Boeing knew for 'some months' about the dangers of the 737 Max, officials said

Boeing knew for 'some months' about messages between two employees expressing serious concerns about the 737 Max, officials say.

"I expect your explanation immediately regarding the content of this document and Boeing's delay in disclosing the document to its safety regulator," Dickson wrote in a letter Friday to Boeing President and CEO Dennis Muilenburg.

"Mr. Muilenburg assured the Administrator that we are taking every step possible to safely return the MAX to service," Johndroe added. “Over the past several months, Boeing has been voluntarily cooperating with the House Transportation & Infrastructure Committee’s investigation into the 737 MAX," the company said in a statement.
