“I support my team taking the time they need to fully understand the human factors assumptions” on the planes, Nolen said in the letter, which was reviewed by Bloomberg.
The prospect of a lengthy delay for the Max 10 — Boeing’s only new offering in the hotly competitive midrange market — adds pressure on the planemaker to forge a coalition of lawmakers willing to support extending the deadline. A leading critic, Representative Peter DeFazio, the Oregon Democrat who chairs the Transportation and Infrastructure Committee, is retiring later this year.
Asked at a press conference Tuesday what it will take to avoid having to redesign the planes, Nolen said, “Any change to any deadline is within the purview of Congress and it is up to them.” Boeing declined to comment on the letter, referring instead to a prior statement that it’s “focused on meeting all regulatory requirements to certify the 737-7 and 737-10, and safety remains the driving factor in this effort.”
