ADDIS ABABA/JAKARTA/WASHINGTON - The world’s biggest planemaker Boeing faced growing obstacles on Wednesday to returning its grounded 737 MAX fleet to the skies, while details emerged of an Indonesian crash with potential similarities to the Ethiopian disaster.
But they stress neither investigation is complete and crew actions and training will also be closely scrutinised. Meanwhile, the Pentagon Inspector General said on Wednesday it would investigate a complaint that Acting United States Secretary of Defense Patrick Shanahan, a former Boeing executive, violated ethical rules by allegedly promoting Boeing while in office.
Investigators examining the Indonesian crash want to know how a computer ordered the plane to dive in response to data from a faulty sensor and whether pilots had enough training to respond appropriately to the emergency.
