Boeing is suspected of fraud with visas for engineers from Russia

US senator demands to check the legality of trips to the US by Russian Boeing engineers. Their salaries are three times lower than those of Americans. But they travel to Seattle to “study” so often that a US union suspects Boeing of fraudulently using foreign labor.

“Boeing should be careful to follow the letter of the law when hiring Russian engineers to work in Everett,” writes on Friday in editorial column of the Seattle Times.

Boeing’s assembly plant is located in Everett, Washington, USA. The state of Washington itself has the largest number of engineers per capita in the United States, and Boeing is the city-forming enterprise of Seattle. And many here are beginning to worry about too many top-notch specialists from Russia.

In late April, Iowa Senator Chuck Grassley formally requested Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and Secretary of Homeland Security Janet Napolitano that Boeing use B-1 visas for Russian engineers.

These are visitor visas for short-term business trips.

The basis for the letter was the publication of the Seattle Times on April 14 of this year. Edition talked about the incident , which occurred in the fall of 2011.

In October, 18 engineers from Russia, employees of Moscow’s Boeing Design Center, who arrived in Seattle on a business trip from Boeing for a period of two to three months, were sent back to Moscow by US Customs and Border Protection.

For some of those who arrived in that group, the trip to Seattle was the seventh in the last four years, the publication claims. All arrivals were issued B-1 visas.

According to the official version, they came to the USA for retraining. “This is true, but not all,” the border guards suspected. In their opinion, in reality, engineers from Russia came to Seattle “for on-the-job training,” that is, they actually worked in the United States on a visitor visa. The Seattle Times was able to get acquainted with the protocols of interrogations of Russian citizens: some of them confirmed that they “would be doing the same work for Boeing in the United States as in Moscow. ”

After this incident, the corporation for some time suspended the practice of inviting engineers from the Moscow center. But it was a short-term victory for the Aerospace Engineers Union of America (SPEEA). SPEEA has long been dissatisfied with the Boeing design center in Russia (opened at 1998), where about 1.5 thousand employees work on the products of the corporation, receiving salaries no higher than one third of the rate of similar specialists in the United States.

But the union is even more outraged by the “lots of Russian engineers replacing each other at the Boeing headquarters”.

The union insists that if the corporation wants to attract Russian employees, they need to apply for an h2B work visa. Foreigners on such a visa can work in the United States for up to six years, they pay taxes to the American budget, but they also receive the same money and benefits from the employer as Boeing employees with similar qualifications with American citizenship. Finally, Boeing must prove to the federal authorities that foreign specialists are necessary for corporations and do not deprive American engineers of their jobs.

A few weeks after the October incident, Boeing “returned to business as usual,” according to the Seattle Times. In December, Russian engineers began to arrive in Seattle again without any problems with the federal authorities. According to the union, from December 2011 to March 2012, about 250 Russian engineers visited the United States at the invitation of Boeing. “At least it is less than it used to be,” the newspaper writes. – In mid-March, there were 75 engineers in Everett, while in September last year there were 190″.

Senator Grassley is now asking the Department of Homeland Security to review Boeing’s practice of employing Russian workers.

Grassley recalls that in the state of Alabama last year there was already a similar story with the issuance of a B-1 visa to an employee of the Indian company HCL Infosystems (collaborates with Microsoft Corporation). “Perhaps a similar scheme is working at Boeing,” the senator said. He suggests checking how many B-1 visas have been issued at the request of Boeing over the past five years and how many times the same 18 engineers expelled to Russia in October 2011 have been to the United States.

Boeing dismisses all suspicions of visa fraud, insisting that visits by employees of the Moscow design center to the US are a necessary part of the corporation’s international work.

The Boeing Design Center in Moscow has taken part in more than 250 projects of the corporation, and since 2000, in all programs of the Boeing Civil Aircraft Company, including the Boeing 787 Dreamliner.

