The Allied Pilots Association (APA), which represents pilots for American Airlines, is supporting Ethiopian in its claim against Boeing. APA spokesman and American Airlines Boeing 737 MAX pilot Dennis Tajer, commented that: “Who knows what Ethiopian Airlines would have done with the information, but not having it sealed the deal. Any information given the Ethiopian pilots, like we had, could have made the difference between life and death.”“Our meeting with Boeing covered the same questions that the Ethiopian pilots were asking. Boeing co-operated fully and transparently with all investigations into the accidents.”Paul G. Cassell, a lawyer representing families is critical, saying that: “It’s outrageous that Boeing refused to answer direct questions from the Ethiopian airlines pilots. That was vital safety information that would have saved 157 lives.
