FAA moving too fast to lift ban on Boeing 737: Pilots

By Michael Laris (c) 2019, The Washington Post - An organization representing European pilots said Thursday that the Federal Aviation Administration and Boeing have failed to resolve fundamental questions about the oversight and design of the 737 Max, adding that it is “deeply disturbing” that the FAA and manufacturer are pushing to allow the planes back in the sky before first addressing systemic problems.   

An organization representing European pilots said Thursday that the Federal Aviation Administration and Boeing have failed to resolve fundamental questions about the oversight and design of the 737 Max, adding that it is “deeply disturbing” that the FAA and manufacturer are pushing to allow the planes back in the sky before first addressing systemic problems.   

The criticism came on the day the FAA gathered dozens of the world’s top aviation officials in Fort Worth, Texas, to offer them its “safety analysis” of the plane and Boeing’s planned fixes to an automated system that officials say contributed to two deadly crashes involving the jet.