“30% of the drawings of the largest nose part of the fuselage were made by Russian engineers at the Boeing design center, a large number of wing mechanization elements, a third of the pylon – a beam on which the engine is mounted, engine nacelles,” said Sergey Kravchenko, Boeing President for Russia and the CIS, earlier . According to Boeing estimates, about a third of the engineering projects for the Boeing 787 aircraft have been completed by the specialists of the Moscow center; the level of participation in the development of other types of Boeing aircraft is from 30% to 40%.

How much do Americans earn on average in engineering positions

Specialties of this kind require a higher engineering education and sufficient work experience. The salary of an engineer in the USA is quite high when compared with many other professions. But what are the features of this kind of activity and how much does an engineer in America get? Now we’ll find out.

Who is an engineer and how to become one

Engineers design, build, and maintain the functional aspects of a product, structure, or system. Their specific job description addresses all of the detailed tasks, responsibilities, skills, and educational requirements that a company or organization requires for their engineering specialty. For example, electrical engineers design, control, and test electrical systems.

Civil engineers design, build and maintain major infrastructure such as highways, bridges and airports.

Many engineers start their careers with apprenticeships or internships while they are still in college and then move on to entry-level positions. As they learn more about the industry, more experienced professionals are given their own projects and more responsibility.

Job Responsibilities

While each field of engineering requires a unique set of job responsibilities, there are a specific set of duties and responsibilities for all engineering professions. All engineers should work to improve design and functionality to achieve more efficient and productive results in their projects. They conduct research, test projects, and report their progress to superiors.

If problems arise, the engineer works to develop an effective solution. It can be mechanical, structural, chemical or software, depending on the field of activity. Most engineers also need to be proficient in software (computer-aided design) to develop their designs.

What education is required?

To apply for an engineering position, you need to earn a bachelor’s degree (similar to our university diploma) in the engineering field in which you want to develop. Many engineers earn a master’s or doctoral degree in order to do research work or gain a position in academia.

Aspiring engineers need to earn a degree from an ABET-accredited college.

The specific specialty should be focused on the area in which you want to work. For example, to become a mechanical engineer, you will need a bachelor’s degree in mechanical engineering. Professional certification is not required for most positions, but earning a certification can improve your chances in the job market: after all, the average engineer salary in the US depends, among other things, on additional skills, knowledge and their confirmation.

Basic Requirements

Engineer candidates have a wide variety of requirements, which depend on the specific industry and tasks being solved. However, in general, the following is required of the individual:

• He must have a Bachelor of Science degree in electrical, mechanical, computer or related engineering.
• Experience with Microsoft Office Suite (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and Project).
• Requires BSCE or BSCET.
• Listening and communication skills, the ability to convey plans, thoughts and reasoned arguments to teammates.
• Problem-solving skills, especially the ability to identify the source of difficulties and create and test solutions.

Engineer salary

As of May 2021, the average engineer salary in America is about $73,500 per year. This equates to approximately $35.35 an hour, $1,414 a week, or $6,127 a month (excluding taxes).

Website https://www.ziprecruiter.com reports run-up. According to him, engineers in the US earn between $19,000 and $134,500. Most engineer salaries currently range from $53,500 to $84,500. The highest paid employees (the 10% richest) earn $108,000 per year ($9,000 per month).

The average salary range for an engineer varies greatly. This speaks to the many opportunities for promotion and salary increase, which may depend on the level of qualification, place of residence and work experience.

What is the average salary of an engineer by state

An engineer’s salary in the US can differ in significance from where the specialist lives and works. The table provides a list of states with the highest annual average earnings in the engineering industry. An average value was taken for different positions, including electrical engineers, designers, designers, builders, and others.

How much does a Civil Engineer make in USA?

As of September 2021, the average annual salary for a civil engineer in the US was about $89,500 per year. That’s about $43 an hour, $1,721 a week, or $7,457 a month. As we can see, the income in this industry is quite decent.

Software for the Boeing-737 Max was written by outsourcers earning $9 per hour / Sudo Null IT News , children’s mistakes in software development, which led to two disasters with human casualties. Engineers who have been with the company for years say development has been made more difficult by delegating work to low-paid contractors.

