FAA Administrator Stephen Dickson defended the safety record of U.S. aviation safety while saying, “What we have done in the past and what we are doing now will not be good enough in the future.” “By June 2018, I had grown gravely concerned that Boeing was prioritizing production speed over quality and safety,” Pierson said in prepared remarks. “I witnessed a factory in chaos and reported serious concerns about production quality to senior Boeing leadership months before the first crash” and again before the second crash.
Boeing hopes airlines will be able to use the plane again early next year after the company completes fixes to flight-control software and computers. Dickson has insisted that the FAA has no timetable for granting that approval.The FAA “failed to do its job. It failed to provide the regulatory oversight necessary to ensure the safety of the flying public,” DeFazio said.
