flight attendants have begged not to work on the Boeing 737 Max when it returns, union boss says

American Airlines flight attendants are "begging" not to have to work on the Boeing 737 Max when it returns to service after its grounding, the head of the union representing them said Thursday.

"I will tell you that I hear from flight attendants every day, and they're begging me not to make them go back up in that plane," Lori Bassani, the president of the Association of Professional Flight Attendants, said, according to The Dallas Morning News.

The 737 Max has been grounded around the world since March, after an Ethiopian Airlines flight carrying 157 people crashed shortly after takeoff. It was the second disaster involving the plane in six months. The other crash, involving a Lion Air plane in Indonesia, killed 189 people in October 2018

While at the same time keeping the same type rating as the 737NG. Either way, it’s costing Boeing a fortune!
