Boeing warns it may stop 737 Max production
- luigi23 7y agoI would only believe in Boeing's good intentions when: - they were completely honest about issues and improvements - open(like OSS) process of creating 'new' model Then they could name it 738, 737Super, whatever. They can't scrap this project, but they can make it clear, for the benefit of passengers and company.

- me_me_me 7y agoWarns who exactly? I don't really see any airline passenger be saddened but the fact they will not be flying 737 MAX (or rebrands).
- chrisseaton 7y ago> Warns who exactly? Investors, suppliers (and suppliers of suppliers, etc), employees, contractors, buyers, integrators, maintenance companies, etc. All people who'd need to know that they are possibly shutting down production.
- mtgx 7y ago"Hey everyone who's learned about our 737 max plane scandal, we've just killed it, okay? It's dead and buried. We promise you'll never see a 737 max-branded plane in flight ever again. Good? Fantastic!" Boeing proceeds to repackage and rebrand the 737 max under a different name. https://news.yahoo.com/boeing-may-rebrand-737-max-210617942.html https://news.yahoo.com/boeing-may-rebrand-737-max-210617942....

- plasma 7y agoIs there any voice unconnected to Boeing, that has authority and the pilot and passenger interests at heart on this matter? Is the FAA and other industries unmoved by the company’s financial woes (as they shouldn’t), or is there pressure on these industries to let the broken plane back into circulation? The press I’ve read from Boeing and their leaks on the matter don’t inspire confidence or trust; and I worry they have compromised the industries that are supposed to look after us.
