It has been 12 days since the Federal Aviation Administration grounded the Boeing 737 MAX 8, and airlines are warning of more flight cancellations to come. American Airlines, which has 24 MAX planes in its fleet, said Sunday it would extend cancellations through April 24. Those concerns started when a brand-new Boeing 737 MAX 8 crashed in Indonesia in late October, killing 189 people. Those criticisms reached a fever pitch earlier this month when another Boeing 737 MAX 8 crashed in Ethiopia under similar circumstances. As recently as that morning, Boeing and the FAA maintained that the MAX planes were safe to fly.
