– Two Democratic senators are calling on the FAA to make public all data and information used to justify the Boeing 737 MAX’s return to service, and to disclose any internal objections raised by FAA employees, Reuters reports. “Robust transparency is needed to ensure that independent experts and the public can review whether this aircraft is truly safe before it takes to the skies again,” Sens. Richard Blumenthal and Ed Markey write in a letter to the FAA, which has proposed requiring a series of software upgrades and other changes before the 737 MAX could return to service. The FAA has been grounded since March 2019 after two fatal crashes in five months killed 346 people.
