Founded in 1916, Boeing built a reputation as the gold standard in aviation design. But the storied company has been under scrutiny from regulators and the public alike after the 2018 and 2019 crashes of its 737 MAX, resulting in 346 deaths, and another incident with a 737 MAX this January involving a door panel blowing out mid-flight. Correspondent Kris Van Cleave talks with investigative reporter Peter Robison (author of "Flying Blind"), and with a 737 pilot who says change at Boeing is desperately needed now.

"It's Not the Airplane I Don't Trust...It's The People Who Delivered it To Me..." Best scary soundbyte ever. Hope the 737 pilot doesn't get blowback for his candor.

Thank you for this story. It shows the state of corporate power today. Honor & ethics be damned.

We are deeply committed. That does not answer the dudes question

The PR lady is my favorite part. She literally just gave the same old taking points that the question was actually about. She might as well have said, "you can't trust us. Don't trust us."

Try spending money on removing problems in manufacturing instead if removing informants. If there's no problems, there won't be whistleblowers

Funny how Boeing was helping NASA but now they can't even send people to low orbit.

The fact that 2 Whistleblowers are dead is extremely disturbing

An off-airport landing.... don't we call that a crash?

They're displaying all the worst traits of McDonnell-Douglas. This absolutely could have and should have been prevented. As soon as incidents started happening because of design and manufacturing flaws, that should have been all the warning we needed.

They're deeply committed to profits! Period.

Can Boeing recover the public's trust? Short answer: No... But honestly its not like Boing really cares.

Deeply committed to bs talk. If you don’t trust the people that delivered it to you then you can’t trust the product itself ✈️

Sad that many companies put quantity over quality.
