Ex-Boeing manager Ed Pierson drew a link between faulty Angle of Attack sensors in two recent 737 MAX crashes that killed 346 people and what he called a 'chaotic and alarming state' inside Boeing’s factory that undermined quality and safety
WASHINGTON/SEATTLE - The U.S. Federal Aviation Administration said on Wednesday it was investigating production issues involving Boeing Co’s 737 MAX and confirmed the agency will not approve the grounded commercial jet for flight before year end.
The head of the International Air Transport Association, Alexandre de Juniac, warned on Wednesday that airlines were nearing the end of their ability to manage the 737 MAX shutdown smoothly.Federal officials told Reuters this week that FAA approval was not likely until January at the earliest, though some U.S. officials think it may not be until at least February.
The manager, Ed Pierson, drew a link between faulty Angle of Attack sensors in two recent 737 MAX crashes that killed 346 people and what he called a “chaotic and alarming state” inside Boeing’s factory that undermined quality and safety. DeFazio said the committee, which received a fresh batch of FAA documents on Monday, planned a new round of interviews with FAA officials next week. It spent seven hours interviewing the FAA’s head of safety, Ali Bahrami, last week and plans months of continued investigation.
