Association of Flight Attendants-CWA (AFA) President Sara Nelson said the union “supports the FAA’s quick and decisive action to ground certain 737 MAX 9 Fleet that do not meet the inspection cycles specified in the Emergency Airworthiness Directive. This is a critical move to ensure the safety of all crew and passengers, as well as confidence in aviation safety”.
Senator JD Vance, a Republican on the committee that overseas the FAA, said “the FAA has assured me the 737-MAX is safe – last night’s near catastrophe calls that determination into question”.
He added every American deserves a full explanation from Boeing and the FAA on what has gone wrong and on the steps that are being taken to ensure another incident does not occur in the future.
