The pilots association of the US budget airline Southwest Airlines has filed a claim for loss of earnings against Boeing - in the amount of $ 100 million. For: The aircraft manufacturer had the airline and the pilots on their 737 MAX aircraft "intentionally deceived". This was stated by union spokesman Jon Weaks. The reason for the lawsuit: Southwest is the largest operator of the 737 MAX and has 34 of these aircraft in its fleet. Their global take-off ban affects more than 300,000 airline flights. Since two deadly crashes, killing 346 people in Ethiopia and Indonesia, these Airbus rival aircraft must remain grounded. (Photo: Mike Blake / Reuters) 10/8/19 4:08 AM Good morning, dear readers!
