White House stops short of saying it's currently ‘safe' to fly on Boeing planes

[Washington Examiner] The White House claimed Friday that the Federal Aviation Administration and National Transportation Safety Board are "taking the action" to ensure that Boeing airplanes are safe to fly on in the future but did not say if President Joe Biden believes they are safe for consumers right now.

The comments come as Boeing planes have experienced a number of recent in-flight malfunctions, including the mid-air plunge of a Boeing 787 Dreamliner flight earlier this week.

White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre fielded a number of questions on the topic at Friday’s press briefing and referred specific inquiries back to the NTSB and FAA.

"We take this very seriously. The FAA takes this very, very seriously. But there’s investigations happening," she told reporters. "We stand by FAA and the actions that it is doing to take — to increase safety oversight of Boeing, and so I’m just gonna leave it there. NTSB certainly will have more to share because they are an independent agency."

"I think what Americans should know is that FAA is doing everything that it can to make sure that Americans feel safe," Jean-Pierre responded when pressed on the current safety of Boeing aircraft. "They are taking the actions. We stand by those actions to make sure that there is increased safety oversight of Boeing, and that’s what the American people should feel reassured by, that FAA is doing everything that they can to make sure that we get to the bottom of this."

#1 Nothing need be said. WH actions speak for themselves. No JAB, no V-22 ride. They got the memo.

#5 “Boeing jets come out as trans-safe; they aren’t safe but identify as safe” (I haven’t figured out how to post links to memes on here)
