The decision was made in the aftermath of the Ethiopian Airlines Boeing 737 crash earlier this month that killed an estimated 149 passengers and eight crew members on board. In an exclusive comment to CNN, US Air Force Chief of Staff Gen. David Goldfein revealed that he had ordered a review of the training procedures for military pilots of large cargo and transport planes, including the president’s Air Force One. The media outlet referred to Air Force officials who insisted that, to their mind, none of their aircraft have had issues similar to those the Boeing 737 Max 8 had. US President Donald Trump has yet to comment on the CNN report, but he has already ordered Boeing 737 MAX jets to be grounded until more information is gathered about the Ethiopian Airlines crash. The development comes after a Boeing 737 MAX 8 aircraft crashed near Ethiopia’s Addis Ababa, killing all 157 passengers and crew members on board.
