Boeing has withdrawn a request for a safety exemption for its 737 MAX 7 aircraft's engine anti-ice system, which would have allowed the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to expedite the certification process. This decision follows a mid-air cabin blowout incident on a 737 Max over Oregon in January and comes amid heightened scrutiny over Boeing's quality control and safety issues. The exemption was described as potentially catastrophic. Boeing's CEO, Dave Calhoun, is set to deliver the company's fourth-quarter results while facing the most significant safety crisis since the two fatal 737 MAX crashes. Democratic Senator Tammy Duckworth had called on the FAA to reject Boeing's petition, citing the need to prioritize the flying public's safety.
