US flight attendants call for grounding Boeing 737 MAX 8 planes

New York, Mar 13 (UNI) The US's Association of Professional Flight Attendants (APFA) has called on American Airlines to follow the lead of more than 40 countries around the world and ground Boeing 737 MAX 8 planes.
Dozens of countries made the call to suspend operations of the airplanes after a deadly crash killed 157 people in Ethiopia at the weekend, furthering concerns that first arose in October when a Lion Air flight crashed in Indonesia, killing 189.
The US has so far been steadfast in not grounding the planes, with the Federal Aviation Administration saying it has "not been provided data to draw any conclusions".
