Congressional review approaching first anniversary of the Max grounding:- not a best wishes card …
Boeing: "… marred by technical design failures, lack of transparency with both regulators and customers, and efforts to obfuscate information about the operation of the aircraft.”
FAA: “grossly insufficient”,
“failed in its duty to identify key safety problems and to ensure that they were adequately addressed during the certification process."
In general: a “culture of concealment”, "jeopardized the safety of the flying public.”
also
“none of these expert reviews or investigations have come to the conclusion that our safety certification system is broken or in need of wholesale dismantlement.” i.e. not a congressional problem - really! Who oversees the overseers, provides funding, national commercial and political direction, etc. Accidents of organisation, from the top down.
Not the best foundation on which to improve Boeing - FAA oversight.
