yes. recall a similar program where they gave out a huge instruction packet to complete a 'big' report. If you read the entire thing it told you, at the end, that you were only to do the first 1/3rd of it. Your example may have come later.

As Criminal Probe Advances, Prosecutors Focus On What Boeing Told The FAA

 

More details about the federal criminal investigation into the FAA's certification process for the Boeing 737 MAX 8 leaked Friday night, appearing in the Wall Street Journal - a news organization that has consistently lead coverage of the investigation, alongside the New York Times and Seattle Times.

 

Per the latest report, prosecutors are focusing on whether Boeing withheld crucial information from regulators - regulators who, as the NYT reported earlier this month, had delegated much of the approval process to internal units of the Boeing Company.

 

Here's more from WSJ on the criminal probe, which began late last year after a 737 owned by Indonesia's Lion Air suddenly plunged into the Java Sea a few minutes after takeoff. The probe has only intensified since Ethiopia Airlines flight ET302 crashed under similarly mysterious circumstances just six minutes after takeoff. In the intervening weeks, questions about the plane's new anti-stall system, known as MCAS, which was unique to the 737 Max, having been added to compensate for changes in the plane's design.

 

Additionally, Boeing has also faced scrutiny over "optional" safety features that some say could have prevented the crashes.

 

Federal investigators are looking into whether Boeing provided incomplete or misleading information about the 737 MAX aircraft to U.S. air-safety regulators and customers, people familiar with the matter said.

 

The focus on disclosures to regulators, which hasn’t been previously reported, is part of a broader investigation into how the jetliner was developed and certified, some of these people said.

 

The criminal investigation, which is in early stages, began last year, weeks after a 737 MAX operated by Lion Air crashed in Indonesia on Oct. 29, according to one of these people. The same model plane, flown by Ethiopian Airlines, crashed less than five months later.

Agents with the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Transportation Department’s inspector general’s office are working in tandem under the direction of federal prosecutors, the people familiar with the matter said. The agents involved are from offices in Seattle, Chicago and elsewhere, these people added. Boeing is based in Chicago but manufactures the 737 MAX at its facility in Renton, Wash., near Seattle.

 

Boeing hasn’t been accused of wrongdoing.

 

"The 737 MAX was certified in accordance with the identical FAA requirements and processes that have governed certification of all previous new airplanes and derivatives," Boeing said.

 

Though the pressure on Boeing's shares has abated, Garuda Indonesia, the country's national airline, helped revive anxieties about the financial fallout from the string of crashes by cancelling a $5 billion order for 50 737 MAX jets, Reuters reported on Friday (and we noted here), becoming the first airline to cancel.

 

If others follow suit, some $600 billion in Boeing 737 MAX orders could be at risk. Of course, this could all depend on what investigators find, and, more importantly, what they choose to leak to the press.

Moreover, whatever they turn up, the fallout from the probe likely won't be limited to Boeing. As one fund manager pointed in an essay published by Barron's this week, it could have repercussions for the broader autonomous travel industry, which is still in its infancy. If investigators blame Boeing's autonomous technology (the MCAS) for the crashes, it could have "a ripple effect" impacting consumer confidence in driverless cars, which have already struggled with safety mishaps of their own.