Software flaws could leave planes chained to the ground for another month – U.S. regulators found additional problems this week. The software for the 737-Max series was written at a time when Boeing was laying off experienced engineers and putting pressure on suppliers.

What’s more, the American aircraft icon and its subcontractors trusted temporary workers earning as little as $9 an hour to develop and test their software. Often, these were workers from countries with an undeveloped aircraft industry, namely from India.

“Yesterday’s graduates, hired by the Indian software company HCL Technologies Ltd, occupy several rows of desks in the offices of Boeing Field in Seattle , says Mark Rabin, a former Boeing engineer who worked on the 737-Max series test team.

HCL encoders are usually designed according to specifications sent from Boeing. But, according to Rabin, “this is a controversial decision, as it is much less effective than just letting Boeing engineers write the code.” He recalls that “often it was necessary to redo everything several times, because the code was written incorrectly.”

The support of Indian companies may have had other benefits as well. Over the past few years, Boeing has won several tenders to supply military and commercial aircraft to India, such as a $22 billion contract for SpiceJet Ltd. This contract includes 100 737-Max 8 aircraft and is the largest order in the history of Indian Airlines, which has traditionally worked with Airbus.

According to findings posted on social media, engineers from HCL were involved in the development and testing of PFD (Primary flight display) software, while employees from another Indian company, Cyient Ltd., were engaged in software for control and measuring instruments intended for flight tests.

Expensive delay

In one post, an HCL employee described his job responsibilities this way: “Quickly made a crutch to solve a problem in production and not delay the flight tests of the 737-Max (delaying each flight costs Boeing a huge amount).”

Boeing says it did not trust engineers from HCL and Cyient to develop MCAS (Maneuvering Characteristics Augmentation System), which is associated with the crash of Lion Air flight JT-610 near Jakarta in October 2018 and Ethiopian Airlines flight ET302 near Addis Ababa in March 2019. Also, according to Boeing, none of these companies is associated with a problem found after the crashes – a warning light in the cockpit that most buyers do not work.

“Boeing has years of experience working with suppliers and partners around the world,” says a company spokesman. “Our main goal is to always be sure that our products are safe, of the highest quality and performed according to all the rules. ”

In turn, HCL, in an official statement, states that “it has a strong and long-standing business relationship with Boeing and is proud of the work that the company has done for its customers. However, HCL does not comment on what kind of work it was. HCL is in no way related to the current issues with the 737 Max.”

Recent tests on the emulator by the US Federal Aviation Administration revealed that the problems with the software lie at a deeper level. The company’s shares have tumbled this week after regulators discovered a problem with a chip that delayed critical responses when it was overloaded with requests.

Development of the 737 Max began 8 years ago, and the engineers who worked on it complained about pressure from management. There have been demands to limit changes that potentially create additional costs.

“Boeing has done everything you can think of to cut costs, including moving development out of Puget Sound because it’s too expensive,” says Rick Ludtke, a former flight test engineer who was fired in 2017. “You can understand this if you look at the situation from a business point of view. Gradually, over time, it turned out that this weakened the ability of Puget Sound engineers to design.”

Mark Rabin, a former programmer fired in 2015, recalls how one of the managers at the general meeting said that Boeing does not need seniors, as their products are already quite mature. “I was shocked that in a room filled with a couple of hundred mostly senior engineers, we are being told in all seriousness that we are not needed…”

outsourced most of the work to suppliers who simply follow detailed drawings.

Since the launch of the 787 Dreamliner in 2004, Boeing has sought to increase profits by providing high-level specifications instead of drawings and then asking suppliers to design the parts themselves. The idea was “they’re the experts, you know, and they’ll take care of these things for us,” says Frank McCormick, a former flight test engineer who later worked as a consultant for regulators and manufacturers. “It was just stupid.”

Sales are another reason for moving work abroad. In return for an $11 billion contract signed with Air India in 2005, Boeing pledged to invest $1.7 billion in Indian companies. This, of course, was a boon for HCL, Cyient, and other companies whose programmers were widely used in the computer industry but not yet in the aircraft industry.

