Panel: Airplane maker Boeing faces a host of challenges
Listen now
Description
After a strike lasting more than seven weeks, factory workers at Boeing have voted to accept a contract offer and are now getting back to work. The offer would deliver these machinists a 38% wage increase over four years. But ending the strike is just the beginning for the troubled U.S. aerospace giant as it aims to regain public confidence damaged by two fatal crashes, and return to profitability. How did Boeing end up where it is now? What went wrong in its relations with regulators? Host Liu Kun is joined by Yang Chunsheng, Senior Engineer at Aviation Industry Corporation of China (AVIC) International; Dr. Doug Drury, Professor and Head of Aviation at Central Queensland University; Captain David Newbery, former Check & Training Captain with Cathay Pacific and former President of HK Airline Pilots Association; Einar Tangen, Senior Fellow at Taihe Institute.
