WASHINGTON - Congressman Steve Cohen (TN-9), the Ranking Member of the Aviation Subcommittee, today questioned Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Administrator Michael Whitaker at a hearing on Boeing's Comprehensive Action Plan.

Addressing Boeing and its recent history of accidents and crashes, Congressman Cohen said:

"Now that Boeing has begun implementing its Safety and Quality Plan and the FAA has begun conducting its additional oversight, it is time to examine whether promised changes are being made and whether promised improvements are being attained…

"For America's interests, Boeing needs to get its act together."

In his questions to Whitaker, Congressman Cohen focused on new Boeing management, developments with its reacquisition of Spirit AeroSystems, supply chain challenges, and lessons the company might learn from the experience of competitors Airbus and Embraer.
