Today, American Airlines announces that they will be flying 5 of their B737 MAX 8’s back and forth from Tulsa and Dallas with the Staff members onboard today and tomorrow. Hence, the decision to fly these demonstration flights–both to make sure employees are comfortable with the planes, and to try to project that confidence to customers. so today, CEO Doug Parker wanted to bring the staff members of American Airlines onboard the B737 MAX to Dallas. American then plans to return the 737-MAX to its operational fleet at the end of December in a limited role, likely months ahead of its domestic competitors.

My Opinion on this

I think this is a great thing that American Airlines did. This just proves that the B737 MAX is safe and ready to go.
