MORE SCRUTINY ON BOEING, FAA: The agency’s chief, a retired Boeing manager and family members of victims will come together in a House hearing room today as the Transportation Committee meets again on the 737 MAX. The hearing could be an explosive one. Ed Pierson, who left Boeing months before the Lion Air crash off the coast of Indonesia, will tell lawmakers that he “witnessed a factory in chaos” in Renton, Wash. He will also say that he was dissatisfied with Boeing’s response when he brought up concerns before and after the Lion Air accident, and he was disappointed again when he voiced concerns to the NTSB and FAA after the Ethiopian Airlines crash in March.
