The head of the Federal Aviation Administration is concerned that Boeing is pushing for an unrealistically quick return of its grounded 737 Max and appears to be pressuring the regulator. That’s according to a senior FAA official who relayed Dickson’s concerns to Congress. Meanwhile, Boeing’s CEO met with FAA Administrator Stephen Dickson to discuss the ongoing grounding of the plane. The meeting comes as evidence grows that the Max grounding will drag on even longer. American Airlines is now removing the plane from its schedule until at least early April, a month longer than before.
