Boeing will suspend production of its 737 Max planes in January.
The former manager, Ed Pierson, said a push to increase production of the planes had created a “factory in chaos.”
“All my internal warning bells are going off,” Pierson said in an email to Scott Campbell, the general manager of the 737 Max program, four months before the Lion Air crash."And for the first time in my life, I’m sorry to say that I’m hesitant about putting my family on a Boeing airplane." There is no evidence linking the crashes to the conditions Pierson said he saw at the plant in Renton, Washington, although the former Navy squadron commander’s observations have raised new questions about Boeing’s hectic push to manufacture the plane.
The company defended its handling of Pierson’s concerns, saying they had been scrutinized at the “highest levels" of the company. "Mr. Pierson raises issues about the production of the 737 MAX, yet none of the authorities investigating these accidents have found that production conditions in the 737 factory contributed in any way to these accidents,” the company said in a statement.
