Investigators say many Federal Aviation Administration inspectors who worked on pilot-training standards for the grounded
Boeing 737 Max and other planes were themselves unqualified and insufficiently trained.
The U.S. Office of Special Counsel also says the FAA gave a
Senate committee misleading answers when the panel asked about the issue.
"The FAA's failure to ensure safety inspector competency for these aircraft puts the flying public at risk," Special Counsel Henry Kerner said Tuesday.
