Boeing ousts the head of its 737 Max program after Alaska Airlines’ midair blowout

LA Times  

In a management shakeup, Boeing has replaced the executive heading its 737 Max aircraft program after a door plug blew out while an Alaska Air 737 MAX 9 aircraft was in flight last month. Boeing Co. ousted the head of its 737 Max program after a midair blowout of a fuselage panel on an Alaska Airlines jet led to withering scrutiny of the manufacturing quality of the plane maker’s most important model. Katie Ringgold succeeds Clark as vice president and general manager of the 737 program and Boeing’s factory in Renton, Wash. Boeing is also promoting Elizabeth Lund, a longtime engineering and operations leader, to a newly created post that will give her companywide oversight of quality measures. U.S. regulators have sent teams of inspectors to Boeing’s factories to review its quality controls and those of the supplier that makes most of the 737 Max’s fuselage.
