Audio recordings obtained by CBS and the New York Times have revealed American Airlines pilots confronted Boeing executives with safety fears about 737 in November 2018, four months before the fatal Ethiopia crash. The recordings were secretly made during a closed-door meeting. In addition, the AFP news agency obtained a letter which said that additional instructions, issued by Boeing following the Lion Air crash, were not "sufficient" to help pilots deal with the anti-stall system known as MCAS, believed to have caused both incidents.
