Ethiopian Airlines crash: Families to subpoena US operators of 737 Max

Lawyers representing families of passengers killed in a Boeing 737 Max crash in Ethiopia in March are set to issue subpoenas to Southwest Airlines and American Airlines, the 2 biggest US operators of the jet, according to documents seen by Reuters. The subpoenas will be issued over the next couple of days, the lawyers separately told Reuters. The lawyers want to know what Boeing promised potential airline customers about flight crew training and the 737 Max certification process, and its communications with the 2 airlines following a Lion Air crash in Indonesia Oct 29, 2018, and before the Ethiopian Airlines crash March 10. While families of the Lion Air crash victims are in settlement talks with Boeing, the Ethiopian crash victims are pursuing a jury trial. <br/>
