EXCLUSIVE-U.S. House panel faults FAA review of Boeing 737 MAX, plane design failures
Source: Reuters
WASHINGTON, March 6 (Reuters) - A U.S. House investigative report into two Boeing 737 MAX crashes that killed 346 people will fault the Federal Aviation Administration's (FAA) approval of the plane and Boeing's "design failures."
The preliminary investigative findings from the U.S. House Transportation Committee, which were seen by Reuters and are being released later on Friday, found the FAA's "certification review of Boeings 737 MAX was grossly insufficient and that the FAA failed in its duty to identify key safety problems." The 13-page report also finds Boeing's design "was marred by technical design failures, lack of transparency with both regulators and customers." The report adds the findings should prompt legislative changes to address how U.S. regulators approve new aircraft for service. FAA and Boeing did not immediately comment.

Revenues flight...a big deal with airlines having spent billions for development and manufacturing.
Certainly not an excuse for stupid mistakes...boeing needs to take the high road here and conduct
all appropriate testing and certifications that they have on other models...Forget the shortcuts, forget
what airhead bus is doing..do it right...
