Ethiopian Airlines hesitant about using Boeing Max jets
The CE of Ethiopian Airlines says his airline might never fly the Boeing 737 Max again after a deadly crash in March, and if it does, it will wait until other carriers use the plane first. Tewolde Gebremariam told NBC News that Ethiopian won't use the plane unless the airline, its pilots and passengers are convinced that it is safe. "If we fly them again, we will be the last airline to fly them again," he said. "It takes a lot of effort to convince everybody that the airplane is safe," he said. A Boeing spokesman said the company "is working closely with pilots, airlines and global regulators to update the Max and help prevent this tragic loss of life from happening again." Nearly 400 Max jets operated by dozens of airlines remain grounded around the world while Boeing works to fix flight-control software implicated in 2 accidents <br/>
