NTSB Chair Jennifer Homendy’s comments come as the agency is hosting a two-day long series of hearings over what happened in the lead-up to the Alaska Airlines January 5 accident.
National Transportation Safety Board Jennifer Homendy criticized Boeing as a senior executive deflected a question at a hearing Tuesday about the company’s practices before the January 5 Alaska Airlines blowout accident.
“This isn't a PR campaign for Boeing,” Homendy said. “What I want to know is what happened in March, April, May, June, July, August, September, leading up to what happened in January.”
Homendy’s comments come as Elizabeth Lund, the senior vice president of quality at Boeing Commercial Airplanes, focused more on the plane maker’s attempts to improve its quality control since the blowout.
