Leader of American Airlines pilots wants candour from Boeing
The new president of the American Airlines pilots' union says his group will help assure the public that the Boeing 737 Max is safe when it is cleared to fly again. But Eric Ferguson also says Boeing needs to fully explain how the Max differs from previous versions of the 737 — something Boeing failed to do when it rolled out the new model. "We can't know what we do not know, so we are expecting full disclosure of every modification to the air frame," Ferguson said Monday. "When we see Allied Pilots Association pilots operating the airplane, the flying public can be assured that it is safe to operate, we will not compromise in that area," Ferguson said. He added that the pilots "will participate as necessary to assure the public that it is safe." <br/>
