Congress Seethes Over Boeing Emails

Politico: “Communications among Boeing employees involved with the 737 MAX, made public Thursday, have pushed the company’s reputation on Capitol Hill to a new low, sparking bipartisan anger and bringing Congress closer to reining in what some say has been lax federal oversight of plane manufacturers.”

“The emails and messages — which depict unnamed Boeing employees bragging about duping airlines, criticizing the MAX’s design as done by ‘clowns’ and raising concerns about cost-cutting and schedule pressures — immediately prompted sharp bipartisan rebukes.”
