Is the count not also significant? I don't know enough about the industry to know.
I mentioned it because when I first heard that there were so many other regulatory bodies grounding the fleet, I was surprised about the FAA. When it was pointed out that many of those regulatory bodies represent countries having a handful of these planes to begin with, I was still surprised, but it made a little more sense that the FAA might have more to lose if the decision proved rash.
- kelnos 8y agoSouthwest has 35 MAX8s (out of a total of 755 aircraft)[0]. American has 24 MAX8s (out of a total of 962 aircraft)[1]. Not a trivial number for either fleet, but I imagine it won't significantly impact their business either.
