737 Max 8 pilots transitioned with self-administered online course

CNN  

CNN — Pilots transitioning to the Boeing 737 Max 8 aircraft from older 737 models were given a short, self-administered online course that made no mention of a new system now at the center of two crash investigations, pilots’ unions spokesmen for two American carriers told CNN. Pilots of Southwest Airlines and American Airlines took courses – lasting between 56 minutes and three hours – that highlighted differences between the Max 8 and older 737s, but did not explain the new maneuvering characteristics augmentation system, know as MCAS, the spokesmen said. 737 Max 8 transition courses did not explain the new maneuvering characteristics augmentation sysmtem which is at the center of two crash investigations, according to pilots' unions. On November 27, one month after the Lion Air crash, the American Airlines pilots’ union met with Boeing representatives in Texas to convey “serious concerns about the issues raised by the Lion Air 737 Max accident and ongoing investigation,” according to a statement from the union.
