Steve Dickson laid out the Federal Aviation Administration's next steps in the recertification of the Boeing 737 MAX in the first month of his new term as FAA administrator, but now he's heading to Seattle to get in the simulator himself.
Dickson said that as the recertification process continues the safety of the 737 MAX is to be determined. Dickson said he will not recertify the plane until he feels comfortable flying the plane himself, or putting his own family on it:"My job is to make sure the airplane is safe." "There's a lot of innovation going on both in commercial aviation and other segments of the industry," Dickson said."We need to make sure that we're ahead of that change, both from a workforce perspective, from a skills perspective and from a technology perspective."
