The aviation world's eyes are on Fort Worth, where U.S. and global regulators meet behind closed doors Thursday to discuss if the Boeing 737 Max is safe to return to the skies. "We have done a very extensive review," said Ali Bahrami, FAA associate administrator for aviation safety. But Elwell declined to say what the FAA determined about the role the plane's auto-pilot system, known as MCAS, played in the Indonesia and Ethiopia crashes. It comes a little over two months after a 737 Max operated by Ethiopian Airlines crashed shortly after takeoff, killing 157 people. The crashes put a harsh spotlight on Boeing's safety measures and the FAA's scrutiny in certifying the Max for service.
