Boeing employees knew about problems with flight simulators for the now-grounded 737 Max and apparently tried to hide them from federal regulators, according to documents released Thursday.
In internal messages, Boeing employees talked about misleading regulators about problems with the simulators. In one exchange, an employee told a colleague they wouldn't let their family ride on a 737 Max.
Employees also groused about Boeing's senior management, the company's selection of low-cost suppliers, wasting money, and the Max.Names of the employees who wrote the emails and text messages were redacted. The latest batch of internal Boeing documents were provided to the Federal Aviation Administration and Congress last month and released on Thursday. The company said it was considering disciplinary action against some employees.
A lawmaker leading one of the congressional investigations into Boeing called them "incredibly damning."
