DAVID SCHAPER, BYLINE: Investigations into Boeing's airplane design flaws, production problems and safety lapses have been numerous over the last several years. SCHAPER: A panel of independent aviation experts assembled by the FAA spent a year looking into Boeing's safety management systems and culture and found them lacking.
