Communications among Boeing employees involved with the 737 MAX have pushed the company’s reputation on Capitol Hill to a new low
Communications among Boeing employees involved with the 737 MAX, made public Thursday, have pushed the company’s reputation on Capitol Hill to a new low, sparking bipartisan anger and bringing Congress closer to reining in what some say has been lax federal oversight of plane manufacturers.
He has said that he wants to ensure that the FAA closely scrutinizes airplane systems that are considered safety critical. He also may target limits to the amount of times a plane can be certified as a derivative of an already existing design. This was the case with the MAX, which is a derivative of the 1960s-era 737 design.
“But the real issue here for me in terms of Capitol Hill is that Congress needs to add funding to the FAA so that it can hire more experts,” Hamilton said. “Until Congress … increases funding for the FAA to a substantial degree, it does not have the human resources or the muscle” to rein in the program.
“I won’t say my mind was made up, but I certainly was leaning in the direction of, there were some significant training issues with some of the international carriers,” he told POLITICO. “This does put a little bit of a shadow on that.” Senate Commerce Chairman Roger Wicker said in a statement Thursday that he had “very serious concerns” after seeing the messages. He said they show a “troubling disregard for safety among some at Boeing and raise questions about the efficacy of FAA’s oversight of the certification process.”
