WASHINGTON — Boeing Co documents now under review by a U.S. government committee appear to point to a "very disturbing" picture of commentary from the planemaker's employees over the grounded 737 MAX aircraft, a House of Representatives transportation infrastructure committee aide said on Tuesday. Boeing was not immediately available for comment. The documents were submitted to the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) on the same day Boeing announced the firing of its chief executive Dennis Muilenburg amid a crisis following its handling of the aftermath of two fatal crashes involving the best-selling 737 MAX. The 737 MAX has been grounded since March. The crashes in Indonesia and Ethiopia killed 346 people within five months.
