Boeing expresses regret over ex-pilot's 737 MAX messages, faults simulator by byEricMJohnson davidshepardson
SEATTLE/WASHINGTON - Boeing Co said on Sunday it understood the outcry over leaked messages from a former test pilot over erratic software behavior on its 737 MAX jet two years before recent crashes, and added it was still investigating what they meant.
The FAA on Friday ordered Boeing Chief Executive Dennis Muilenburg to give an “immediate” explanation for the delay in turning over the “concerning” document, which Boeing discovered some months ago. The instant messages prompted harsh reactions from several Democratic lawmakers in Washington, with Representative Peter DeFazio saying, “This is no isolated incident.”
The presentation was obtained by the committee’s investigators and not among a trove of documents handed over the committee by Boeing itself, a person briefed on the matter said. “The simulator software used during the Nov. 15 session was still undergoing testing and qualification and had not been finalized,” Boeing added.
