Isikhulu se-Boeing uDennis A. Muilenburg sikhiphe isitatimende esilandelayo ephendula isitatimende sayo I-737 Max isofthiwe, ukukhiqizwa:
Njengoba sisebenzisana eduze namakhasimende kanye nabalawuli bomhlaba wonke ukuze sibuyisele i-737 MAX enkonzweni, siyaqhubeka siqhutshwa amanani ethu ahlala njalo, ngokugxila ekuphepheni, ubuqotho kanye nekhwalithi kukho konke esikwenzayo.
Manje sesiyazi ukuthi izingozi zakamuva ze-Lion Air Flight 610 kanye ne-Ethiopian Airlines Flight 302 zidalwe uchungechunge lwezenzakalo, nesixhumanisi seketango elivamile ukwenziwa kusebenze okuyiphutha komsebenzi wendiza we-MCAS. Sinomthwalo wemfanelo wokuqeda lobu bungozi, futhi siyazi ukuthi sikwenza kanjani. Njengengxenye yalo mzamo, senza inqubekelaphambili ekubuyekezeni isofthiwe ye-737 MAX ezonqanda izingozi ezifana nalezi ukuthi zingaphinde zenzeke. Amaqembu asebenza ngokuzikhandla, ethuthukisa futhi ehlola isofthiwe, enza ukubuyekezwa okungewona abameli, futhi abandakanya abalawuli namakhasimende emhlabeni wonke njengoba siqhubekela ekutholeni izitifiketi okokugcina. Ngisanda kuthola ithuba lokubona isibuyekezo sesofthiwe sisebenza ngokuphephile phakathi nendiza yedemo engu-737 MAX 7. Futhi siphothula izifundo ezintsha zokuqeqesha umshayeli kanye nezinto zemfundo ezengeziwe zamakhasimende ethu e-MAX womhlaba. Le nqubekelaphambili iwumphumela wendlela yethu ebanzi, enezigwegwe kanye nokuthatha isikhathi esidingekayo ukuyilungisa.
Njengoba siqhubeka nokusebenza ngalezi zinyathelo, silungisa isistimu yokukhiqiza ye-737 okwesikhashana ukuze ifake ukumisa okwesikhashana ekulethweni kwe-MAX, okusivumela ukuthi sibeke phambili izinsiza ezengeziwe ukuze sigxile ekutholeni isitifiketi sesofthiwe futhi sibuyisele i-MAX endizeni. Sithathe isinqumo sokusuka esilinganisweni sokukhiqizwa kwezindiza ezingama-52 ngenyanga siye kwengama-42 ngenyanga kusukela maphakathi no-April.
Ngezinga lokukhiqiza izindiza ezingama-42 ngenyanga, uhlelo lwama-737 kanye namaqembu akhiqizayo ahlobene azogcina amazinga awo amanje okuqashwa kuyilapho siqhubeka nokutshala imali kwezempilo ebanzi kanye nekhwalithi yohlelo lwethu lokukhiqiza kanye nechungechunge lokuhlinzeka.
Sisebenzisana eduze namakhasimende ethu njengoba sisebenza ngezinhlelo zokunciphisa umthelela walokhu kulungiswa. Sizophinde sisebenze ngokuqondile nabahlinzeki bethu ezinhlelweni zabo zokukhiqiza ukuze sinciphise ukuphazamiseka kokusebenza nomthelela wezezimali woshintsho lwezinga lokukhiqiza.
Ngenxa yokuzibophezela kwethu ekwenzeni ngcono okuqhubekayo nokuzimisela kwethu ukwenza njalo imboni ephephile iphephe nakakhulu, ngicele Ibhodi Labaqondisi be-Boeing ukuthi lisungule ikomiti elizobuyekeza izinqubomgomo nezinqubo zenkampani yethu yonke yokuklama nokuthuthukiswa kwezindiza. siyakha. Ikomidi lizoqinisekisa ukusebenza kwezinqubomgomo nezinqubo zethu zokuqinisekisa izinga eliphezulu lokuphepha kuhlelo lwe-737-MAX, kanye nezinye izinhlelo zethu zendiza, futhi lincome ukuthuthukiswa kwezinqubomgomo nezinqubo zethu.
Amalungu ekomiti kuzoba ngu-Adm. Edmund P. Giambastiani, Jr., (Ret.), owayeyiphini likasihlalo, i-US Joint Chiefs of Staff, ozosebenza njengosihlalo wekomiti; Robert A. Bradway, usihlalo kanye ne-CEO ye-Amgen, Inc.; Lynn J. Good, usihlalo, umongameli kanye ne-CEO ye-Duke Energy Corporation; kanye no-Edward M. Liddy, owayengusihlalo kanye no-CEO we-Allstate Corporation, wonke amalungu ebhodi lenkampani. Laba bantu bakhethwe ukuthi basebenze kuleli komiti ngenxa yokuhlangenwe nakho kwabo okuhlangene nokubanzi okuhlanganisa izindima zobuholi ezinkampanini, ezimbonini ezilawulwayo kanye nezinhlaka zikahulumeni lapho ukuphepha nokuphepha kwezimpilo kubaluleke kakhulu.
Ukuphepha kuwumthwalo wethu, futhi singabanikazi bakho. Uma i-MAX ibuyela esibhakabhakeni, sithembise amakhasimende ethu endiza kanye nabagibeli bawo nabasebenzi ukuthi kuzophepheka njenganoma iyiphi indiza eke indize. Indlela yethu eqhubekayo yokuqondisa izigwegwe iyisinqumo esifanele kubasebenzi bethu, amakhasimende, ozakwethu abahlinzeki kanye nabanye ababambiqhaza njengoba sisebenza nabalawuli bomhlaba wonke kanye namakhasimende ukubuyisela imikhumbi ye-737 MAX enkonzweni futhi sifeze izibopho zethu kubo bonke ababambiqhaza bethu.
