I wonder whether those flights will happen on those planes. There are only a few hundred MAXs in existence, and now two new ones have failed. Grounding the fleet wouldn't feel like an overreaction to me.
- leesalminen 8y agoAgreed. Debating booking a refundable ticket on another airline that doesn’t fly MAX in case of a grounding this week.

- cjbprime 8y agoLooks like China's grounded all of theirs now.
- StreamBright 8y agoAbsolutely. However, which group would you belong to later on: - the one that avoided flying MAXs and it turned out to be something else - the one that avoided flying MAXs and it turned out to be a problem with the MAX - the one that did not avoid flying MAXs and it turned out to be something else - the one that did not avoid flying MAXs and it turned out to be a problem with the MAX I think it is much safer to be in the first two and potentially being labeled paranoid later on worst case.
- cjbprime 8y agoI'm not sure why you say "however" or think we disagree. Maybe you misread my "wouldn't feel like an overreaction" as "would feel like an overreaction"? I agree with grounding the fleet, especially if it's the case that an MCAS software update was already being prepared but not yet deployed.
- StreamBright 8y agoYeah exactly that. :)
