FAA increases oversight at Boeing as 737 Max production prepares to resume

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) will enhance its oversight at Boeing plants as the company prepares to resume production of the 737 Max. This follows a 53-day strike that recently ended, impacting operations significantly. Boeing workers accepted a revised contract, allowing them to return to work as early as November 12. The contract includes wage increases and bonuses for about 33,000 machinists involved in the strike. Despite the resolution, the FAA's increased scrutiny highlights ongoing safety concerns at Boeing. The agency requires the company to show improvements in safety protocols before production can fully resume.
