In comments to Reuters, Canadian Transport Minister Marc Garneau said computer-based training, which some pilots had received to transition to the latest 737 MAX from older versions of Boeing's 737, would not go far enough to satisfy Canada. Boeing said it continued to work with global regulators and its airline customers as they determine training requirements in their home markets. Part of the MAX aircraft's original appeal to customers was that it did not require simulator training, which can cost about $1 million over an aircraft's life, industry sources say. Garneau said the training must include time in a simulator so pilots can rehearse the circumstances of the Lion Air crash.
