U.S. lawmakers of both parties called for the FAA to join a growing list of governments in grounding Boeing’s beleaguered 737 MAX 8 jetliner
U.S. lawmakers of both parties called Tuesday for the FAA to join a growing list of governments in grounding Boeing’s beleaguered 737 MAX 8 jetliner — a step that would threaten major disruptions of some domestic air traffic and one of the nation’s top manufacturers.
"Today, immediately, the FAA needs to get these planes out of the sky," Warren said Tuesday. She also called for congressional hearings on "whether an administration that famously refused to stand up to Saudi Arabia to protect Boeing arms sales has once again put lives at risk for the same reason."By signing up you agree to receive email newsletters or alerts from POLITICO.

The cascade of groundings represents a break from decades of other countries largely following the FAA’s lead on the safety of U.S. aircraft.
Transportation Secretary Elaine Chao said Monday that her agency is "very concerned ... and we're monitoring the situation very carefully."The FAA is so far sticking to its position that it’s too soon to declare the plane unsafe to fly. “[T]his investigation has just begun and to date we have not been provided data to draw any conclusions or take any actions," the agency said in a notice Monday.
