As reported, \u2064Boeing dismantled its global diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) department\u2063 and reassigned its resources to\u2063 more critical organizational areas. \u200dThis restructuring followed the departure of former CEO \u2062Dave Calhoun, who \u200dfaced substantial issues related to\u200b safety within the company due to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/chinese-spy-balloon-revelations-leave-us-with-two-scary-scenarios\/\" title=\"Chinese Spy Balloon Revelations Leave us With Two Scary Scenarios\">previous incidents involving<\/a> the 737 MAX jetliners.<\/p>\n<p>The new CEO, Kelly Ortberg, aims to refocus Boeing on its core\u2063 competency of\u200b aircraft manufacturing, seemingly at the expense of diversity initiatives. This \u200ddecision appears to align with the company&#8217;s need to bolster its reputation amidst growing scrutiny over safety \u200cconcerns, particularly \u200binvolving recent malfunctions and\u200c <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/the-fda-has-just-released-an-update-on-medication-shortages\/\" title=\"The FDA Has Just Released an Update on Medication Shortages\">quality control problems<\/a> with their aircraft.<\/p>\n<p>Boeing\u2063 has\u200b <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/bob-barker-beloved-host-of-the-price-is-right-dead-at-99\/\" title=\"Bob Barker, adored &#039;The Price Is Right&#039; host, passes away at 99.\">faced\u200c numerous challenges<\/a>, including in-flight failures and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/rocker-bassinets-recalled-over-infant-strangulation-suffocation-fall-hazards\/\" title=\"Rocker bassinets recalled due to risks of infant strangulation, suffocation, falls.\">safety \u2063warnings<\/a>\u2062 from the National Transportation Safety \u200bBoard regarding \u200bissues with the 737 models. The situation is aggravated by concerns surrounding the Boeing Starliner capsule, which was rejected as a return vessel\u2062 due to \u2062safety doubts.<\/p>\n<p>The\u200b overall context suggests that Boeing \u200cis pivoting toward \u200benhancing operational performance and addressing its safety track\u200d record, while also adapting to changes under the\u2064 new\u200b political landscape in\u200d the United States.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<section> \t\t\t\t<script>console.log(\"ad slot (AC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC2)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC3)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC4)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (REP_0)\")<\/script><\/p>\n<p>Leadership at the beleaguered Boeing Company forced a major shakeup shortly before President-elect Donald Trump&rsquo;s victory on Election Day, hinting the aerospace giant will have new priorities under the incoming administration.<\/p>\n<p>On Oct. 31, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/boeing-737-destroyed-fire-emergency-landing\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Boeing<\/a> quietly dismantled its global diversity, equity and inclusion department and shuffled the resources to more critical parts of the company, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bloomberg.com\/news\/articles\/2024-10-31\/boeing-dismantles-diversity-team-as-pressure-builds-on-new-ceo\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Bloomberg<\/a> reported.<\/p>\n<p>Sara Liang Bowen, a vice president who headed the DEI department, left the company that same day,<\/p>\n<p>Staff from the dissolved DEI team will be shuffled around to other parts of the company.<\/p>\n<p>The push for diversity came under former CEO Dave Calhoun, who stepped down in August.<\/p>\n<p> <script type=\"text\/javascript\"> \t\t\tif ( getCookie( \"ff_subbed\" ) ) { \t\t\t\tdocument.getElementById(\"stnvideo\").remove() \t\t\t} \t\t<\/script> <\/p>\n<p>When Calhoun originally took leadership of the company in 2020 safety was already a primary problem for the company.

The move, while likely not intended for this purpose, also goes a little ways in insulating the company from some of Trump&rsquo;s potential criticism.<\/p>\n<p>The broader context of the move can&rsquo;t be ignored.<\/p>\n<p>Boeing planes have been plagued by quality control, maintenance and other issues in recent years. Failures of the company&rsquo;s passenger jets, often in mid-flight, have been a not-uncommon feature in recent headlines, as well.<\/p>\n<p>On Oct. 3, an engine on a Boeing 737-800 burst into flame while the jet was taking off from Italy&rsquo;s Aeroporti di Puglia.<\/p>\n<p>The plane was able to come to a relatively safe stop as passengers evacuated with the help of an inflatable slide.<\/p>\n<p>Days before this incident, the National Transportation Safety Board issued an urgent warning about Boeing&rsquo;s 737NG and 737MAX.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;The National Transportation Safety Board Thursday issued urgent safety recommendations to The Boeing Company and the Federal Aviation Administration in response to the potential for a jammed or restricted rudder control system on some 737 airplanes,&rdquo; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ntsb.gov\/news\/press-releases\/Pages\/NR20240926.aspx\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">a Sept. 26 news release<\/a> by the NTSB read.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;Investigators found evidence of moisture in both actuators, which failed testing.
