Or,has yesterdays announcement from the FAA regarding “findings” on the 900er, justifiably tipped him over the edge so to speak .
If the latter is true, when will we learn more about these findings and why is the 900er deemed ok while the MAX is not?***
*** Yes, I know that the max had a door blow off and the 900er did not, but that surely is not the distinction here.
I think it's an evolving situation where the AS C-suite learning how deep the turd pile is as they go along, with a lot of competing priorities: safety, relationships with vendors, customers, government bodies and shareholders, plus a heapin' helpin' of litigation potential.
As such, I don't expect a CEO to be as candid with the public as they are internally (having gotten some briefings from a Fortune 500 company's C-suite personally where it's "please do not publicly discuss what we're discussing here, and we have limited things we're going to say publicly right now.")
The fact that AS"s position on fleet plans and Boeing as a supplier seems to be evolving right now before our eyes is just not surprising, all things considered. So let it evolve.
