WASHINGTON, March 11 (Reuters) - U.S. Transportation

Secretary Pete Buttigieg said he expects Boeing ( BA ) to cooperate in

investigations by the Justice Department and National

Transportation Safety Board into the Jan. 5 Alaska Airlines 737

MAX 9 mid-air emergency.

"We respect the independence of DOJ and NTSB doing their own

work, but we're not neutral on the question of whether Boeing ( BA )

should fully cooperate with any NTSB us word because they

should," Buttigieg said at a press conference
