Boeing CEO Dennis Muilenburg released a statement in support of Ethiopian Airlines following the Flight 302 crash that killed 157 people in March.

Boeing CEO Dennis Muilenburg said the aircraft maker was"humbled and learning" from an Ethiopian Airlines crash that killed 157 people earlier this month, the second fatal crash of its popular 737 Max plane in less than 5 months.

Ethiopian Airlines said on Monday it would maintain ties with the U.S. plane maker despite questions and an investigation into its 737 Max 8 model, which was also involved in the Lion Air crash that killed 189 people in October. Since the moment we learned of the recent 737 MAX accidents, we've thought about the lives lost and the impact it has on people around the globe and throughout the aerospace community. All those involved have had to deal with unimaginable pain. We're humbled by their resilience and inspired by their courage.

Ethiopian Airlines has a proud history that stretches more than seven decades. In that time, Ethiopian has been a pioneer and a leader in our industry, launching Africa into the jet age, connecting the continent with all corners of the globe with its extensive network, and earning a reputation for service and safety. More than just an airline, Ethiopian represents the pride and progress of a great people and a symbol of The New Spirit of Africa.

Right, just cut the BS as u did not learn anything from the first crash.

I just wish Boeing had been humble enough to do a correct system safety analysis of the MCAS system and design accordingly, crew training included.

CEO would be humbled if you took his $250 million away form him and threw him in an Ethiopian prison like Carlos Ghosn in Japan

Humbled? Pathetic .

100year old company still learning. Nice.
