Boeing under a microscope for safety issues as it reports results

When Boeing CEO Dave Calhoun delivers the company's fourth-quarter results on Wednesday, he will be doing it while the planemaker is in the middle of its biggest safety crisis since the two fatal 737 MAX crashes in 2018 and 2019. The company, long a symbol of America's manufacturing prowess, is in the crosshairs of regulators, politicians and airlines following a harrowing mid-air cabin panel blowout on a passenger-filled 737 MAX 9 jet operated by Alaska Airlines earlier this month. Analysts say Boeing leaders will be trying to assure people that the company's focus is on aircraft safety and production quality.
