The U.S versus the world: Politics clouds the Boeing Max disasters GlobeBusiness
Let’s unpack Donald Trump’s tweets about aviation, he being a noted aviation expert, of course. He actually owned an airline, the Trump Shuttle, for three years before it went belly up, financially speaking, in 1992. But that’s another story.
In effect, Mr. Trump was coming to the defence of Boeing even as prominent U.S. lawmakers, among them senators Dianne Feinstein, Ted Cruz and Mitt Romney , called for the 737 Max planes to be grounded. Two of the largest unions representing flight attendants also called for the planes to be removed from service until investigations can determine what caused the crashes.
By Wednesday afternoon, the plane was virtually absent from the skies, except over America. “What we’re looking at here is almost a rebellion against the FAA,” Jeffries International aerospace analyst Sandy Morris told Bloomberg. “It’s the first time I’ve ever seen this happen.”