Rockwell Collins, a manufacturer of aircraft cockpit electronics, was one of the first aircraft companies to outsource much of its work to India, where, beginning in 2000, HCL began testing their software. By 2010, HCL employed more than 400 people working on software development and testing for Rockwell Collins from offices in Chennai and Bangalore.

In the same year, Boeing, in conjunction with HCL, opened a so-called “center of excellence” in Chennai, stating that the companies would collaborate “to create critical flight test software.” In 2011, Boeing added Cyient (then known as Infotech) to its “Supplier of the Year” list for the design, testing and software development of the 787 and 747-8 at another facility in Hyderabad.

Boeing’s competitors also rely in part on outsourcers. In addition to sales support (as mentioned above), aircraft companies claim that distributed design teams are more efficient because they work around the clock. But outsourcing has long been a sore point for some Boeing engineers, who, in addition to fear of losing their jobs, say it has led to team communication issues and bugs.

Moscow mistakes

Boeing has also expanded its design center in Moscow. In 2008, during a meeting with the chief engineer in charge of the Boeing 787, one of the employees complained that he sent drawings to the team in Russia 18 times before they realized that the smoke detectors had to be connected to the electrical system, Cynthia Cole said ( Cynthia Cole, former Boeing engineer who led the engineering union from 2006 to 2010.

“Design has become a cheap commodity,” adds Vance Hilderman, co-founder of TekSci, a contract engineering firm that began to lose orders to overseas competitors in the 2000s.

According to Hilderman, a security engineer with thirty years of experience whose recent clients include major Boeing suppliers, US avionics companies have moved more than 30% of their software development overseas over the past few years, compared to just 10% European companies.

Strong dollar was the key to the attractiveness of this model. Engineers in India used to make about $5 an hour, now it’s $9 or $10, compared to $35-40 for those in the US on an h2B visa, Hilderman adds. But he explains to his clients that the low price per hour is really costing them $80 due to the need for control, and says that his firm is partially returning customers who need to fix bugs.

HCL, formerly known as Hindustan Computers, was founded in 1976 by billionaire Shiv Nadar and has annual sales of over $8.6 billion. According to company vice president Sukamal Banerjee, HCL is a global company with 18,000 employees in the US and 15,000 in Europe, and has vast experience in the field of computing. And won the order from Boeing for this very reason, and not at all because of the price. He bluntly states, “We have a lot of experience in R&D.”

However, with the 787, HCL charged Boeing a wonderful price—no charge, according to Sam Swaro, an assistant vice president who offered HCL services at a San Diego conference hosted by Avionics International magazine in June. . He said the company took no upfront payments for the 787 and began billing only based on sales a few years later, an “innovative business model” that he suggested extending to other companies in the industry.

The Boeing 787 entered service in 2011, three years late, and billions of dollars over budget, due in part to confusion caused by an outsourcing strategy. Led by Dennis Muilenburg, a longtime Boeing engineer who became CEO in 2015, the company said it plans to take back much of the work on its latest aircraft.

Engineering swamp

The Boeing-737 Max became a top seller shortly after it was announced in 2011. But for ambitious engineers, it was a bit of a swamp, says Peter Lemme, who designed the autopilot for the Boeing 767 and is now a consultant. The Boeing 737 Max was a 50-year-old design update, and the changes had to be limited enough that Boeing could churn out new planes like hot cakes, with little change for assembly lines or airlines. “For an engineer, this is not the best job,” Lemm added.

Rockwell Collins, now a division of United Technologies Corp, won the contract to supply cockpit displays for the 737 Max and relied on HCL engineers based in India, Iowa and Seattle. A spokesman for United Technologies declined to comment on the situation.

Contract engineers from Cyient assisted with flight test equipment. Charles LoveJoy, a former Boeing employee, said US engineers had to double-check blueprints made in India at night at 7:30 every morning. “We had problems with the Indian team. They met the requirements, but we could have done better.”

