Washington, September 25 (RHC)-- Investigators say the Federal Aviation Administration misled Congress about safety inspections for the Boeing 737 MAX aircraft. Safety inspectors charged with training requirements for 737 pilots were underqualified, according to the investigation, which arose from a whistleblower complaint.
Two Boeing 737 MAX airplanes — Indonesia’s Lion Air Flight 610 and Ethiopian Airlines Flight 302 — crashed five months apart, killing all 346 people on board. On Monday, Boeing announced it will begin paying out $50 million in financial assistance to the families of the victims of the two crashes.
