i learned from sources that this morning david calhoun called the head of the faa, steve dixon it wasrt but amicable phone call in that call calhoun said to dixon boeing welcomes rigorous oversight. he also said boeing wants to be regulated. this is a big change in tone for boeing compared to where it was a few months ago but in terms of whether or not dennis muilenburg was not going to be in the job for long, it was expected for some time his tenure would be short. this is our conversation with him in the halls of capitol hill just a couple months ago >> have there been discussions with the board maybe once this is certified and the plane returns to service, time to transition out of the ceo job? >> phil, those aren't discussions that i'm involved in or is that my focus. my focus here is on the job at hand we have important work to do for the world. we know that the work we do matters. safety is at the very forefront of that. we have always been focused on safety, quality, integrity that demands excellence in how we do our work that's where my focus is. >> those comments on october 2

it is clear this meeting is steve dixon saying to dennis muilenburg, you want to get on the same page, that is the quickest round to the 737 max returning to service and again the faa is not expecting that to happen until early next year. recertification, they're not putting a timeline on this but i would expect maybe early to mid-january, maybe late january. somewhere in that time frame and then you've got airlines likely flying the plane again. if there are no further delays, maybe in march maybe in april brian. >> okay, phil, breaking news i want to ask you something else more about editorialized by you personally and it is one side of the story that we haven't talked about enough the plane is certified and back into service do we have any idea what would happen if passengers reject flying on it we've talking about it i have spoken with numerous people who said i -- by the way, inside of this building and out who said i will never get on a 737 max. maybe they're just saying that if there are no other options they will. is there any risk it puts back into service and nobody shows up

the head of the faa, steve dixon, has said he won't approve the max until he flies it himself. a number of hurdles to clear before the max takes off. but most believe it will be recertified in the first couple of months of next year once that happens, expect airlines to make a big push to convince fliers the max is safe. southwest, american and united have parked their max planes for almost a year. they know passengers may hesitate or flat out refuse to board a max, so executives of those airlines will be on max flights to reassure their customers the planes are good to go once the max is back, look for boeing to slowly ramp up production yes, the assembly line will be down at the start of the year, but boeing will likely go to building 42 a month by midyear what about the max airplanes that have been built but not yet delivered in they will eventually take off and go to the airlines that have ordered them, but it will take all of 2020 and beyond for boeing to clear out the inventory of more than 400 max airplanes >>> a critical year for boeing in 2020. thanks to phil lebeau. >
