Boeing has rolled out the largest version of the 737 - the 737 MAX 10 model. The debut was made in front of thousands of employees at Renton Mark Jenks, vice president and general manager of the 737 program said that "today is not just about a new airplane. It’s about the people who design, build and support it. This team’s relentless focus on safety and quality shows the commitment we have to our airline customers and every person who flies on a Boeing airplane.” READ: Highly respected aviation experts critical of Lion Air crash report and pilots.
