“We are sorry, truly and deeply sorry,” Muilenburg said. 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 157 major crashes. Boeing was accused of putting profit before safety and of not telling regulators about defects in the plane's software. Republican senator Max said Congress participated in a "pattern of deliberate concealment" by mentioning the Richard Blumenthal 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".
