It seems like the federal government could help everyone get out of this mess by subsidizing the certification and training costs associated with switching out the 737 for a new Boeing airframe. But the federal government doesn't generally think like that. In fact they still fly a ton of 737s themselves.
- ssivark 3y agoWhy should the federal government subsidise airlines if they want to be cheapskates risking safety & long term viability for a few bucks? I’d rather the government enforce the switch by regulation (if appropriate) and have the airlines + Boeing eat the cost, as punishment for bad decision making.
