FAA Chief Won’t Sign Off on Boeing’s 737 Max

FAA Chief says that he will not be signing off on Boeing's 737 Max until all technical reviews are complete

Steve Dickson, Chief of the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has said that he will not be signing off on Boeing’s 737 Max until all technical reviews are complete and until he flies the aircraft for himself.

Steve confirmed the agency will not approve Boeing’s grounded 737 Max for flight before the end of 2019, citing a series of steps that still must be completed.

“I am not going to sign off on this aircraft until all FAA technical reviews are complete, I fly it myself using my experience as an Air Force and commercial pilot, and I am satisfied that I would put my own family on it without a second thought,” Steve said.
