– Dan Elwell, the deputy FAA administrator who oversaw the agency during the initial phase of the Boeing 737 MAX crisis, plans to step down, he tells Reuters. Elwell, who was acting FAA administrator from January 2018 through August 2019, made the decision in March 2019 to ground the Boeing 737 MAX after the second fatal crash in five months. “It’s looking very, very likely that the MAX is at the end of its travails,’ Elwell says. “We’re getting to the latter steps.” An FAA spokeswoman says Elwell plans to leave near the end of November.
