We have very strong concerns about the recapitalization and how it is actually synchronized.

If we didn't pay Members of Congress, we wouldn't shut down in the first place.

We know we are not where we should be on the Polar Security Cutter program.

There is nothing about this budget that demonstrates a respect for the growing and critical nature of your missions.

We ought to stop treating you like an afterthought.

It was 'unconscionable that a manufacturer, the FAA, and the airlines would have pilots flying an airplane without adequately training.'

How can it be that we didn't tell the pilots about MCAS?

I express my sadness at the loss of the individuals and for the parents to be present here, and all the relatives.

My deepest concern is the growing evidence that Congress has allowed the FAA to delegate increasingly more authority to Boeing to certify the safety of its own airplanes--which is directly jeopardizing the lives of air travelers.

It just seems like common sense should have taken control.

Has the FAA considered requiring that pilots that fly the MAX get simulator training?

So the opposite of data is common sense?
