Acting FAA chief Dan Elwell defended his agency's handling of the troubled 737 MAX jet and the FAA's relationship with Boeing, despite years of complaints that it has delegated too much of its aircraft-approval process to the companies it regulates
Acting Federal Aviation Administration chief Dan Elwell on Wednesday defended his agency's handling of the troubled 737 MAX jet and the FAA's relationship with Boeing, despite years of complaints that it has delegated too much of its aircraft-approval process to the companies it regulates.
Elwell also expressed confidence in manufacturers' willingess to offer safety features without government prodding — an assurance Markey scoffed at. Without that program, he estimated, "it would require roughly 10,000 more employees to do that role at the FAA and about 1.8 billion [dollars] for our certification office in the FAA," Elwell said. "That’s a lot of people and money."And Elwell refused to answer a question from Sen. Richard Blumenthal about what President Donald Trump had said in private about the belated decision to ground the plane.
