Forkner said in the messages that in the simulation the MCAS was "trimming itself craxy," likely meaning "crazy," and that it was "egregious." Dickson also requested an explanation about the delay in disclosing the document to the FAA because it was his understanding that "Boeing discovered the document in its files months ago. "Over the past several months, Boeing has been voluntarily cooperating with the House Transportation & Infrastructure Committee's investigation into the 737 Max," the company said in a statement on Friday. "As part of that cooperation, today we brought to the Committee's attention a document containing statements by a former Boeing employee. And we will continue to follow the direction of the FAA and other global regulators, as we work to safely return the 737 Max to service."
