This would require a new vision, perhaps new leadership.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Boeing shares fell last week to their lowest level in nearly a year and a half after the U.S. aircraft maker posted quarterly losses, disclosed $2.7 billion in charges and added costs and expressed doubts about meeting 737 MAX delivery targets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em><strong>\u2192 <a href=\"https:\/en\/2022\/04\/virgin-australia-to-add-4-boeing-737-max-8-jets.html\">Virgin Australia to add 4 Boeing 737 MAX 8 jets.<\/a><\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Boeing also announced it was halting production of the 777X until 2023 and did not specify when it would resume deliveries of its key 787 Dreamliner twin-aisle model.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;They are burning cash at an unprecedented level,&#8221; Slattery said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Boeing&#8217;s culture has become &#8220;totally twisted,&#8221; but that the problems could eventually be resolved. I have faith that they will work it out,&#8221; Slattery added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"related-topics\">Related Topics<\/h2>\n\n\n\n\t\t\t<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-post-grid
