Mr. de Juniac said it was unfortunate that the FAA meeting last week didn’t spell out a timeline for the MAX’s return to flight.
Mr. de Juniac said a meeting between airlines, Boeing and regulators is likely to be held in five to seven weeks to prepare for a smooth MAX return to service. “We need to restore confidence in our industry,” he said, both related to the MAX and the certification process for planes more widely.
So, correct me if I'm wrong here. The "decadent capitalist pig", the "Pentagon puppet", the "Trump man" Daniel Elwell says that 737MAX investigation "will be driven by safety and not by schedule". Whereas the French socialist who went to the same school as the recent French president Francois Hollande, a school where Jean-Paul Sartre, no less, was a teacher once, says that MAX investigation should reach an "allignment" (whatever that is) "in terms of schedule" because - OMG!!! - summer schedule is in danger.
And he thinks rushing an investigation of this magnitude and "alligning" it to a schedule will "restore confidence in [his] industry"?!
I think, IATA needs a new CEO.
