The US aviation regulator failed to ground Boeing’s fleet of 737 Max
aircraft even after its own analysis showed it was far more
accident-prone than most aircraft.

A study commissioned by the Federal Aviation Administration following
the first of two fatal accidents involving the Max showed that the
aircraft was likely to crash much more than would normally be
expected, a congressional committee revealed on Wednesday.

The findings were revealed during the latest in a series of hearings
into the two accidents, which have caused one of the biggest crises in
Boeing’s history


American wants to fly NYC to Miami with the Max. Hopefully the route is close to
emergency landing sites. Don't stray too far over the Ocean AA.
