The Boeing 737 Max crisis continues to get more serious.
Tens of thousands of American Airlines' flight attendants fear for their safety and will not work on Boeing 737 Max planes if they return to the air in 2020, the Association of Professional Flight Attendants union's president wrote in a letter to Boeing's CEO this week, reported Reuters.
"The 28,000 flight attendants working for American Airlines refuse to walk onto a plane that may not be safe and are calling for the highest possible safety standards to avoid another tragedy," APFA President Lori Bassani said in the letter.
Lawmakers accused Boeing of knowing about flight control issues in the plane's MCAS system, which has been identified by the flight regulators as a significant factor behind both Max crashes.
The letter told Muilenburg that American Airlines' flight attendants won't step on the plane until her union has all the safety reports.
Since the grounding of the Max in March, Boeing has been desperately trying to get the planes back in the air as carriers across the world are abandoning Max orders for Airbus planes.
They will need to rebuild confidence in the Max with not just flight attendants but also the American people, along with global carriers and regulators.
