Investigating Oversight and Governance Failures

Orion Aeronautics, a global commercial aircraft manufacturer, is under intense scrutiny for safety concerns.  Concerns have arisen following two serious flight anomalies involving its latest OA-750 model and initial investigations point to a flaw in the aircraft’s alert interface system. An internal concern was raised more than a year ago, but was confined to mid-level technical staff and never escalated further. A federal agency has initiated a formal inquiry. The board claims to have been unaware of any safety concerns until coverage appeared in national media. The situation has prompted questions about the board’s governance model, escalation pathways, and how emerging risks were handled. The board has called an emergency session. Several directors admit that safety risk was largely managed at the committee level, and that the board never received briefings on the concern raised internally. What should the board do at this point?
