The FAA has given Boeing 90 days to address its quality control issues, following concerns raised by critics about deep-seated problems with the 737 Max jets.

Critics argue that the problems extend beyond isolated incidents, pointing to rushed development and production processes. Boeing has pledged to slow down and focus on addressing these issues, while the FAA is taking a harder line, capping production and demanding a comprehensive plan for improvement.
