He apologizes to the families and friends of the victims and accepts blame for the two plane crashes.  He also assures they have the fix.

"We own It" is the 2019 quality pledge all employees had to sign just days ago. This video could say nothing less. Even though word is coming out that  the Ethiopian crash had other contributing factors including a possible bird strike that damaged one of the two AOA sensor. And that the pilot turned off ECAS as he should, but turned it back again.  Like one investigator said early on, "That there is never a single cause to these accidents".

The CEO does say in the video that usually a "chain reaction of events" causes a crash.  He went on to say that Boeing knows how to break one of the links in the chain @NavyCanDo

Domestically the MAX was flown 400 times a day without an accident., adding up to hundreds of thousands of flights already. The Ethiopian pilot did the right thing at first, reaching down by his right leg at with two switches off ECAS and then doing a couple of things with the yoke, and has back in control. For some reason the flight recorder shows, he turned ECAS back on.

The software update will prevent this from happening in the future, I have no doubt, but the planes should be alloud to fly with the directive ECAS needs to be turned off until the the software is approved by the FAA, and it has been updated. This grounding is not just hurting Boeing, which now is reducing the production from 52 737s  a month to 42, but it's also hurting the airlines who are not earning revenue from the parked planes.

Tough to remove the hold @NavyCanDo when the CEO says they're "working on" the fix.  Wouldn't it need to be thoroughly tested --- with a training manual --- before the plane filled with passengers is returned to the sky?
