Boeing fires managers over construction defects on the 737 Max. Ed Clark, the head of the Boeing 737 Max program, is leaving the company effective immediately.
Katie Ringgold, who was previously responsible for deliveries, will be her successor. Boeing is under pressure from regulators, airlines and US politicians after an Alaska Airlines Boeing Max 9 lost a fuselage part while flying over the US state on January 5. The company is now sending the signal that it is taking the deficiencies seriously and wants to make a fresh start when it comes to safety.
