SUNDAY'S
SUNDAY'S DEADLY CRASH IN ETHIOPIA, IT IS NOT CLEAR WHAT
CAUSED THE PLANE TO COME DOWN.
AND NOW TO KACI FOR CLOSER
LOOK.
LOOK.
LOOK. >>
LOOK. >> THIS IS SOMETHING A LOT OF
PEOPLE ARE TALKING ABOUT, THE
LIST OF COUNTRIES GROUNDING
THE BOEING 737 MAX EIGHT, GREAT
IN THE WAKE OF THE ETHIOPIAN
CRASH, THE SECOND A CRASH IN
LESS THAN SIX MOUNTS.
WE JUST GOT OUR HANDS ON A NEW
FAA STATEMENT THAT READS IN
PART, THUS FAR, THE REVIEW
SHOWS NO SYSTEM PERFORMANCE
ISSUES AND PROVIDES NO BASIS TO
ORDER THE GROUNDING OF THE
AIRCRAFT.
AIRCRAFT.
AIRCRAFT. NOR HAVE OTHER CIVIL AVIATION
AUTHORITIES PROVIDED DATA TO US
THAT WOULD WARRANT ACTION.
HOWEVER, AS WE MENTIONED, THE
U.S. AND CANADA ARE TWO OF THE
ONLY COUNTRIES THAT HAVE NOT
GRANTED THEM.
GRANTED THEM. TAKE A LOOK AT A PARTIAL LIST
OF COUNTRIES WHICH INCLUDED THE
EUROPEAN AND UNION AND INCLUDED
A RESTRICTION FOR SOME ON THE
PLAINS EVEN ALLOWED IN THE
COUNTRY'S AIRSPACE.
COUNTRY'S AIRSPACE. IN ADDITION TO GROUNDING THEM,
THEY'VE EVEN SAID WE DON'T WANT
THEM IN OUR AIRSPACE, THERE
WERE TWO FLIGHTS EARLIER TODAY
THAT HAD TO BE TURNED ON BEFORE
ENTERING UK AIRSPACE JUST
BECAUSE OF THESE REVELATIONS
THAT HAVE COME DOWN.
AGAIN, MISSING FROM THIS LIST,
CANADA AND THE U.S. AND
PASSENGERS HAVE TAKEN THE
SOCIAL MEDIA TO EXPRESS THEIR
CONCERNS OVER THAT.
TAKE A LOOK, NOW BOEING IS
HEARING EVERYONE'S CONCERNS BUT
TWEETED THIS STATEMENT ON THEIR
OFFICIAL ACCOUNT, THEY ARE
REINFORCING THEIR CONFIDENCE IN
THE SAFETY OF THE 737 MAX 8,
THEY SAID SAFETY IS BOEING'S
NUMBER ONE PRIORITY AND THEY
REITERATE, WE HAVE FULL
CONFIDENCE IN THE SAFETY OF THE
737 MAX.
737 MAX.
737 MAX. TAKE A LOOK AT SOME OF THE
RESPONSES, THESE ARE SOME OF
THEM RESPONDING TO THAT TWEET.
LYNN SAID BY DEFINITION, YOU
CANNOT HAVE FULL CONFIDENCE
WHEN YOU DETERMINE WHAT
TRANSPIRED.
TRANSPIRED. TWO NEW JET CRASHED IN SIMILAR
CIRCUMSTANCES IN THE EARLY
MINUTES OF FLIGHT, IT IS MORE
THAN UNSETTLING TO PASSENGERS
AND VERY CONCERNING THE FLIGHT
CREW I'M SURE.
LET'S TAKE A LOOK AT ANOTHER
ONE, PARK THEM NOW UNTIL YOU
UNDERSTAND WHAT IS HAPPENING.
EVEN POLITICIANS ARE STARTING
TO WEIGH IN, MITT ROMNEY
TWEETED THIS OUT, OUT OF
ABUNDANCE OF CAUTION FOR THE
FINE PUBLIC, THE FAA SHOULD
GROUND THE 737 MAX 8 UNTIL WE
INVESTIGATE THE CAUSE OF RECENT
CRASHES AND ENSURE THE PLANES
AIRWORTHINESS.
AIRWORTHINESS. PRESIDENT TRUMP TWEETED,
AIRPLANES ARE BEING FAR TOO
COMPLEX TO FLY, PILOTS ARE NO
LONGER NEEDED RATHER COMPUTER
SCIENTIST FROM MIT.
LET'S LOOK AT HIS NEXT TWEET
THAT FURTHERS THAT, WE DON'T
HAVE IT, HE WAS TALKING EARLIER
--
--
-- >>
-- >> FINISHES, --
>> HE TWEETED MORE ABOUT
SEEKING TO GO ONE UNNECESSARY
STEP FURTHER, SPLIT THE
NECESSARY DECISIONS ARE
CATASTROPHIC IS HOUSE TWEET
CONTINUES.
CONTINUES. WILL GET TO THAT IN A LITTLE
BIT.
BIT.
BIT. LET'S MOVE ON. AMERICAN
AIRLINES, WE WANT TO ADDRESS
FOR PASSENGERS, THIS IS HOW YOU
COULD BE IMPACTED.
AMERICAN AIRLINES TWEETED THEY
ARE CONFIDENT IN THE SAFE
OPERATION OF OUR AIRCRAFT
INCLUDING THE 737 MAX NORMA
EIGHT WHICH CONTRIBUTES TO OUR
EXEMPLARY SAFETY RECORD.
