## Transcript

Thank you very much for being here. I know that you've all been following the terrible tragedy of the Ethiopian Airlines crash this weekend, tragic. The FAA is prepared to make a announcement very shortly regarding the new information and physical evidence that we've received from the site and from Other locations, and through a couple of other complaints we've had a very very detailed group of people working on the 737- 8, and the 737- 9 new airplanes. We're gonna be issuing an emergency order of prohibition, to ground all flights of the 737 Max 8, and the 737 Max 9, and planes associated with that line.

I've spoken to Elaine Chao, Secretary of Transportation, Dan Elwell Acting Administrator of the FAA. And to Dennis Muilenburg, CEO of Boeing, and they'll be available shortly after our conference today. They are all in agreement with the action. Any plane currently in the air will go to it's destination and thereafter be grounded, until further notice. So, planes that are in the air will be grounded, if they are the 737 Max will be grounded upon landing at the destination. Pilots have been notified. Airlines have been all notified. Airlines are agreeing with this. The safety of the American people and all people is our paramount concern.

Our hearts go out to all of those who lost loved ones To their friends, to their families in both the Ethiopian and the Lion Airlines crashes that involved the 737 Max aircraft. It's a terrible, terrible thing. Boeing is an incredible company. They are working very, very hard right now And hopefully they'll quickly with the answer. But untill they do, they play [ INAUDIBLE ] grounded. And you'll be hearing from the FAA directly a little while which say probably in 45 minutes from now. So you'll be prepared to hear. They're gonna go into greater detail as to what they found and where we're going, what we're doing But all of those planes are grounded, effective immediately, okay?
