American Airlines flight attendants ask carrier to ground Boeing 737 Max planes after one operated by Ethiopian Airlines crashed shortly after takeoff killing all 157 people on board.
American Airlines flight attendants urged the company to ground its 24 Boeing 737 Max airplanes after carriers around the world suspended the jets following a fatal crash in Ethiopia over the weekend, the airline's union said Tuesday.
Investigators have recovered the two black boxes from the crash site, which should provide information about what brought down Nairobi-bound Ethiopian Airlines Flight 302. That Boeing 737 Max 8 crashed in a rural area outside of Addis Ababa shortly after takeoff, killing all 157 passengers and crew, less than five months after a Lion Air Boeing 737 Max 8 went down in the Java Sea, which killed all 189 aboard.
"It is important for you to know that if you feel it is unsafe to work the 737 Max, you will not be forced to fly it," the Allied Pilots Association told its members Tuesday.