Multiple investigations, including a criminal investigation by the US Department of Justice, are trying to figure out how and when critical decisions were made regarding the 737 Max software. During the Lion Air and Ethiopian Airlines crashes that killed 346 people, MCAS pushed the planes into an uncontrolled dive due to poor data from one sensor, investigators say.

According to Lemm, this design violates the basic principles of redundancy that have been inviolable for several generations of Boeing engineers. Apparently no one ever tested how the software would react in a given situation. “It was a resounding failure,” he said. “Not one person, but many people should have thought about this problem.”

Boeing also reported that shortly after deliveries of the 737-Max began in 2017, they discovered that a warning light that could have alerted the crew to a sensor problem was misconfigured in the flight display software. Boeing’s May statement explaining why the company didn’t inform regulators in time, says engineers have decided it’s not a safety issue.

“The general management of the company,” the statement says, “did not participate in this review. ”

From the translator: after reading the article, I stopped being surprised by the situation in my industry (e-commerce). If there is such a mess with processes in the industrial giants responsible for human lives, then what to talk about in smaller offices. Well, I’ll add that Bloomberg, of course, distorts (there was such an impression), since their task is hype and views, so what is written must be divided by two.

Salaries of pilots and nationality of employees: the head of the Aviation Administration responded to criticism: June 22, 2021, 15:16

Director General of the Aviation Administration of Kazakhstan Peter Griffiths in an interview with Tengrinews.kz responded to the criticism of Senator Talgat Musabayev and announced the salaries of domestic and foreign pilots.

Earlier, Talgat Mussabayev criticized the transfer of the state function of control over the safety of civil flights in Kazakhstan to a commercial entity headed by a foreigner. We have collected the most high-profile statements of the astronaut senator and asked Peter Griffiths to comment on them.

According to Griffiths, in 2020 he and Musabaev met to discuss the crash of a Bek Air plane. However, according to Griffiths, the meeting ended “not very well.”

Citizenship of employees AAK

“In Kazakhstan, by law, state functions for certification, supervision and control in aviation are assigned to the authorized state body – the Civil Aviation Committee of the Ministry of Industry and Infrastructure Development. However, in fact, these state functions are transferred by internal documents to a commercial entity – Aviation Administration of Kazakhstan JSC.”

Important state functions of certification, supervision and control in the aviation of our country have been transferred to a foreign citizen. The leadership of the so-called Aviation Administration of Kazakhstan today includes a citizen of Britain and a deputy – a citizen of the United States. Where are the citizens of Kazakhstan?” the senator was indignant at a meeting of the chamber during the discussion of the government report on June 17.

British citizen Peter Griffiths has been Director General of the Aviation Administration since August 2019years, i.e. since the establishment of the department.

“I am an engineer and systems control engineer by profession. I spent 10 years in marine engineering, in 1996 I moved to work in the police. I flew first on small planes and later on Boeing. I switched from Boeing to Airbus. I also dealt with technical flight issues. I have a master’s degree in risk management and air crash management. I also took a course in aviation accident investigation at Cranfield University. At the end of the course, I taught students myself,” Griffiths said.

According to him, hiring foreign specialists to improve civil aviation is a common practice in the world.

“When I worked in the European Union, I represented France and Germany. I represented the United States when I took part in the NASA investigation. When I was Regional Vice President at IATA ( International Air Transport Association ), I worked on a project with Aeroflot” and on the development of Sheremetyevo Airport. I was a representative of Saudi Arabia, China, Ireland, this is a normal practice,” he said.

His first deputy is US citizen Linda Orlady. She is a third generation pilot and has led a team of pilots, technicians and flight safety specialists.

“ There are only two foreigners in our company, the remaining 152 employees are Kazakhs . Foreigners who come to us in AAK temporarily are either consultants or conduct some kind of training. They all note the professionalism of Kazakhstani employees.

As the head of the organization, I want a citizen of Kazakhstan to take my place in three years, when I leave, and be able to ensure the successful functioning of the AAK. The country has certain needs, and I know that if we weren’t doing our job, we wouldn’t be here anymore,” Griffiths said.

Griffiths acknowledged that foreign employees in the AAC – a temporary measure.

