Boeing 737 Max jets remain grounded in the U.S. and around the world following the deadly Lion Air and Ethiopian Airlines crashes that occurred within just months of each other and killed 346 people. In a statement, Shanahan said he is committed to upholding his ethics agreement with the Defense Department. Boeing executives are expected to be called to testify about the 737 Max at a Senate hearing next week. After last week's crash of Ethiopian Airlines Flight #302, a Boeing employee received a subpoena to retain records relating to the approval of the 737 Max. The probe is focused on the process to certify the 737 Max as safe and airworthy, a process that by design allows the manufacturer to certify much of the plane itself.