UNITED AIRLINES SAYS THEY DON'T
OPERATE THE MAX 8, BUT THEY DO
OPERATE THE MAX 9. HOWEVER,
THEY REITERATE SAFETY IS THEIR
NUMBER ONE PRIORITY AND THEY
ARE VERY CONFIDENT THE 737 MAX
IS SAFE TO FLY.
AGAIN, THIS IS SOUTHWEST
AIRLINES.
AIRLINES.
AIRLINES. ALL THE AIRLINES HAVE TO
RESPOND TO DIFFERENT TWEETS.
ONE RIGHT AFTER THE OTHER.
IN RESPONSE TO A PASSENGER,
SOUTHWEST SAID YOU CAN TELL IF
YOUR FLIGHT IS ON A MAX 8 BY
GOING TO THEIR WEBSITE, PRETEND
YOU ARE BOOKING A NEW FLIGHT,
CLICK ON YOUR SPECIFIC FLIGHT
NUMBER AND IT WILL BE
DESIGNATED.
DESIGNATED. WE KNOW THIS IS A REALLY
COMPLICATED STORY, BUT AS A
PASSENGER WHO PROBABLY MIGHT BE
FLYING OVER THE NEXT YEAR, YOU
MIGHT BE CONCERNED.
LET'S SEE IF WE HAVE THE HALF
SCREEN WHERE YOU CAN SEE THE
MOST COMMON ROUTES.
THE MOST COMMON ROUTE FOR THE
737 MAX 8 IS BETWEEN NEW YORK
CITY AND MIAMI.
MIAMI ITSELF IS A MAJOR HUB FOR
THE PLAINTIFF SEVERAL OTHER
CITIES, IF YOU FLY OUT OF
SEATAC AIRPORT, THE ONLY
AIRLINE THAT FLIES THE 737 MAX
8 OUT OF SEATAC IS SOUTHWEST.
ATTORNEY TO THE SEATAC
SPOKESPERSON, THERE THREE
FLIGHTS PER DAY ON THAT
AIRCRAFT OUT OF 12 TO 1300
TOTAL FLIGHTS FROM SEATAC EVERY
DAY.
DAY.
DAY. AGAIN, LOOK AT YOUR TICKET,
THAT IS WHERE IT WILL TELL YOU
EXACTLY WHAT KIND OF AIRCRAFT
YOU ARE ON IT.
IN ADDITION TO ALL OF THIS, THE
UNION FOR FLIGHT ATTENDANTS
CAME OUT AND SAID WE WANT THE
FAA TO INVESTIGATE THIS, PLEASE
GROUNDED THESE AIRPLANES UNTIL
WE KNOW MORE OF WHAT IS GOING
ON.
ON.
ON. THIS
ON. THIS WAS THE ASSOCIATION FOR
FLIGHT ATTENDANT.
FLIGHT ATTENDANT. GLENN FARLEY WILL BE ON WITH
US, OUR AVIATION EXPERT IN 20
MINUTES TO GO THROUGH THIS.
BUT SO MANY LAYERS TO THIS AND
I FIND IT VERY INTERESTING THAT
FAA WIND OF REINFORCED THEIR
STATEMENT TODAY, NO, WE'RE NOT
GROUNDING DAYS.
GROUNDING DAYS. >> THEIR DIGGING THEIR HEELS
IN.
IN.
IN. THIS
IN. THIS IS WHAT I DON'T
UNDERSTAND, IF THE AIRLINES
THAT ARE CONTINUING TO USE THIS
JET ARE SAYING OKAY, WE'RE NOT
GROUNDING THEM, WE WILL KEEP IT
GOING, WE ARE CONFIDENT IN THE
SAFETY OF THIS MANY OF YOUR
PASSENGERS SAY WE AREN'T AND WE
WANT TO CHANGE OUR FLIGHT, AS
OF LAST CHECK, THEY WERE NOT
MAKING ANY ACCOMMODATIONS TO
PEOPLE THAT WANTED TO CHANGE
THEIR FLIGHT WHAT CHANGED?
>> IN THE LAST 24 HOURS OR SO,
IF YOU LOOK, SOUTHWEST FOR
EXAMPLE, ALWAYS FREE TO CHANGE
YOUR FLIGHT, THEY ARE
REINFORCING TO PEOPLE, I LOVE
THE TWEETS, I SAW THEY SAY WE
FEEL CONFIDENT, YOU DON'T, WE
UNDERSTAND.
UNDERSTAND. HERE IS A WAY TO CHANGE YOUR
FLIGHT.
FLIGHT.
FLIGHT. UNITED TWEETED OUT THEY WILL DO
EVERYTHING THEY CAN WITHIN
THEIR CURRENT ABILITIES IN
THEIR SYSTEM TO ACCOMMODATE
PEOPLE WHO WISH TO CHANGE.
BUT I BELIEVE AMERICAN SAID,
YOU SHALL CHANGE FEES APPLY.
>> YEAH, THAT IS WHAT I DON'T
THINK IT'S OKAY.
>> THE COMPANIES ARE CONFIDENT,
THE PASSENGERS ARE NOT.
I WISH WE COULD HEAR FROM THE
PILOTS.
PILOTS.
PILOTS. >> WE UNOFFICIALLY HEARD FROM
ONE TODAY, IT WAS TWEETED OUT
MOMENTS AGO, HE WAS ON AN
AMERICAN AIRLINES FLIGHT, THE
PILOT CAME ON AND SAID WE KNOW
YOU ARE ALL WONDERING, THIS IS
NOT EIGHT 737 MAX, HOWEVER, I
LIKE FLYING THAT ONE BETTER
THAN THIS ONE.
IT CREATES A
