I certainly know nothing about planes yet from the reading I've done on the 737 Max I'm a bit uneasy that these planes are still flying.
I usually subscribe to the mentality that something that had a significant issue that was fixed is overly scrutinized and thus becomes safe but in this case it seems like the decision-making involved in the making of this plane from the start was flawed, such that I'm not sure patches on patches are enough.
Someone who knows more about planes might say all the issues are unrelated but fundamentally in a system like this I think one thing is bound to affect another, and if not that, then the mentality that led to one issue is likely to have been present in the developing of other components of the system.
- intunderflow 3y agoThe FAA will never ban it because politically its untenable in the US, the only thing that could kill the Max off would be if another big regulator such as EASA refused to let the Max into their airspace.
- AdrianB1 3y agoAnd EASA, which is also politically controlled, will not do it because the US government pressure.
- kazen44 3y agoit works the same way the other way around no? airbus planes are still flying in the US even though they are currently eating boeing's lunch.
- whycome 3y agoOr some combined major crashes on US soil?
- paulryanrogers 3y agoThey could refuse to certify any new MAX planes. Grandfathering only existing planes if they are thoroughly and independently inspected.
- hanniabu 3y agoNeed a pilot strike until it's banned
- JumpCrisscross 3y ago> FAA will never ban it because politically its untenable in the US What are you basing this on?
- bluelu 3y agoCommon sense
- JumpCrisscross 3y ago> common sense How do you think we would judge someone using common sense to work out a problem in computing? Because saying the FAA is existentially deferential to Boeing is a "series of tubes" analog.
- notherhacker 3y agoBoeing is basically an extension of .gov
- Freedom2 3y agoSo it'd be .gov.boeing?
- anticensor 3y agoNo, boeing.gov, but rhetorically.
- heyoni 3y agoAnother poster above described it but Boeing managed to lobby congress into passing a law that basically says they don’t have to add a sensor that the FAA required them to.
- habinero 3y agoNo, that's absolutely not true. They can and have grounded entire aircraft lines. There's literally no reason to ban the aircraft.
