Boeing hopes to deliver 737 MAX aircraft to airlines before the end of the year even if regulators haven’t approved related pilot training
By Andrew Tangel and Andy Pasztor Nov. 10, 2019 4:26 pm ET Boeing Co. BA -1.77% hopes to deliver 737 MAX aircraft to airlines before the end of the year even if regulators haven’t approved related pilot training, people familiar with the matter said.
“Subject to strict regulatory approval, we continue to complete key milestones that put us on a path to certification of the MAX in December, with training approved in January, paving the way for the safe return of the MAX to commercial service,” a Boeing spokesman said. More But related pilot training isn’t expected to be formally approved until a number of weeks after the FAA certifies the MAX as safe for flight, following a public comment period, the people said. That would effectively prevent airlines from carrying passengers until January at the earliest under the current expected timing.
Southwest and American want to train all their 737 pilots before adding the MAX back into schedules to avoid scheduling issues that could arise if only some pilots are able to operate the plane.
