That’s one of the findings in a report presented Monday to the Federal Aviation Administration. The experts say that when it comes to safety, there is a “disconnect” between Boeing’s senior management and workers.

Safety at Boeing is being re-examined after last month’s blowout of an emergency door panel on an Alaska Airlines jet.
