Meeting with FAA covers a review of the early findings of investigations into two crashes of Boeing 737 Max jets
Washington/Chicago — The Federal Aviation Administration met for three hours on Friday with representatives from the three major US airlines that own now grounded Boeing 737 Max jets and their pilots’ unions to discuss two fatal crashes and the path forward.
Elwell said the operational perspective of the participants “is critical input as the agency welcomes scrutiny on how it can do better”. American and United have removed the 737 Max from their schedules until early June, while Southwest on Thursday extended the removal of its 34 Max jets to August 5, leading to about 160 daily flight cancellations during the revised summer schedule.
The plane’s certification and training have been questioned following a 2004 decision by Congress to allow manufacturers an expanded role in the FAA’s aircraft oversight.
