Tough Times for the CEO

He also prepares to appear before Congress on Oct 30 as Boeing is a critical player in the US-China negotiating deals.

Global grounding After Crashes
The Boeing planes have face worldwide grounding as the aftermath. The recertification of the aircraft will happen soon after the aircraft passes a crucial test flight. The test is not yet scheduled by the US regulators, though.
A Discouraging Report by Experts
A review panel of the aviation experts presented a discouraging assessment of the steps taken by the company. The report also charged US Federal administration for messing up in the way it certified and developed the Max from Boeing.
Reportedly, the company pressurized its employees having FDA authority to approve design modifications. It also charges regulators for undermining the rules and lack of skills and measures to be able to vet the changes in the design. The report was scathing, as it attributed flawed design changes responsible for two fatal air crashes.
The Decider
Boeing CEO has some testing times ahead in the coming months, and the recertification would play a pivotal role in deciding whether he stays or has to leave.
