Washington -- Boeing's pilot training was under scrutiny on Monday as investigators analyzed data from the Ethiopian Airlines 737 Max 8 jet that crashed outside Nairobi, killing 157 people. CBS News has learned that U.S. pilots were initially given 56 minutes of training, on an iPad, about the differences between the new Boeing Max planes brought into service in 2017, and the older 737s. French investigators downloaded all the data from the Ethiopian jet's black boxes over the weekend and handed it over to Ethiopian investigators who are running the probe into the crash. Meanwhile, Boeing's 737 Max planes could remain grounded for weeks, or even months. Van Cleave said investigators still don't have enough information about the Ethiopian crash to say whether there are other issues that need to be addressed.
