‘It is important for you to know that if you feel it is unsafe to work the 737 Max, you will not be forced to fly it.’
Flight attendants are calling on the Federal Aviation Administration to conduct an investigation into the safety of the Boeing 737 Max 8 aircraft BA, -6.36%
‘The second accident in less than five months involving the same model airplane gives rise to concerns and a quick jump to conclusions that undermine full confidence in the aircraft type.’ —Sara Nelson, international president of the Association of Flight Attendants “We fully support the investigative process and caution the public to avoid drawing conclusions prior to uncovering the facts of the incident,” Nelson wrote.
Last fall, multiple pilots unions expressed concerns that Boeing did not disclose new features that were implemented in the flight-control system on the 737 Max aircraft. Boeing subsequently issued a bulletin to clarify flight procedures for the aircraft, and the FAA made an emergency directive stipulating that airlines must update their flight manuals.
“The FAA continuously assesses and oversees the safety performance of U.S. commercial aircraft,” it added. “If we identify an issue that affects safety, the FAA will take immediate and appropriate action.”
