American Airlines CE: Passengers should trust 737 Max if ‘best pilots in the world’ fly them
Passenger confidence about flying on the Boeing 737 Max when it finally returns to service is “not good” at present, according to the boss of American Airlines. But CE Doug Parker has told staff that travellers will trust the plane when “the best pilots in the world who don’t take airplanes up until they know everything about them, they’re comfortable doing it”. Parker said: “Polled today, which a lot of companies are doing including ours, asking people ‘How do you feel about the Max?’, the results are not good. There’s very high awareness of the issue. And there’s real trepidation about whether they would fly it today or not.” He predicted sentiment will start to change when the US regulator approves the Boeing 737 Max to fly again. <br/>
