737 Crash Could Have Been Prevented If Boeing Took Pilots' Concerns Seriously

Description

American Airlines' pilots' union is calling Boeing's response to two fatal plane crashes "inexcusable". CNN reporting that the union claims that the crashes might not have happened if the company had listened to pilots. Dennis Tajer, a spokesman for Allied Pilots Association, told CNN Business that Boeing had "a poisoned, diseased philosophy" for a global company. Both Boeing's CEO and the Federal Aviation Administration have said that the pilots were in part to blame for the recent Lion Air and Ethiopian Airlines crashes. Both planes were Boeing 737 Max 8 planes. Tajer pointed instead to Boeing's software, about which he said American Airlines' pilots had expressed concerns in a November 2017 meeting with the company. The meeting was a few weeks after the Lion Air crash, but months before the Ethiopian Airlines crash. It would be fair to conclude, Tajer said, that if Boeing had taken the suggestions of the pilots, the Ethiopian Airlines crash might have been prevented.
