Boeing CEO Dennis Muilenburg has faced criticism from members of Congress over the company's conduct in relation to its 737 Max plane, which has been involved in two major crashes. The Federal Aviation Administration said on Friday that it had grounded Boeing's entire fleet of planes after determining a battery problem was responsible for both crashes and serious damage to one plane. What does that say about Boeing? Democratic senator Richard Blumenthal said Boeing participated in a "pattern of deliberate concealment" by mentioning the MCAS system, which has been blamed for the crashes, only once in a 1,600-page pilots' manual. Muilenburg said the company didn't "sell" safety after being accused of making it an "add-on feature".
