The statement shows US regulators have no immediate intention of grounding the 737 Max 8 after this weekend’s crash that killed 157 people in Ethiopia.

What Munir has achieved with Trump is a return to normal, ironing out the post-Abbottabad crease. The White House picture gives us insight into how Pakistan survives, occasionally thrives and thinks.
We have also to ask ourselves a question – who are the owners of the airlines in India and how close are they to the ruling regimes – of all colours? Even while banning the use, one particular airline has been given time. Other day, ET Prime had an article about this particular compromising on safety through its choices – deliberate or otherwise.
Boeing itself should take the initiative to ground this aircraft. It should disable the new feature that has caused two brand new aircraft, piloted by experienced commanders, to crash, with large loss of life. It should rework the safety feature, in light of data gleaned from the crashes as well as its detailed examination. These aircraft should either return to the skies without the feature, allowing pilots to deal with the issue of stalling as they traditionally have, or with a modified, flawless feature whose attributes have been thoroughly communicated to pilots. 2. For the DGCA to mandate 1,000 hours’ experience for the Commander, 500 for the co pilot is a packet of salted peanuts. At a time when so many countries have not only banned the operation of this model from their airports, but have also stopped it’s overflight, India is falling behind the curve.
