ReutersBy Tracy Rucinski(Reuters) -The families of victims killed in two crashes by Boeing Co's 737 MAX want U.S. regulators to rescind approval for the planes to fly again, following a Senate report that raised concerns about the re-approval process. Asked for comment, the FAA said it had worked closely with other international regulators to conduct "a thorough and deliberate review" of the 737 MAX. When the Senate report was released on Dec. 18, Boeing said it takes "seriously the committee’s findings and will continue to review the report in full." "With the first U.S. flight of the 737 MAX set to occur within days, we call for the plane to be immediately grounded based upon the new revelations," the families wrote.