“The only thing I agree with the senator is that a Kazakhstani should be at the head of the regulator. Pilots and controllers must be Kazakh. But this won’t happen overnight. Recognition at the international level will not come immediately either. My contract is valid until September 27, 2023. I believe that by this time we will be able to prepare a local specialist for me to replace.

But before that, we need to pass the ICAO audit. If we don’t pass the audit, I’ll have to stay and achieve all my goals. The ICAO audit will enable Kazakh airlines to organize regular flights to Europe. Today, only Air Astana has such permission. We are planning to make Kazakhstan an aviation center for the whole of Central Asia. Kazakhstan has every opportunity for this,” he said.

Qualification of employees AAK

“On aviation issues, the leaders are people who not only have never worked in aviation, but also have no education, even secondary and higher education. These leaders who do not have education, probably never read Krylov’s fable about a monkey, a donkey , a goat and a clubfoot bear. And you, friends, no matter how you sit down, you are all unsuitable for musicians. It’s not enough to talk, you need to have certain special knowledge, “Musabayev said at a meeting of the chamber during a discussion of the government report on June 17.

Griffiths assured that all AAK workers have the best education.

“I am very sorry that such a respected person as Talgat Mussabayev says such hurtful things to people who came to help your country achieve world-class aviation. (…) We take people from different fields, because it will not be quite it is logical to hire only pilots and send them, for example, to the licensing department . All the people who work in the licensing department are qualified and know their job. Not only I say this, it is also confirmed by ICAO and the European Union,” he assured.

Griffiths added that AAK employees are constantly being trained, for example, now some of the employees are taking a licensing course in Tunisia.

“These people are graduates of the Bolashak scholarship. That is, they cannot be called people without a secondary education. Highly qualified people work for us,” he said.

Salaries of pilots in Kazakhstan

Pilots and aircraft commanders in Kazakhstan earn much less than their counterparts in developed countries. Both Griffiths and Musabayev agree with this.

“Why is the flight crew from local people – citizens of Kazakhstan not a priority in the appointment of aircraft commanders? Foreign citizens are involved, they are paid two to three times higher salaries than our specialist pilots . This has been going on for many years. To me pilots come up during my flights, when I fly as a passenger,” Musabayev was indignant earlier.

According to Peter Griffiths, this is because licenses issued to crews in Kazakhstan are not recognized abroad.

“ The salary of Kazakh pilots varies from 6,000 to 8,000 dollars a month . as mobile as crews in other countries

There are several Kazakh pilots who fly in Europe as well. But they got licenses in the UK, so they have the opportunity to fly abroad. That is, even if they get a job in a Kazakh airline, they will receive a salary on a par with foreign pilots,” Griffiths explained.

However, he explained that the pilots’ salaries are included in the airfare. So with an increase in the salary of the crew of an aircraft, the price of flights for citizens will increase.

When ex-pilots are hired by the AAC, Griffiths says they try to make sure they get paid the same salary they got when they flew. Therefore, the salary of specialists in the administration varies from 2.5 to 6 thousand dollars.

Before the pandemic, 2,669 pilots worked in the country, of which 193 were foreigners. During the quarantine period, 157 foreign pilots were sent home due to the suspension of flights.

“Foreign pilots in Kazakhstan’s salary varies depending on the market rate. From 7 to 15 thousand dollars a month, depending on the task . In order to hire highly qualified specialists, we must give them the appropriate salary. Market, not state-established. Therefore when we hire pilots, we charge average, not the highest wages,” Griffiths replied.

Will Kazakhstan be able to completely replace foreign pilots with Kazakhs? According to the head of the AAC, this is not entirely appropriate.

“Kazakhstan provides training for its specialists. For example, Air Astana’s Kazakh pilots are currently being trained in Finland, and air traffic controllers are now being trained in Sweden. There is a need to create a strong local backbone of pilots. To do this, it is necessary to invite instructors who will give pilots a better education. Such an intense The course will help our pilots obtain a multi-pilot license so they can fly large commercial aircraft.0374 Under such a program it will be possible to train airship commanders in 6-10 years .

