faa is cooperating. again, we are waiting for the outcome of the task force to decide how we can best adopt the recommendations both in terms of ineral prescriptions, and know the attorney general is working across agencies to decide how best to do the metrics. we stand by to -- based on the recommendations that come out to figure out how best to adopt that in the aviation system. at. murray: i know the faa bish -- issues advises all related to cabin safety. outside of waiting for the task force to complete work, are you undertaking any efforts to deal with this issue? know we have i collected some basic data to try and help provide information, but again, there has been at least one meeting already of the task force. again, i know it is working and pace, so we are waiting to see what we can do. as flights happen in the system, we again worked closely with the normal law enforcement community as issues are reported to try and do as much as we can to ensure that law enforcement officials are -- meet the p

at the faa. too often we were chasing after an accident to figure out what steps should have been taken, what should have been required, what went wrong. and i tried for a number of years to say, you know, you've got this archaic mandate from the 30s that was moved over from the civil aeronautics board to the faa, that you both promote and regulate the industry. that was when it was a -- industry. it is a maturing entered street i would say and i think there is a conflict but i was told no there is no conflict. and we were doing an faa bill and i offered an amendment to strip promotional authority but i lost here in the committee. and then, it was not in the senate bill either. but then value jet went down. and suddenly it was, there are some problems here. with oversight, maintenance, subcontracting, all these things. and i got a phone call as i remember, saying the amendment you offered? and i said the one that was rejected, well where would we put it in the bill? and i got about 90% of what i

the faa's action have implications to travel around the world. the majority of the victims 302 d lion air 610 were not americans and therefore it is only right to hear from the global community impacted by the tragedies, i want to thank you for coming from canada, thank you for meeting with us. well recognize michael, is in the audience, she lost her brother matthew as well and, of course, many other family members who are not here but certainly represented in our thoughts, prayers and in today's testimony. with that, i want to turn to the ranking member garrett graves for opening comments. thank you, mr. chairman, and thank you for holding this hearing today. first and most importantly, i want to express my condolences and i think on behalf of everyone here for the loss that you have experienced. i appreciate time and dedication that you have committed yourself to ensuring that every single lesson learned from this can be extracted and no one has to go through this again. there's amazing statistics about aviation travel. we can sit here and talk

we got this fresh statement from the faa today. faa certification of the max plane is under an independent review and investigation. the agency says while the agency's certification processes are well-established and have consistently produced safe aircraft designs, we welcome the scrutiny from these experts and look forward to their findings. boeing, for their part, tells us the max plane met the faa's regulatory requirements back then. they added this. the system of authorized a robust and effective way for the faa to exercise its oversight and the effectiveness of that system is borne out by the industry's record in the u.s. and around the world. so there you see boeing is also defending the faa's regulatory processes. we will see if anything changes because of this going forward. liz? liz: you can't let the fox guard the hen house, especially, i think, when you've got people's lives at stake here. it's really going to probably, grady, tell me if you agree, going to change some things at the faa and how they do certain regulatio

many of those engineers are former boeing engineers, but now they work for the faa. us. adam dickson ran a team of engineers working on the max. he says they were pressured to downplay new features. and by classifying them as minor, rather than major changes, boeing would face less scrutiny from the faa. differences on the max, the goal was to show that those differences were so similar to the previous design that it would not require a major design classification in the certification process. there was a lot of interest and pressure on the certification — and analysis engineers in particular — to look at any changes to the max as minor changes. when you drive a change in classification from major to minor, that reduces the scrutiny of the system in some ways that could impact safety. insiders at the faa were so concerned they sounded the alarm before the second crash in ethiopia. they told journalist dominic gates that boeing had misinformed the faa about the power of mcas. i had the story all written and ijust wanted comment from boeing, can you tell me about what

of safety at faa. he wasn't involved in the certification of the 737 max or the faulty mcas software but "the new york times" report he was one of the administrators at the faa pushing to allow boeing inspectors to certify the boeing safety system instead of having the faa inspectors do it. laura. >> thank you very much. >>> jury deliberation may begin in the ghost ship warehouse trier file. the defense wrapping up closing arguments yesterday. they accuse prosecutors of using the defendants as scapegoats for a party that brought dozen to the warehouse on the night of fire. they urged the jury not to let emotions get in the way of a decision. prosecutors will give the final rebuttal at which time deliberation will begin. our melissa colorado is there inside of the courtroom and will have a full update at 5:00 and 6:00. >>> and it is day two of the democratic debates in detroit. everyone is watching to see if california senator kamala harris goes after former vice president joe biden again. a look at the

