The move comes just a day after the FAA's acting head said airlines don't need to keep canceling Max flights.
, who have canceled thousands of flights during the busy summer travel season and removed the Max from schedules through August.
Investigators believe the jet's MCAS flight control system, which automatically pushes the plane's nose down to prevent a stall, was implicated in two fatal crashes in Ethiopia and Indonesia that killed 346 people combined. Since the grounding in mid-March, Boeing said it completed its software fix, but has yet to validate it through a re-certification flight nor file it for official re-certification.
United CEO Oscar Munoz said this week that he plans to fly on the first 737 Max flight when the plane is put back in service. United has also said it would rebook passengers who don't want to fly on the Max jets.and pledged to help restore public confidence in the jets after re-certification.
