Inspector General report says Boeing shielded key 737 Max details from FAA
Boeing shielded from federal regulators reviewing its 737 Max aircraft the extent and capability of the flawed computer system that ultimately brought down two jets, according to an inspector general report obtained by CNN. The report also faults the Federal Aviation Administration for poor communication and notes it handed over the vast majority -- 87% -- of certification responsibility to Boeing.

Could of sworn some of the info I saw on developing the software had a couple Indian names making the software. Also thinking it was sort of a contracted engineering deal. I don't think it would go well if they weren't American citizens with no prior aircraft systems experience. Not good for company or FAA.
your belief that if you have a foreign name , then your just off the boat . They could be MIT grads and 2nd generation Americans . By your comments can also draw a pretty clear picture of you .
The IG is just trying to cover the ass of the Government who caused the problem by under-funding the FAA and put idiots in charge (ones who would not go public about the under-funding compromising the integrity of the FAA) by whining "its Boeing's fault that they did not/could not dumb down the presentation to the intelligence/experience level of the FAA". The IG is in fact "shielding" the ass of the Government from being spanked.
It's amazing to me how much authority the FAA gave Boeing ,and how much Boeing deceived . But what about this new certification of the Max . This has to be the most perfect plane ever made . But i still don't know how that can be replicated on all the Max Aircraft out in Airline hands , and the #'s of Max's made and never delivered . There is still an enormous amount of work ahead for all parties , Airlines and other Country regulators , before they will have all of the Max's back in the air . .....
Unfortunately there are many lives that were lost with grieving families due to the gov't allowing Boeing to govern themselves. Yes Boeing should be held accountable for deceiving the FAA but the system was set up in a manner that allowed that to happen. Shame on the government for allowing that and shame on Boeing for placing greed ahead of human life.
Would there even be a 737 Max if it wasn’t for Southwest’s insistence for a common type rating?
