Boeing Withheld in Full on New 737 Max Planes According to Pilot Group.
BALDWIN: A pilot's group tells CNN that Boeing withheld information about potential hazards on the model of plane involved in last month's deadly Lion Air crash. The "Wall Street Journal" first reported that Boeing was aware of problems with new flight control features. The flight crashed off the waters of Indonesia, killing all 189 people on board. So, Rene Marsh has been reporting on this. She is our CNN aviation and government regulation correspondent. And Rene, why would Boeing let them fly the plane?</s>RENE MARSH, CNN AVIATION AND GOVERNMENT REGULATION CORRESPONDENT: Right. Brooke, I spoke with the pilots at the Allied Pilots Association. They are the labor union representing airline pilots. And they told me that Boeing failed to warn pilots about a potentially dangerous feature in this new Boeing 737, specifically the MAX 8 and MAX 9. That there is this flight control system which is supposed to help pilots avoid raising the nose of the plane too much and stalling. What pilots say is that they didn't know was that this plane system automatically pushes the plane's nose down in the event of a stall, in a very sudden and dramatic way. And the point they're making is that, you know, the plane is safe, but by not communicating all the information about how the plane systems work, that is what creates the danger -- Brooke.</s>BALDWIN: Glad they're talking about it now. But how incredibly tragic for 189 people and their families. I know we'll hear so much more on this from you, I'm sure, in the coming days and weeks ahead. Rene Marsh, thank you very much from Washington. I'm Brooke Baldwin. Thank you so much for being with me for the last two hours. Let's send it to Jake. "THE LEAD" with Jake Tapper starts right now.
