After finding similarities in two deadly crashes in less than five months, federal investigators are looking into how the FAA approved Boeing's 737 Max jet. In addition to a new software update, CBS News has also learned that Boeing will update its training requirements for the 737 Max. Federal authorities have told employees at Boeing and the FAA to retain documents relating to the plane's approval process, which by design relies on manufacturers like Boeing to self-police that it's met FAA requirements. "On some level, the FAA is taking Boeing's word for a lot of this," Van Cleave pointed out. "They are taking Boeing's word, but they – Boeing is also presenting data to prove their word," Brenner said.
