It is"clear that at Boeing, safety comes after cost-cutting, profit maximization and share price pumpage," said Paul Njoroge, who lost his entire family on the Ethiopian Airlines crash."The ungrounding process of the 737 MAX planes should be halted until the FAA recaptures its authority over Boeing."
The system suffered from"faulty design," and Boeing downplayed the importance of the system by failing to classify MCAS as a"safety-critical" mechanism that would have triggered tighter oversight. But Republicans on the committee rejected that appraisal, pointing to changes already implemented"with more to come," said a statement from Reps Sam Graves of Missouri and Garret Graves of Louisiana, the senior Republicans on the committee and aviation panel.