an engineer inside the faa filed a saabfety complaint this issue.but again, managers wereg deferr boeing and specifically cited boeing's timeline as one of the reasons. >> and talking about that timeline, boeing was rushing to get in plane approved because they wertifacing compe from airbus. >> that's right, boeing was in a competitiorwith ais to get a new plane out, boeing was behind, changing these cables would likely have meant delays and, so, again, faa managers specifically side that maing a change would be impractical this late in bog' timeline. >> could there be other problems, other issues that -- like th mcas that haven't surfaced yet because to have the relationship between boeing and the faa? >> i think everything is on thei table at tpoint. the investigations are still ongoing and i think it's really important to await the conclusions of these investigations, but what is clear is that lawmakers and federal investigators are now everyng very closely at say suspect of this plane and of the certification of it. >> natalie kiteroff with the

they bring it to the faa sometime early in september. faa, who is at boeing's side imrough the whole process, in theators with boeing, approves the planes and they get back to flying early october. then boeing can start delivering the planesarked at facilities all over the country and start gettingthe revenues and it moving again. >> all right. worst case scenario, how bad could it b >> yeah, the worst case scenario is thea finds a problem with the software fix, pushes back against boeing, says, "we're not ready to bring the planes back out again" and boeing has to halt the production line, has to furlough workers. their suppliers will not be able to continue to produce at the rate they're producing. it causes a supply chainffect affecting boeing and a lot of companies. >> let's talk reality. what do you think is most likely happen and what will be the impact on the company? >> yes, i think boeing was very careful not to announce a timeline for return of the plane until they felt i rwasdy. last week they said they felt it was goi to be e

so we want the public to put pressure so that faa certification is real. and it means that the plane is really safe to fly. right now that's not the case. >> do you think the department of justice criminal investigation and certification process as to whether faa or boeing engaged in criminal behavior could reveal, shed some light on the question too. >> so beyond that inongoing inquiry do you think the answer is more regulation, legislation? >> the answer is to not have boeing self-certify without oversight. and since 2005 faa has been more side lines and we're concerned they're a captured agency. in fact senator ted cruz when we met with him told us faa was a captured agency captured by boeing. we have to free it. >> and also that every time there's a near miss or a problem, that the faa actually address it. they don't have a process right now like we do in other industries -- car industry, medical implant industry. we look at problems, and in the industry they address them before they cause death. you know, faa is known as the tombstone agency. they onl

if boeing submits to the faa its plan software fix sometime in september, the faa is not going to fast-tracker enormous pressure to be very thorough in their analysis. once they do say, okay, we'll certify the plane for flight, the airlines say they need 30 to 45 days to train their pilots again. so just the conservative timeline now puts this well into november to december before the plane starts flying again. that, therefore, is suggested that we may not see this plane fly over thanksgiving or christmas it. >> could well be into 2020. >> in the meantime, what are we expecting out of today's hearing? is there something that it could accomplish? >> more than anything, just applies pressure, more pressure to the faa. like i said, not to fast-track this approval. it really calls into question the faa authorization certification of the plane and whether the entire process needs to change. chris, i need to also tell you that as this hearing was beginning, boeing announced $50 million to the families in near-term financial aid, part of a $100 million fund set aside for the families and the commun

and we rely on the faa for that.he faa we know is the most credible source on this in the world, and when they determine it's safe to fly and when american airlines pilots are trained well enough to fly it, everyone can know that that airplane is safe to fly. that's where we want to get to there's no rushing that process. when it's reed, it's ready doug, kelly has a question for you. >> hi, doug. southwest told us it's taking flights out of newark, moving them other to locations where they need that aircraft more because their customers on other routes are saying we need more flights. we need more seats where are -- and how are you guys going to have to redeploy planes yourself if at all? what flights, routes might be affected >> well, we're doing that today, of course. so there's nothing major going forward. we would just continue to fly much more than we're flying today. we'd certainly like to have more aircraft and grow as opposed to stay the size we are we've added part of the good news out of this quarter is the

