Boeing PR has been pushing these "oh no Boeing will have to halt production", with supposedly dire consequences for the whole US economy, for months. I have seen them at least 3 times now.
This is just another effort to pressure politicians and regulators to get the Max back in service.
It also shows yet again the sad state of media. This almost reads as a Boeing press release, lacking any reflection or substantial commentary.
- liudoutang 7y agoI have the same feeling. as we know, Boeing is the one of the two biggest plane maker, and there is no hardware issue 737 Max, just a software issue. anyway, the politicians have to show a pose that they are careful about the monitor process than before.
- goatinaboat 7y agoWhat do you mean by “no hardware issue”? The root cause is that the hardware is not a 737 but is pretending to be one!
- behringer 7y agoHardware can't pretend to be other hardware...
- breakingcups 7y agoIsn't the issue a hardware issue that they tried to patch over with software?
- kjaftaedi 7y agoI've also had the same feeling about all of the articles referring to this as a "software problem". Regardless of how they're trying to address the issue, the whole idea of not installing redundant AoA sensors as the default base option was a manufacturing, engineering, and management problem in my book.
