Boeing rescheduling 737 MAX conference call with airlines, while execs try to reassure employees
Originally published November 20, 2018 at 1:18 pmBoeing has rescheduled a planned Tuesday conference call with airlines to answer questions about the safety of the 737 MAX. And in an internal message to employees, CEO Muilenburg denied that a procedure to deal with the malfunction of a new flight control system is not covered in the 737 pilot manual.
The Boeing spokesman said it proved difficult to find a time that worked for all participants around the world and that the rescheduled teleconference call may not happen until after the Thanksgiving break.Separately, Boeing is offering reassurance internally to employees.
However, though the manual omits mention of MCAS, it does describe exactly how a pilot should deal with uncommanded and unwanted movements of the horizontal tail, whatever the cause may be. An emergency checklist describes a short procedure needed to cut off automated signals to the tail and stop the nose-down movements.So in Muilenburg’s message, he specifically denied reports in some media outlets that the procedure pilots need to deal with such uncommanded movements was not in the 737 pilot manual and that pilots were not trained on how to handle it.“That’s simply untrue,” Muilenburg said.His message ended by saying that Boeing will not debate details in the media so as not to “violate the integrity of the investigation.”
Uhhh isn't that what Denni just did ???
