Boeing is in talks with prominent customers about funding simulator training on the 737 Max once it's cleared to fly again in a bid to mollify airlines frustrated by a global grounding approaching a year in length
Boeing is in talks with prominent customers about funding simulator training on the 737 Max once it's cleared to fly again in a bid to mollify airlines frustrated by a global grounding approaching a year in length.
"Muscle memory doesn't happen by reading manuals or experiencing creative computer-based training modules," spokesman Dennis Tajer said. "Obviously Boeing has come to the conclusion it's not satisfactory for this. We agree."Planning to line up flight simulators for Max operators began last year, before Boeing officially reversed course to support additional training for pilots, Dave Calhoun, the company's new chief executive officer, told reporters last month.
Ryanair is also in discussions with Boeing on funding for simulator sessions, one person said. Europe's biggest discount airline already has two machines at London Stansted but may need one at its Dublin base.FlyDubai said it's waiting on the FAA and its own regulatory authority to issue directives before commenting on simulator and training requirements.
