Boeing sued by Southwest Airlines pilots over $100 million in lost pay due to the 737 MAX grounding

Pilots for Southwest Airlines have sued Boeing over $100 million in lost compensation they say was caused by the grounding of its 737 MAX plane

New York Pilots for Southwest Airlines have sued Boeing over $100 million in lost compensation they say was caused by the grounding of its 737 MAX plane.

Southwest Airlines Pilots Association, in a complaint filed Monday on behalf of the pilots, claims Boeing "deliberately" misled pilots about the safety of the aircraft, which caused two fatal crashes in less than six months killing 346 people. It also alleges the ongoing grounding of the 737 MAX — which has resulted in thousands of flight cancellations at many airlines including Southwest — has reduced the pilots' opportunities for work.
