Damning details of purposeful malfeasance by Boeing executives emerged in a Congressional investigation.<\/span> Mish Talks<\/p>\n On Wednesday, the\u00a0Transportation Committee Blasted FAA, Boeing Over 737 MAX Failures<\/a><\/p>\n The 238-page document, written by the majority staff of the House Transportation Committee, calls into question whether the plane maker or the Federal Aviation Administration has fully incorporated essential safety lessons, despite a global grounding of the MAX fleet since March 2019.<\/p>\n After an 18-month investigation, the report, released Wednesday, concludes that Boeing\u2019s travails stemmed partly from a reluctance to admit mistakes and \u201cpoint to a company culture that is in serious need of a safety reset.\u201d<\/p>\n The report provides more specifics, in sometimes-blistering language, backing up preliminary\u00a0findings the panel\u2019s Democrats released six months ago<\/a>, which laid out a pattern of mistakes and missed opportunities to correct them.<\/p>\n In one section, the Democrats\u2019 report faults Boeing for what it calls \u201cinconceivable and inexcusable\u201d actions to withhold crucial information from airlines about one cockpit-warning system, related to but not part of MCAS, that didn\u2019t operate as required on 80% of MAX jets. Other portions highlight instances when Boeing officials, acting in their capacity as designated FAA representatives, part of a widely used system of delegating oversight authority to company employees,\u00a0failed to alert agency managers about various safety matters<\/a>.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
