Its the faa leading and always has led. i was with the faa for 17 years as a professional in the faa. and we always set the examples. we taught china how to do their regulatory system. weve taught the entire world how to do this. the fact that we didnt lead by example here is really, really a shame. >> sarah, ive got to ask you, other than 9/11, right, weve never seen a stoppage like this before. how long do you see this lasting? >> well, actually, thats not true. we did have the 787 on the grou...

Questions that they certified the 787 and that has serious problems. they certified the 737 max 8 and that had deadly problems. so i dont think there is a rush to get these planes back in the air. i think you are looking at weeks, maybe even months. >> mary, i want to go back to something you said, the faa takes the lead of the manufacturer. >> right. >> does that make sense to you? does that -- i know youre a profess plaintiffs attorney and gone after boeing. does it make the sense the faa woul...

Technology increases to more automation, they try to limit the amount of risk involved. when they do that, sometimes things fall through the cracks. one of those things is in identifying what has been changed and then identifying that to the pilots and the training techniques and the training regimen that is required. usually when you transition to a new model in the 737 program or 787 program, the pilots, we would receive input both on a web-based and then our training departments would work to...

Boeing about the korsst cost of their design. he talks to boston and petitioned him to not submit clap. and weep have the president going around the world, sees himself asissary of american business. just two weeks ago he was in vietnam and presided over a ceremony of these very planes that the vietnamese have purchased from boeing and stood there and suggested this was a model of american craftsmanship and enterprise. >> the last time we grounded a plane was the 787 dreamliner

Was the last in the world to do this after so many other countries had? >> the faa likes to go where the data sends them. if they dont have the data to take them there -- plus, this was a fairly large step in that its an unprecedented grounding. in my professional career the faa has grounded airplanes three times. the first was because of mechanical measures that took over the airplane. one was the dc 10 in 1979 that an engine came off the wing and the second was the batteries in the 787. if you...

Cozy, to say the least, relationship between safety inspectors and boeing. in some cases these inspectors work in boeing factories. they are side by side with the manufacturers as the planes be being built. you say they persuade. the faa to let them certify their own aircraft so they could save money. explain. >> well, their fundamental concerns that have been raised, again, since the 787 incident and in this incident with the certification process procedures that are used for new model of aircr...

Boeing worldwide. had either one of these accidents occurred in the united states, in my opinion, theres no question that this aircraft would have been grounded. we grounded the 787 without any accident, fatal accident occurring. so why are we not acting in this situation? i think its a tremendous mistake both for boeing, the federal aviation administration, and our image worldwide. and at the same time boeing seems to be pointing the finger at foreign airlines and their inability to grasp the t...

Also chilling. this is from a pilot. as way returning to my primary flight display, the pilot monitoring called descending followed by a dont sink, dont sink. i immediately disconnected the autopilot and resumed the climb. with the concerns about the max 8 nose down stuff, we both thought it appropriate to bring this to your attention. >> so jim hall, when you see these complaints coming before the ethiopia crash, how does it strike you? >> well, its very disturbing, but unfortunately not surpri...

Managed? take a look at the records of the 8 and 9 max airplane? in the us we have those records. and the rest of the world it is all it might be dangerous, better ground it. the us, faa is doing the right thing despite world opinion. heather: this is the statement from boeing, they say safety is boeings number one priority, we have full confidence in the safety of the 787 max, the federal aviation administration is not mandating any action at this time. we do not have a basis to issued new guid...

The boeing 787 and back in 2013, all of those planes were grounded on orders from the u.s. government when there was what seemed to be a reoccurring problem with over heating battery packs, over heating lithium ion batty ery packs andt that time, president obamas treasury secretary ordered boeing to ground the 787s and lasted less than a month, boeing crafted a new part of little fire resistant compartment to put around those batteries and that passed muster and ultimately, the planes were becom...
