Boeing provided a fresh batch of incriminating documents on the 737 MAX to regulators and congressional investigators, only hours after announcing a leadership shakeup, officials confirmed Tuesday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The document dump came just before Christmas, when many officials already are on holiday, and \u201cappear to point to a very disturbing picture\u201d about Boeing\u2019s response to safety issues regarding the 737 MAX, a congressional aide told AFP in an email Tuesday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The aide said Boeing sent the documents \u201clate in the evening\u201d Monday to congressional staff investigating the issues with the aircraft, which has been grounded since March following two crashes that killed 346 people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The aerospace giant has faced scrutiny over its decision to keep flying the plane after the first crash and to brush off safety concerns of some employees, and over whether it sacrificed safety in the race to develop a plane to compete with an Airbus jet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Boeing said it \u201cproactively\u201d contacted the FAA and Congress \u201cas part of our commitment to transparency,\u201d a company spokesman said in email.\u201cAs with prior documents referenced by the committee, the tone and content of some of these communications does not reflect the company we are and need to be.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The spokesman also highlighted changes Boeing has made \u201cin the past nine months to enhance our safety processes, organization and culture.\u201dThat references the period after the Ethiopian Airlines crash in March. The first 737 MAX crash of a Lion Air flight in Indonesia happened five months earlier. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
