The US transportation secretary announced on Wednesday afternoon that no grounded Boeing 737 Max 9 would return to service “until it is safe”, after Alaska Airlines announced the cancellation of all flights on its 737 Max 9 planes at the direction of the Federal Aviation Administration.
Pete Buttigieg said he was “not putting a timeline” on when the FAA will allow the planes to resume flights.
Every plane that the US aircraft manufacturer delivers “needs to be 100% safe”, Buttigieg added.
He said he has spoken to the head of Boeing and told him the company needs to do everything it can to establish 100% confidence in its planes.
Buttigieg scared the shit out of me at first, but now that the world has gotten so crazy, maybe the McKinsey Manchurian candidate needs a second look. He would definitely get things done.
Yeah, because he’s done such a bang-up job making sure there’s oversight assuring that planes and trains are safe BEFORE accidents happen! Oh wait… 🙄
It’s a shame one of the Castro brothers didn’t do better last primary. I like both of them a lot better than the bread price fixer, but Buttigieg is most likely going to be the democratic front-runner after Biden goes.