it's the faa, it's not boeing. it's the faa, they got it wrong so they have to make sure they're meticulous in this whole process and it's taking longer >> every day there's an article, over the weekend an article about the faa outsourcing parts of their inspection process to boeing itself, then there's an article about the smaller high growth areas in the world that are buying these jets, the biggest customers for the max and they're really feeling the pain and how that's an impact. every day there's something. >> when it happened with facebook then it stopped >> and they announced the huge pieback at 125 a share for facebook mel, i listened to mr. o'leary a lot. he's trying to play poker here and he doesn't have a good hand. even though he's got all that money to spend he's playing poker, mel, because right now he is a one aircraft fleet. he just flies boeing that's all they fly. full stop, end of story, you don't have airbus mechanics on staff, and so forth. so for you to say, for instance, i'm going to go with

i will hire these guys will congress give the faa that money?tol hill of congress shortchanging the faa, so to speak. not giving them the resources or the air traffic control systems, the resources that it needs. and that will have to be resolved >> one other question, buried in that story if you read deep enough into the story, was what seemed to be an anecdote about a fight on another issue, related to the 737 max. that was these cables. there was a worry that if there was a blowout of the engine, they could ricochet and hit one of the cables. there were people that wanted a separate set of cables or wanted a software fix it sounds like boeing won that fight. the faa lost that fight. now, that the fight is public, do you think that will be revisited? if it is revisited, are these planes going to sit on the ground for a lot longer? >> i'm not sure if it may be revisited. i'm not sure it's going to lead to the planes being grounded longer this gets to the heart of the tension between faa regulators, those who are with the faa, and the aircraft m

now, there's no obvious tie, but we reported on the fact the faa had separately begun an administrative inquiry into how boeing oversees its own employees that perform regulatory functions on behalf of the faa, so there's some relation there. there's still a lot unknown at this point regarding the dreamliner itself. with the max, of course, we are waiting to see what if anything comes out of the criminal probe under way, but boeing right now is really focused on getting the max back in the air and last week's revelation that there was another unrelated software problem that the faa found is another setback for boeing. liz: well, let me just show the other side of it, obviously. we look at the backlog. folks, for those of you who don't know, when you are talking about aerospace companies like boeing, the backlog means what are the orders, are they piling up, are they coming in. boeing has a significant and this could arguably be positive, a backlog i believe for the max, right? >> well, they've got a pile of orders, thousands of orders, not just for the max but primarily 737 max, for the

that is also the faa. there are new starts that are thinking about restoring and bringing back supersonic flights. obviously, safety would be the huge concern. noise would be a second. so, the faa makes itself available to these new entrepreneurs and new technology , stakeholders to come and work early in the process with the faa so that the faa knows what's going on and then these new innovators would get a better idea as to what the regulators want. we encourage very early participation and collaboration. >> tell us a little bit about this collaboration may be a bad word but they need to let the regulars know they are not going way off stream and the regulators can tell them very early, this is the right way and this is the wrong way. >> tell us a little bit about the technology that you sent up. it is not something that i think has got enormous amount of press. what is the mission, what does that do? >> we have been hearing a lot about hyperlink. in fact i spoke with the foreman there of chicago when he

he's in trouble if he told more than he told faa pilots and airlines, they are both in trouble.k the leadership of boeing, notwithstanding its stock value now, which i think will go down to 200 within the year, the management has disinvested in new plane research development and production in order to beef up the executive compensation, their share price and all the other things that boeing would never have done, including overruling his own engineers warning about the instability of the 737 max. >> ralph, you've done a number of these crusades offense your lifetime going back to the '60s and getting the traffic law passed is this different because this is personal for you? i believe your niece was involved as a victim in one of these crashes. >> of course it's more urgent and more heart wrending and we want to make air travel safer you can't put 5,000 more 737 maxes up without assuring the traveling public and airlines of safety i've seen some of the senators and representatives who are supposed to be investigating this congress is in slow motion, a lot more investigation the s

