United CE Oscar Munoz vows to board airline’s first 737 Max flight

Seeking to reassure travellers, United Airlines CE Oscar Munoz has promised to board his company’s first Boeing 737 Max jet to take flight once regulators clear the aircraft to fly again. Munoz made the promise after United’s annual shareholders meeting Wednesday. He said the company also will take steps to educate customers and employees about why United feels it’s safe to resume flights of the 737 Max. Boeing has said it completed its software fix for the anti-stall system implicated in 2 crashes in October and March. However, the company has not yet submitted final paperwork to regulators or scheduled a mandatory test flight with FAA. Acting FAA administrator Daniel Elwell repeated that his agency won’t lift the grounding of the Max until it is safe. He said people eventually will get back on the plane. <br/>
