"Boeing Withdraws 737 Max 7 Safety Exemption Requests Amid Safety Crisis"
TL;DR
Boeing has withdrawn its request for a safety exemption for its 737 Max 7 aircraft after facing opposition from Senator Tammy Duckworth, who raised concerns about the potential risks associated with the exemption.

Boeing stated that it will instead incorporate an engineering solution during the certification process, and the FAA deferred comment to Boeing.
