Former U.S. transportation secretary Ray LaHood, who was a GOP congressman before being appointed by President Barack Obama, said current Secretary Elaine Chao should immediately ground the aircraft.“Those planes should be pulled down and inspected. The flying public is owed that,” LaHood said Tuesday.
But a former FAA official, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to talk candidly, said those effects are already being felt, regardless of what the United States does. The White House has spoken with officials at American and Southwest about the planes, the senior administration official said. “I consulted with the FAA administrator, and I talked to the CEO of Boeing, and obviously Boeing didn’t like the decision when it was made. But when all the planes were inspected and determined to be safe, everybody was fine,” LaHood said.[Boeing Max 8 will continue to fly in U.S. even as China, others ground it]
Rep. Peter A. DeFazio , chairman of the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee, said he wants to know more about the FAA’s decisions regarding pilot retraining on the new Boeing model and suggested that the agency could be conflicted because of its dual role in regulating U.S. aviation and promoting the industry.
“Split second decisions are needed, and the complexity creates danger,” the president added. “All of this for great cost yet very little gain. I don’t know about you, but I don’t want Albert Einstein to be my pilot. I want great flying professionals that are allowed to easily and quickly take control of a plane!”Since Trump has been in office, the pair have developed a relationship.
And after several CEOs resigned from Trump’s manufacturing council in 2017 over the president’s handling of a white-supremacist rally in Charlottesville, Muilenburg kept a low profile and did not speak out against Trump. The president disbanded the council amid growing backlash. “Safety is Boeing’s number one priority and we have full confidence in the safety of the 737 MAX,” Boeing said in a statement.
