Boeing's CEO is getting his day in front of Congress, and lawmakers are expected to have many questions about safety at the troubled aircraft company

Boeing 737 Max jetliners plan to be in the room, watching him. CEO David Calhoun is scheduled to appear before the Senate investigations subcommittee, which is chaired by Sen. Richard Blumenthal, D-Conn., a Boeing critic.
