Airline group advocates more training for Boeing 737 Max

A trade group representing hundreds of airlines is renewing its push for additional pilot training and coordination among global aviation regulators to ensure that the Boeing 737 Max is safe before it is allowed to fly again after 2 deadly crashes. If additional training is required, including the possible use of scarce MAX flight simulators, it could come at a tremendous cost to Boeing and further delay the plane's return. Airlines are already adjusting their schedules with the expectation that the plane will remain grounded for an extended period. Pilot training has emerged as a central part of fixing the plane. Boeing wants computer-based training, and FAA technical experts agree that would be sufficient. Others, however, believe pilots need to practice with the new Boeing software in flight simulators. <br/>
