FAA to meet with Boeing CEO as safety review continues and 737 MAX production restarts

simpleflying.com

The FAA will meet with Boeing's new CEO as the company prepares to restart 737 MAX production after a machinists' strike ended earlier this month. The FAA has maintained a strong presence at Boeing to oversee safety measures. The strike involved 33,000 union members who secured a pay increase of over 43% and a $12,000 bonus. This followed two previous rejections of pay offers, with the final agreement focusing on better compensation and working conditions. Boeing's production of the 737 MAX was paused for 53 days during the strike. The FAA has capped production at 38 aircraft per month to prioritize quality and safety during the assembly process.
