Crashing the 737 MAX

2019

Synopsis

Which airplane type are you going to choose to book your flight? The Federal Aviation Administration (F.A.A.) grounded Boeing’s fleet of 737 MAX airplanes for safety reasons after hundreds of people died in two 737 MAX plane crashes. How did the airline industry, previously known for safety, become unsafe? This book provides insights and answers by me, a former F.A.A. employee and former teacher at the F.A.A. Academy. I’m writing this book to expose the bad decisions, corporate greed, and government failings that others won’t expose so that flight safety can prevail once again and you don’t have to think hard about which airplane to take.
