Btw, there's a 737 MAX update Sept 24 from blancolirio about Boeing and the FAA hammering out modifications to training and systems that will eventually put the idle birds back in the air.

The EASA is aiming for November recert. FAA was last aiming for a no earlier than October for a final published AD to bring it back.
- pixl97 6y agoIs anyone going to fly on them at this time is another question.
- AJ007 6y agoMost of the US airlines will end up bankrupt in the next 12 months which will give the re-organized companies a lot of contractual leeway in deciding what planes they really want to fly. I would discount anything Boeing says or does at this point. Their financial outlook is tied to the airlines but worse. The upside is the assumption of federal bailouts for Boeing are morning likely than those for airlines. Whether or not that outlook retains Boeing's current equity holders is another issue.

- somurzakov 6y agonews are goinna spread quickly, there will be articles, blog posts etc - and consumers are going to notice and choose non-MAX planes.
- advanced-DnD 6y agoI usually more inclined to fly with a380 over 777 when given the choice. I'm researcher so my travel is much more flexible and has more option. im also not american, the patriotism of flying boeing is lacking from me.
- tzs 6y agoI will not...but I dislike flying sufficiently that I won't fly on anything else, either. For people who actually do fly, there is not really a good reason to avoid it after it is cleared by several national regulators (several in case you don't trust the FAA) to fly again. When that thing gets back in the air the systems that were involved in the two crashes are going to be among the most scrutinized and independently reviewed systems on any plane designed in the last 20 years. You may still die on one, but it will be due to something other than anything related to MCAS.
