AFA Testifies Before the House Transportation and Infrastructure Sub-Committee on the Status of the Boeing 737 MAX.
On June 19, 2019, AFA testified before the House Transportation and Infrastructure Sub-Committee on the Status of the Boeing 737 MAX.
AFA International President Sara Nelson stated:
"Flight Attendants continue to receive questions from the traveling public about the 737 Max. There remains confusion about the progression of 737 aircraft models. It is common for crew to receive questions when working the 737NG about whether the aircraft is safe. This signals a fundamental question about the progression of the 737 aircraft models and whether or not the Max should have been designed as an entirely new aircraft type. This is an example of questions that will need to be answered within the process to safely return the 737 Max to flight and regain public confidence."
Flight Attendants are encouraged to read her full testimony and to remain informed and educated about the situation with the 737Max and how it effects our profession, and careers.
