United Air CE says Boeing 737 Max's return can’t be piecemeal
Boeing’s 737 Max shouldn’t be returned to service until all airlines using the plane are ready to fly it “safely and uniformly,” said the CE of United Continental. “It can’t be just one or two” carriers that return the plane to commercial service, Oscar Munoz said. Given public concerns about the aircraft, “We have to be in lockstep to get this back up,” he said Wednesday. United has been given no time frame for regulators to clear the Max to resume flights, Munoz said. “I know what you know,” he said. The carrier has 14 of the 737 Max jets, a smaller fleet than rivals Southwest and American Airlines, with 34 and 24, respectively. The “primary focus of every conversation” United has held with Boeing on the Max has been about flight safety, Munoz said. <br/>
