The columnist challenges the simplistic narrative that declining security is driven by profit. He points out that the global aviation industry has become more competitive since the 1970s, but safety has also improved significantly. He points to the grounding of hundreds of Airbus planes due to faulty engines as an example of how even competitors face safety problems.
Attention then turns to the MAX crashing into itself. The author emphasizes that these are different events. According to him, the second accident was not inevitable. The pilot’s actions, despite clear warnings, are considered a contributing factor. He criticizes the Ethiopian investigation for overlooking these aspects and placing the blame solely on Boeing’s flawed software.
According to the observer, the second crash triggered a cascade of problems that were not unique to Boeing. The production shutdown and COVID have led to an exodus of skilled labor. This, combined with pressure to meet deadlines, may have led to shortened deadlines and the recent gate incident.
According to the observer, the solution to the problem lies in time-tested production principles: rigorous training, standardized processes and careful documentation. He believes that the media and political storm surrounding the second crash was a factor that Boeing was unable to cope with.
