American pilots review Boeing’s latest Max training draft

American Airlines’ pilot union is now reviewing Boeing’s latest 737 Max pilot training draft – a document the union describes as vastly more thorough than previous drafts. The Allied Pilots Association (APA) received the draft in the last two weeks, and though the union still has some concerns, it is pleased with many aspects. “We are in the middle of our review of it. We are not final on anything right now,” says APA communications committee chair Dennis Tajer. “We are very positive that there is a lot more information in this draft than we have seen before.” The FAA is the ultimate authority that will set 737 Max pilot training requirements in the USA. The agency has been working with Boeing to develop Max pilot training standards as part of the jet’s certification. The Max has been grounded since March 2019.<br/>
