Hundreds of emails, which Boeing provided to Congress and the FAA in December, were obtained by both Reuters and The New York Times on Thursday.

The emails discussed a range of topics, including safety issues with the Max software and the little training provided to Max pilots.

„Would you put your family on a Max simulator trained aircraft? I wouldn’t,“ one employee said to a colleague in an undated set of messages seen by The Times. „No,“ the colleague responded.„This airplane is designed by clowns who in turn are supervised by monkeys,“ one employee wrote in an instant message.

„Some of these communications relate to the development and qualification of Boeing’s MAX simulators in 2017 and 2018,“ the company said in the statement. „These communications contain provocative language, and, in certain instances, raise questions about Boeing’s interactions with the FAA in connection with the simulator qualification process.“
