Pilots from Southwest Airlines have launched a lawsuit against the Southwest Airlines Pilots Association over claims the aircraft manufacturer deliberately misled them regarding the safety of its 737 Max aircraft. The case, brought by Boeing, claims the Southwest Airlines Pilots Association withheld critical safety information from both its workers and the general public in an attempt to deceive them. Southwest was the largest operator of the Southwest Airlines Pilots Association's Max aircraft before the planes were grounded, with the union claiming its pilots have lost over $100m in wages as a result.
