Key Takeaways:

  • FlyersRights.org, led by Paul Hudson, is challenging the FAA's decision to unground the Boeing 737 Max, citing a lack of transparency and concerns over its safety.
  • Hudson claims the FAA and Boeing have repeatedly declared the Max safe based on "secret data and testing" without addressing independent expert concerns or providing adequate pilot retraining.
  • Congressional committees and FlyersRights.org have noted insufficient cooperation and transparency from Boeing and the FAA, including the heavy redaction of documents requested under the Freedom of Information Act.

Paul Hudson has been skeptical of the FAA’s order lifting the grounding of Boeing’s 737 Max since that day last month when the agency cleared the aircraft to once again carry passengers in the US. Hudson, president of FlyersRights.org, is one of four plaintiffs named in an action before the DC Circuit Court of Appeals to challenge the FAA’s decision to allow the aircraft to fly once again.
