New Boeing 737 Max documents show 'very disturbing' employee concerns: U.S. House aide

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Boeing Co (BA.N) documents now under review by a U.S. government committee appear to point to a “very disturbing” picture of commentary from the planemaker’s employees over the grounded 737 MAX aircraft, a House of Representatives transportation infrastructure committee aide said on Tuesday.

The documents, submitted to the committee late on Monday, discussed concerns over Boeing’s commitment to safety, along with efforts by some employees to ensure the company’s production plans were not diverted by regulators or others, said the aide, who spoke on condition of anonymity.

Boeing was not immediately available for comment.

The documents were submitted to the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) on the same day Boeing announced the firing of its chief executive Dennis Muilenburg amid a crisis following its handling of the aftermath of two fatal crashes involving the best-selling 737 MAX.
