'I apologize for the grief we have caused,' Boeing CEO David Calhoun said. 'We are focused on safety.'
Sam Sweeney, Ivan Pereira and Kevin ShalveyThe CEO repeatedly reassured the senators that he was turning the company around and focusing on preventing any safety issues.
Blumenthal, the Democratic chairman of the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs subcommittee, thanked the families for joining the hearing. "Mr. Calhoun, you were brought in turn this company around," Blumenthal said. "But instead of asking what has caused Boeing's safety culture to erode, you and your colleagues in the C-suite have deflected blame, looked the other way, and catered to your shareholders instead."
Several former employees have testified that the company has retaliated against people speaking out against the company or raising concerns about current practices. The hearing came after not long after Blumenthal said he received new information about Boeing's questionable practices.
