American Airlines plans to use its own execs as guinea pigs to convince people the 737 Max won't crash again
American Airlines says it will fly its senior executives on the Boeing 737 Max before passengers, to prove the aircraft is safe. The plane is currently grounded worldwide, but is due to return to the skies after a software upgrade is approved by the US Federal Aviation Administration . A recent poll found that 41% of Americans would not consider flying on the plane until it had been back in service for six months: an obvious problem for airlines trying to sell seats.
