March 13: High anxiety over 737 Max 8 planes. Plus other letters to the editor GlobeDebate
DARRYL DYCK/The Canadian Press
..................................................................................................................................I am scheduled to fly on a 737 Max 8 in several weeks and am far from reassured by the bromides from Transport Minister Marc Garneau .Mr. Garneau acknowledged this week that the cause of the crash could be one of “dozens of different possibilities.
The extent of the malfunctions obviously raises questions as to the adequacy of the recommended pilot procedures for disabling the faulty stall-recovery system, which to my knowledge has never been put to the test. The Minister should heed the plea of the Canadian pilots’ union to give priority to public safety.
