UMnyango Wezobulungiswa wase-US uyalandisa uphenyo lwawo lweBoeing, uphenya amacala okuthi umkhiqizo we-787 Dreamliner wahlushwa ukungasebenzi ngendlela efanayo okwabulala i-737 MAX eyayizolahlwa kwaholela ekufeni kwamakhulu.
Abashushisi bombuso bacele amarekhodi ahlobene nokukhiqizwa kwe-787 Dreamliner esitshalweni saseBoeing eSouth Carolina, lapho imithombo emibili ekhulume neSeattle Times ithe kube nezinsolo "zomsebenzi ongafanele." Umthombo wesithathu uqinisekise ukuthi abasebenzi abasebenza embonini yaseCharleston bathole ama-subpoena ekuqaleni kwenyanga avela "eqenjini elifanayo" labashushisi abenza uphenyo oluqhubekayo ku-737 MAX.
UBoeing usesihlalweni esishisayo ngenxa yokusebenza okungekho esimweni esifanelekile nokusika amakhona esitshalweni saseNingizimu Carolina. Abashushisi kungenzeka bakhathazekile ngokuthi ngabe “izinkinga ezibanzi zamasiko” zigcwele yonke inkampani yini, kufaka phakathi ingcindezi yokusebenza okulungile kwe-OK ukuze kuhanjiswe izindiza ngesikhathi, kusho omunye umthombo utshele i-Seattle Times. Isitshalo saseNingizimu Carolina sakha amaphesenti angama-45 amaBoeing's 787s ngonyaka owedlule, kepha imodeli yaso enkulu -10 yakhiwe lapho kuphela.
Abashushisi basemkhankasweni wokuzingela “izimpawu zokukhwabanisa zakudala,” kusho umthombo, njengokuqamba amanga noma ukumelela kabi amakhasimende nabalawuli. Abasebenza ngokushaya impempe embonini yaseCharleston abakhombe imfucumfucu ngisho namathuluzi asele enjinini, eduze kwentambo, nakwezinye izindawo ezibucayi ezingadala izingqinamba zokusebenza batshele i-New York Times ukuthi bajeziswe ngabaphathi, futhi abaphathi babika ukuthi baduduliwe izindiza ziphume ngokushesha futhi zifihle ukubambezeleka.
I-737 MAX, nayo, kubikwa ukuthi iphuthunyiswe ukuyomaketha phakathi kwezindlela eziningi zokunquma ukushaya imodeli entsha eshisayo ye-Airbus. Okubi kakhulu wukuthi iFederal Aviation Administration kusolwa ukuthi ivumele iBoeing ukuthi iziphenye, kanti nabalawuli bamanye amazwe bathathe izitifiketi zokuphepha zase-US njengobufakazi bokuthi akudingeki ukuthi bazenzele amasheke abo, okuholela enhlekeleleni yeLion Air ne-Ethiopian Airlines Okthoba noMashi.
Uhlelo olubucayi lokulwa nomlilo e-Dreamliner lutholakale lungasebenzi ekuqaleni kwale nyanga, okuholele ekutheni iBoeing ikhiphe isexwayiso sokuthi iswishi eyenzelwe ukucisha imililo yezinjini ihlulekile "kokunye." Ngenkathi i-FAA ixwayisa ngokuthi "kungenzeka ukuthi umlilo wezindiza ungalawuleki," bakhethe ukungawubeki phansi ama-787s, kunalokho bayalela izinkampani zezindiza ukuthi zihlole ukuthi lo mshini usebenza zonke izinsuku ezingama-30.
Umhloli Jikelele we-DoJ noMnyango wezokuThutha bavule uphenyo lwabo ngeBoeing 737 MAX ngemuva kokushayiswa kwendiza yokuqala kwezimbili e-Indonesia ngo-Okthoba, kwashona wonke umuntu owayegibele; i-FBI yajoyina uphenyo ngoMashi ngemuva kokuthi indiza yesibili yehle e-Ethiopia ngaphansi kwezimo ezifanayo. Ibiza ukwethulwa kophenyo ngemuva kokuphahlazeka okukodwa “okungajwayelekile,” omunye wemithombo yakwaSeattle Times uphakamise ukuthi umuntu onolwazi lwangaphakathi eze nobufakazi bokuthi yini imbangela yokuphahlazeka, osekulandelwe amaphutha endizeni ebisendizeni ye-MCAS uhlelo lwekhompyutha.
U-Boeing akakabekwa cala ngobugebengu maqondana nokuphahlazeka, kepha amacala abhekene nenkampani, kufaka phakathi icala elilodwa lesenzo sabashayeli bezindiza abangaphezu kuka-400 abasola ukuthi le nkampani ifihle amaphutha ohlelweni lwayo lwe-MCAS, ayaqoqeka futhi nemiyalo yezindiza zayo yehle yacishe yafika njengoba izindiza ezindiza emhlabeni wonke zibeke i-737 MAX ezinyangeni ezintathu ezedlule. Ngasekuqaleni kwenyanga, i-FAA ithole "izingozi ezingaba khona" ezingaphezulu okumele zilungiswe ngaphambi kokuthi i-737 MAX ibuyele ezindizeni.
