The Daily's Verdict

This author has a mixed reputation for journalistic standards. It is advisable to fact-check, scrutinize for bias, and check for conflicts of interest before relying on the author's reporting.

Bias

75%

Examples:

  • The article uses sensationalism and emotional manipulation by stating that this would be a 'major strategic move for 737 maker', implying that it will have significant consequences on the company's future.
  • The author implies that Boeing's response to the quality lapses is a strategic move when it has not been stated as such by any official from Boeing or its executives.

Conflicts of Interest

50%

Examples:

  • Boeing is in preliminary talks to buy Spirit AeroSystems
  • Spirit AeroSystems is the second largest customer for Airbus and it is unlikely that Boeing would be able hold onto its part of the business were it to reacquire Spirit.
  • Spirit has had its own series of quality control issues in recent years, including problems with five rivets done by Spirit AeroSystems which led to a door plug blowout on an Alaska Airlines flight.

Contradictions

85%

Examples:

  • Boeing executives are facing questions about how accident and added scrutiny from FAA could affect certification timeline for Max 7 and Max 10 models of the company's bestselling planes.
  • Boeing reaffirmed its financial targets for 2025 and 2026, but CEO said now is not the time for that.
  • The Boeing 737 Max is the company's bestselling plane. A delay to production increases could hamper financial targets and affect suppliers that have been preparing for higher output as well as customers counting on new planes to cater to post-Covid travel demand
