WASHINGTON (Reuters) – The union representing about 10,000 Southwest Airlines (NYSE:) pilots told Reuters on Friday it supports an effort in Congress to extend an exemption from modern cockpit alerting requirements for the Boeing (NYSE:) 737 MAX 7 and MAX 10 airplanes.
Boeing faces a December deadline to win approval from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) of the 737 MAX 7 and 10 variants, or it must meet new modern cockpit-alerting requirements that could significantly delay the plane’s entry into service.
