WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Congress on Thursday asked Boeing Cos chief executive to make several employees available for interviews as part of a congressional probe into the design, development and certification of 737 MAX aircraft involved in two crashes that killed 346 people.
House of Representatives Transportation Committee Chairman Peter DeFazio and Representative Rick Larsen, who chairs the aviation subcommittee, said in a statement that while Boeing has provided substantial documents and shared senior managements perspective, its important to the committees investigation to hear from relevant Boeing employees.
The committee plans another Boeing hearing in the coming weeks and previously asked whistleblowers to come forward with any information about the planes development. Boeing has provided more than 300,000 pages of documents, a person briefed on the matter said, speaking on condition of anonymity.
Boeing said in a statement it was deeply disappointed the committee chose to release private correspondence given our extensive cooperation to date. We will continue to be transparent and responsive to the committee.

(10,690 posts)1. Transparency to Boeing: hide everything
The "Lazy B" wants to hide every detail about the engineering of their aircraft. They have to, because it's such an embarrassment to them.
