FAA to Audit Boeing After Door Incident
The Spin
Right narrative
Thankfully, no one was harmed during the dramatic incident in which a door panel flew off the side of a Boeing plane, however, there is a clear danger that a similar malfunction could become the norm. Corporate programs that focus on issues like diversity, equity, and inclusion have often been prioritized over safety initiatives. These firms need to re-focus on quality and safety.
Left narrative
There was obviously a problem at some point in Boeing's production and manufacturing of the 737 Max 9 involved in last week’s incident, but the problem is not in diversity, equity, and inclusion programs that are vital to a vibrant workforce. The issue is instead on the private sector pursuing ruthless profits and cutting corners in the production process — more regulation and oversight are needed.
