Boeing is hiring up to 160 pilots to join the airlines in its latest bid to ensure that its 737 MAX has a smooth return after 20 months on the ground, according to a recruitment document seen by Reuters<\/a> and someone familiar with the issue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new “Global Engagement Pilots” will act as instructors or cabin observers on 35-day assignments with an equivalent annual salary that could reach $200,000, for a potential total cost of $32 million, one of the people said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The unusual series of hires is part of a campaign by Boeing to protect the relaunch of its redesigned 737 MAX from operational failures and rebuild confidence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The strategy also includes 24\/7 surveillance of 737 MAX flights worldwide and discussion points for flight attendants to reassure passengers who express concern.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pilots must have 1,000 hours of instructor experience and “no incidents, accidents, losses or violations,” and be licensed on the 737 and other Boeing aircraft, he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“We continue to work closely with regulators and customers worldwide to get the 737-8 and 737-9 back into service safely around the world,” a Boeing spokeswoman said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Boeing and the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) have said the aircraft is one of the safest in the world after improvements in cockpit software and pilot training.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A smooth return to service is considered vital for Boeing, which faces $20 billion in grounding costs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
