The U.S. House of Representatives unanimously passed a similar bill the same week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>See also: <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/en\/2020\/12\/boeing-hires-pilots-to-help-return-of-737-max.html\">Boeing hires pilots to help return of 737 MAX.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On Friday, Republican lawmakers released a 102-page report that found Boeing officials &#8220;improperly trained&#8221; test pilots during the 737 MAX recertification efforts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The committee said it appeared that FAA and Boeing officials &#8220;were trying to cover up important information that could have contributed to the 737 MAX tragedies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Senate Commerce President Roger Wicker said the report found &#8220;significant examples of failures in aviation safety oversight and failed leadership in the FAA. It is clear that the agency requires consistent oversight to ensure that its work to protect the flying public is fully and properly executed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Related
