Boeing's reputation is at risk following fatal crashes, but the company has overcome crises before
Boeing Co.’s 737 airplanes are the best-selling commercial aircraft of all time and have been a backbone of commercial aviation for many years.
“We live in an age where everyone expects answers immediately, and that’s not how aviation safety works at all,” said aviation consultant George Hamlin. Boeing’s reputation will suffer, but such issues tend to be fleeting for the general population, the families of the victims excepted, said aviation consultant Robert Mann. Boeing was said to be a few weeks away from introducing software and system changes to the aircraft stemming from findings made in the Lion Air crash.
Moreover, the 737 program, by virtue of being Boeing’s biggest seller, has financed other programs at the company, Papiomytis said. That also gave the planes a leg-up on maintenance and logistics, as the engines were easier to reach. The 737s were also one of the first planes that could be flown by two pilots rather than two pilots and a flight engineer.The aircraft is an ideal single-aisle plane for many destinations, a workhorse not too small to make the cost too high, and not too big that it would be too low.