But it would be irrational to refuse all foreign pilots. It’s too expensive to train your own all the time. In winter, the number of flights decreases, the need for pilots is much lower, and in summer, with an increase in flights, it becomes necessary to hire foreign pilots,” he explained.

Air accident investigation

In addition, according to Musabayev, there is currently a process of illegal lobbying for the transfer to the AAK of another important state function – the investigation of air accidents and incidents, which is carried out by the conditionally independent Agency for the Investigation of Air Accidents and Incidents – ARAPI under the MIIR.

The senator, on the other hand, suggested that the prime minister take some functions away from the administration.

“It is proposed to return common sense and direct the solution of the issue in a legal direction. It is necessary to return the state functions for supervision and control in civil aviation to the CAA. And since the Aviation Administration of Kazakhstan JSC has already been created, then leave certification functions to it. Or another option is to give AAK the status of a state body with all the ensuing legislative consequences and responsibility, entrusting it with the performance of state functions,” the deputy suggested.

Peter Griffiths explained that the AAC work plan has not changed since the “pre-Covid” times and there are no plans to change it yet.

“Our work plan was drawn up before the pandemic. Due to the pandemic, it was understood that plans could be shifted. But we did not shift the deadlines. We continued to work during the pandemic and work in accordance with the plan. The only one of the global goals is to obtain an FAA certificate Cat1 for US flights – due date pushed back because US not ready

The government is now in successful negotiations with the US on the Open Skies program. This is one of the first steps to getting FAA Cat1. The second step is the acquisition of a long-range aircraft. One company is already working on it. It will take two years. Despite the impact of the pandemic, AAC is still moving forward with the plan and expanding the development of the aviation industry,” Griffiths said.

He also noted that among the tasks of the AAC is the introduction of standards in Kazakhstan in accordance with ICAO and EASA, obtaining membership in the European Civil Aviation Conference.

Why the Aviation Administration cannot be a state structure, Zhenis Kassymbek previously explained, being the Minister for Investments and Development.

We turned to Senator Talgat Mussabaev with a request to comment on his position.

Speaking about the personal meeting with Peter Griffiths, Mussabayev assured that the meeting in 2020 went well and correctly.

“No rejections about him personally, I had no complaints against Griffiths. At a Senate meeting on June 17, I asked several uncomfortable questions to Deputy Prime Minister Roman Sklyar. That’s who I have complaints and big questions about. To the Ministry of Industry and Infrastructure Development and the Civil Aviation Committee

The first question is related to Griffiths, but not as a person, but as a citizen of a foreign state. The Aviation Administration is a JSC, a commercial organization and is not a state body. But somehow she was transferred state functions. There is no such thing anywhere in the world, and according to our legislation, this cannot be. But since the state functions have been transferred, a citizen of Kazakhstan should be in charge . And they are led by a citizen of a foreign state. Have we come under external control?” Musabayev said.

He supports the initiative of the President to invite foreign specialists to work when necessary. But specialists, not leaders. According to the senator, a citizen of the Republic of Kazakhstan should manage and, if he lacks competencies, recruit specialists from any country.

“This happens because the very competence of leaders at all levels, starting with Sklyar, who leads this process in aviation, Minister Beibut Atamkulov, all his deputies do not have not only higher, but even secondary aviation education . Moreover, they never I didn’t say a word about the AAK that there are no aviation specialists . But the chairman of the CAA, maybe he is a good person, but before he was appointed to this position, he was the director of a poultry farm,” the senator said .

According to Musabayev, Kazakh aviation was one of the best in the entire Soviet Union, “but due to the fact that now aviation leaders are incompetent, foreigners have to be hired. ”

The press service of the CAA noted that the chairman, Talgat Lastaev, has specialized aviation education. He conducted training at the Ukrainian National Aviation University in Kyiv as a transport engineer, “Organization of transportation and management in air transport.”

However, we note that before joining the Ministry of Transport and Communications from 2002 to 2008, he worked at manufacturing enterprises in agriculture.
