FAA Proposes $1.25M Fine For Boeing

Boeing faces a $1.25 million fine for pressuring employees to expedite safety inspections at a South Carolina factory between 2017 and 2019. The FAA sent an enforcement letter after allegations of harassment and retaliation against a safety manager. Boeing claims to have investigated and reported the issues to the FAA, taking corrective actions. Critics argue that relying on manufacturers for safety work is akin to self-regulation, prompting potential changes in Congress. Boeing has 30 days to respond, with possibilities of negotiating the fine.
