Boeing dangles funds for Max simulator time ahead of return

Boeing has repeatedly missed targets for re-certifying the Max, grounded since March after two fatal crashes. Planning to line up flight simulators for Max operators began last year, before Boeing officially reversed course to support additional training for pilots, Dave Calhoun, the company's new chief executive officer, told reporters last month.. "We are working closely with customers to support their training needs as we work towards safely returning the 737 Max to service," spokesman Bickers said.. Ryanair is also in discussions with Boeing on funding for simulator sessions, one person said.. The company expects to be reimbursed by Boeing for all financial impacts of the grounding, including simulator sessions, spokesman Ross Feinstein said..
