Two fatal crashes. Quality concerns and production slowdowns. A loose panel that blew out during a flight. Boeing is an American institution that has contributed to the country’s place on the global stage. But it is also weathering a particularly difficult period.
As business reporters at The New York Times, we have for years been covering Boeing and concerns over the quality of the planes it makes. We are planning more stories about the company’s future, its competitive position against its European rival Airbus, employee morale and whether enough is being done to improve quality and prevent incidents like the one this year in which a panel was ripped off a 737 Max 9 plane during an Alaska Airlines flight.
We want to hear from people who work — or have worked — at Boeing or at companies, government agencies or other organizations that deal with Boeing about what the company is doing wrong or right. Tell us about your experiences below.
We will not publish any part of your submission without following up with you again to get your permission. Tips are most useful when we can follow up with the people who submit them, but we also have secure ways to send confidential tips anonymously if you prefer.
