An aviation expert has issued a warning regarding the safety of Boeing 737 Max planes in the wake of recent incidents. Former Boeing 737 factory senior manager and whistleblower, Ed Pierson, has reacted to the FAA administrator’s claim that he would fly on a Boeing 737 Max 9 plane following the Alaska Airlines incident.
These comments come amidst concerns about the safety of the Boeing 737 Max series, which has been the subject of intense scrutiny following two fatal crashes in 2018 and 2019. Pierson’s warning raises further questions about the safety and reliability of these aircraft.
The Boeing 737 Max planes were grounded worldwide for nearly two years after the crashes, and only recently have started to return to service. However, Pierson’s remarks cast doubt on the reassurances given by aviation authorities and Boeing regarding the safety of these aircraft.
As the aviation industry continues to grapple with the fallout from past incidents and work towards rebuilding public trust, the concerns raised by Pierson serve as a stark reminder of the ongoing challenges facing the Boeing 737 Max series.
