"FAA Urges Boeing to Address Safety Concerns Amid Production Woes"

TL;DR
The Federal Aviation Administration has warned Boeing that it must prioritize safety over mass production following a series of safety issues, including a recent incident where a door plug on a 737-Max 9 jet blew out. The FAA found that Boeing's culture emphasizes mass production over safety standards, leading to gaps in the manufacturing process and quality assurance issues. Boeing has been given 90 days to develop a plan to improve its culture and practices to meet FAA standards, with the FAA chief stating that Boeing must make safe airplanes or face production limitations.
