Air Canada pilots reviewing aircraft systems on Boeing's MAX jets

Air Canada said Thursday its Boeing 737 MAX pilots were reviewing aircraft systems and alternative flight conditions for the grounded planes, and the carrier would decide on further training pending final recommendations from regulators. Wednesday, Canadian transport minister Marc Garneau called for pilots to receive simulator training for Boeing’s new 737 MAX software, going beyond a draft report by a US FAA-appointed board, which recommended additional training without requiring a simulator. Air Canada said it was the only carrier in the US and Canada with 737 MAX simulators. The carrier said it was pleased to see the Canadian govt take a “rigorous approach” in how it weighs its requirements for reintroducing the jets into service. <br/>
