In an April 2017 exchange of instant messages, two employees expressed complaints about the MAX following references to issues with the plane\u2019s flight management computer. \u201cThis airplane is designed by clowns who in turn are supervised by monkeys,\u201d one unnamed employee wrote.<\/p>\n<p>In one message dated November 2015, which appears to shed light on lobbying methods used when facing demands from regulators, a Boeing employee notes regulators were likely to want simulator training for a particular type of cockpit alert. \u201cWe are going to push back very hard on this and will likely need support at the highest levels when it comes time for the final negotiation,\u201d the employee writes.<\/p>\n<p>The planemaker said some communications \u201craise questions\u201d about Boeing\u2019s interactions with the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) in connection with the simulator qualification process. In releasing redacted versions of what it called \u201ccompletely unacceptable\u201d communications, Boeing said it was committed to transparency with the regulator.

The messages include some from a former Boeing senior technical pilot, Mark Forkner, Boeing officials said.
