Boeing is under heightened scrutiny after a series of safety incidents, including a mid-flight blowout on an Alaska Airlines 737 Max 9, prompting the FAA to issue a safety alert and recommend inspections of the 737 models. United Airlines, one of Boeing's largest customers, has expressed a loss of confidence in the planemaker and predicts a first-quarter adjusted loss of 35 cents to 85 cents per share due to the grounding of the 737 Max 9 planes. Despite this, United has reported its busiest travel period in history at the end of December, flying an average of 483,000 customers each day. CEO Scott Kirby has criticized Boeing's handling of the Max 9 grounding and indicated that United is reevaluating its reliance on Boeing's 737 Max 10 jets. Boeing CEO Dave Calhoun is scheduled to meet with U.S. senators, and the company has issued a bulletin to suppliers emphasizing the importance of proper bolt tightening after reports of loose parts. Additionally, Boeing has planned a 'quality stand down' to halt 737 production for a day to address quality concerns.
