Reuters: Boeing 2016 internal messages suggest employees may have misled FAA on 737 MAX – sources
The FAA confirmed Friday that Boeing told it a day earlier about internal messages it had discovered “some months ago” that characterize “certain communications with the FAA during the original certification of the 737 MAX in 2016.”
The FAA calls these messages “concerning” and “is reviewing this information to determine what action is appropriate.”
The NY Times has obtained the content of some of the Boeing messages, in which the 737 Max’s chief technical pilot wrote: “Granted, I suck at flying, but even this was egregious.” He also wrote: “I basically lied to the regulators (unknowingly)” https://t.co/F1Lj2EQ0dc pic.twitter.com/B5mzjVk0o7
