An Ethiopian Airlines flight has tragically gone down with all 157 people killed only 6 minutes into a trip to Nairobi. When it was unveiled in 2017, the new Boeing 737 MAX 8 was touted as the “most reliable aircraft” in the world, promising to change the way we fly. “The new MAX aircraft have been stretched to have over 200 seats. If there is an “uncommanded nose-down stabiliser trim” on the Max, pilots can counteract it by pushing a switch on their control yoke. Southwest is in contact with Boeing and “remains confident in the safety and airworthiness of its fleet of more than 750 Boeing aircraft,” spokesman Chris Mainz said in a statement.
