Aviation experts, consumer advocates and politicians on both sides of the aisle call for FAA and airlines that operate the Boeing 737 Max aircraft in the US to ground the jets after Ethiopian Airlines crash that killed all 157 people on board.
The European Aviation Safety Agency, the lead European regulator, went further on Tuesday afternoon and announced that it would suspend all flight operations of the aircraft."There’s been very little attention that has been paid in our country to the large loss of life in both of these accidents," said James Hall, a transportation safety expert and former chairman of the National Transportation Safety Board.
The two airliners maintain that the jet series is safe, but a lack of transparency around their convictions has drawn criticism from consumer advocates and politicians. The Association of Flight Attendants also called for the FAA to ground the aircraft, though the union's president, Sara Nelson, added that the public should not jump to conclusions.
There was bipartisan agreement on this issue as 2020 presidential contender Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass. and Sen. Mitt Romney, R-Utah have said the FAA should reverse their decision and ground the planes until consumer safety concerns are addressed.
