American Airlines flight attendants raise concerns about the Boeing 737 MAX
Capitalist Pig Hedge Fund’s Jonathan Hoenig, River Twice Capital president Zachary Karabell, former investment banker Carol Roth, Heritage Foundation economist Stephen Moore and FOX Business’ David Asman discuss Boeing CEO Dennis Muilenburg’s Senate hearing.
An important group whose members will be called upon to fly on the Boeing 737 Max has concerns about a relaunch.
The Association of Professional Flight Attendants (APFA) made their concerns known in a letter to Boeing CEO Dennis Muilenburg seen by Reuters.
The group represents American Airlines flight attendants.
Boeing CEO Dennis Muilenburg discusses the mistakes made by Boeing with the 737 Max on the anniversary of the first crash ahead of his testimony before Congress.
"The 28,000 flight attendants working for American Airlines refuse to walk onto a plane that may not be safe and are calling for the highest possible safety standards to avoid another tragedy," APFA President Lori Bassani said in the letter.

Bassani wants to make sure her group has all the information needed concerning the safety of sending her crews back to work once the aircraft receives FAA approval.
A Boeing spokesman said Muilenburg had received the letter and will be responding.
