Three US senate Democrats propose sweeping reforms after Boeing 737 MAX crashes
Three Democratic US senators Tuesday introduced sweeping legislation to reform how new airplanes are certified and overseen by US regulators after 2 fatal Boeing 737 MAX crashes. The bill would create an independent aircraft certification commission, bar Boeing and other manufacturers from tying employee compensation to delivery of airplanes and increase oversight of manufacturers that handle delegated certification tasks on behalf of the FAA. The legislation would also set new requirements for individuals handling delegated certification tasks and require regular audits. The legislation would also give the FAA administrator power to deem airplanes not sellable in certain countries until airlines met training, operating and maintenance requirements. <br/>
