. <br/>
