couldn't make it 3 sensor that would change the certification (obviously they can now) but I wonder what this means for Southwest Air. The whole reason the MAX exists is because of Southwest. If southwest didn't throw their weight around and loudly announce they were considering Airbus, the MAX would likely exist in a non-737 configuration right now.

  Yes, Boeing agreed to pay Southwest $1 million per airplane if retraining was required.

    And now retraining is required and we still have the MAX abomination. It’s not a bad plane, I’d happily fly on it again.. it’s just a dumb fuselage for modernizing a fleet
