File photo: A number of grounded Southwest Airlines Boeing 737 MAX 8 aircraft are shown parked at Victorville Airport in Victorville, California, on March 26, 2019. The FAA is in the spotlight over a 15-year-old policy to allow manufacturers including Boeing to “self-certify” the aircraft they produce. Questions around the certification process for the 737 Max aircraft have been the subject of congressional inquiries and a criminal investigation. The FAA is still waiting for Boeing to deliver the final package of software fixes and related training updates that will address the MCAS issue. Boeing executives have said the company is proceeding with caution to ensure the final software and training fixes are satisfactory.
