Pilots 'raised Boeing safety fears' months before Ethiopia crash

They urged swift action after the first deadly 737 Max crash off Indonesia in October. #Boeing reportedly resisted their calls but promised a software fix. But this had not been rolled out when an #EthiopianAirlines' 737 Max crashed four months later, killing 157 people.

Currently 737 Max planes are grounded worldwide amid concerns that an anti-stall system may have contributed to both crashes. Boeing is in the process of updating the system, known as MCAS, but denies it was solely to blame for the disasters.

In a closed door meeting with Boeing executives last November, which was secretly recorded, #AmericanAirlines' pilots can be heard expressing concerns about the safety of MCAS. Boeing VP #MikeSinnett told the pilots: "No one has yet to conclude that the sole cause of this was this function on the airplane."
