"FAA Oversight of Boeing 737 MAX Quality Control Raises Concerns"

The head of the FAA has pledged to maintain a physical presence at Boeing's 737 MAX factory until the agency is satisfied with the aircraft's quality control, following the grounding of 737-9 MAX planes after a door plug incident. The FAA has deployed inspectors to visually examine the planes and is transitioning to a direct inspection approach, requiring extensive measurements and data. Boeing's CEO plans to meet with senators amid frustration from Alaska Airlines over loose bolts found on its 737 MAX 9 jets, with the airline demanding improvements to Boeing's in-house quality programs.