. >> the faa has now determined that the airplane crashed a few miles off the coast of the santa cruz >> a plane crashed but no wreckage was found. mystery deepens in the case of a stolen plane out of watsonville. good afternoon, thank you for joining us. i'm ama daetz. >> i'm dan ashley. >> video released today of the plane taking off from the airport. >> investigators believe the plane crashed with no. >> reporter:s in late june after it was taken from watsonville municipal airport. >> police believe the plane was stolen by 64-year-old hugo marr. chris reyes has the details police are sharing with us tonight. >> we do have video surveillance from the night the plane was stolen that shows the airplane taxiing into the runway at about 8:30 at night. >> reporter: june 26th, investigators believe that 64-year-old watsonville hugo marr flew the single engine cessna and flew it out of the airport before crashing into the ocean. >> detectives did find hugo marr's car had been abandoned parked in a parking lot near the airport. it's a parking lot commonly use bid pilots. >> he was an active

then they will submit that package of upgrades to the plane to the faa for certification.ests the faa will take about or minimum 30 days to evaluate this package of software to determine whether they're going to recertify the plane for flight. and by the way, they have to do test flights in that process. that now means at the earliest according to this timeline, you're talking about november 1st before the faa might certify the plane. but the airlines have said it will take them one to two months to re-train and train their pilots. so it just makes sense at this point you're not going to start flying this plane again right in the middle of the christmas travel rush when you've got already customers nervous about the max. it makes a lot more sense to do a very slow re-entry in january which is really the slowest travel period of the year. i would not be surprised now if you see american airlines follow a suit, not immediately but in the coming weeks or months. but southwest flies the most 737 maxes so this impacts them the most. >> all right, tom costello, thank you. >>> co

the significant thing is this approach to interpreting the faa. it's different than what the court did in a 2001 case. .ircuit city b adamson -- v adamson involved in the same language the same statutory language in a situation where an employee was arguing he was a worker and engaged in interstate commerce because he worked at circuit city. an employee operating over stateline. the court focused on what engaged in interstate commerce means today. what it meant in 2001. he refused to focus on what the term meant in 1925 when congress power on u.s. commerce clause was sharply constrained by the supreme court. so, i think the courts approach is a better one then when they did circuit city. that's a little bit of good news. the courts are going to have to confront additional questions about who is a worker engaged in interstate commerce. especially this will come up in the economy. uber and lyft drivers engaged in interstate commerce. what about the ones who pick up people at the airport? what about ones who drive people home from new york to new jer

i think the faa did the right thing as we've always done. we have the best safety record in the world here with the faa and what they were doing is doing their data and their analysis and once through all that analysis, once we learned the right facts and data to do this thing, we have had that plane grounded and literally in five minutes the decision was made and ready to go. so, that's how we dealt with it. how we deal with it going forward, it's like this aircraft will return to flight at the right time with all the right level of support from not just the u.s., not just all the u.s. airlines but around the world so that everybody feels comfortable. it's important for people to feel comfortable back in flying so it's going to -- yes, we take a hit, there's all sorts of issues but again, remember, profitable but principled has to be -- and there's no bigger principle than you would have us have other than your personal safety. so, that's the way we'll follow it. yes, sir? >> i'm with capital intel. this is sort of a bipartisan issue which

. >> faa officials taking heat from lawmakers over the agency's we will in certifying 737 max planes.ombshell report suggests regulators found a high risk of another emergency happening after the first plane went down last year. the agency put out a warning to pilots. members of the senate subcommittee question whether that was enough. and a second plane crashes. the faa has been accused of essentially allowing boeing to monitor itself and certify its own planes. the agency certified the max. lawmakers told the agency there need to be a clear divide between the regulators and private industry. industry officials say they are open to changes to make flying in the u.s. even safer. they say they have no time time as to when the 737 max will be back in service. liz: a new record in illegal apprehensions on the rio grande sector on the border. this as 2020 democrats continue to push to decriminalize border crossing. let's bring in the former ambassador to mexico. what do you think when democrats say yes decriminalize illegal crossing in the face of these record-high numbers? >> i don't und

what does congress want. >> simply put, they want the faa to consider changes for standards. we discovered this on computers in the cockpit actually was behind the ace yachtic crash while on approach to sfo six years ago. found that the pilots on asiana flight 214 set the altitude in the cockpit wrong for the automatic pilot. and that allowed the computer to essentially fly the plane into the ground. despite looking out the window, the pilots did not take over manually flying the plane until it was too late. they've discovered. a surprising number of pilots, many trained in the u.s., many never knew on an airplane before flying on an airplane and only have rudimentary experience. many of them are now flying 747s. in this letter to acting administrator daniel elwell, they asked them to put particular requirements. to focus on making sure all can manually fly the planes and not just relee on computers. we'll stay on this story. >> thanks, stephen. >>> pg&e knew about the fire threat on their high voltagepoww hundreds of its hypos could fail and spark fires, yet the necessary up
