The max fleet had already been grounded multiple times, the world did not end.
- DiggyJohnson 3y agoIt was only for a few days, and it was extremely impactful. This was only the 737-MAX fleet that was grounded, which is primarily used for regional routes. The MAX is never used or configured for cargo at this moment. More importantly, this was only the MAX generation of the 737 fleet. Only ~15% of all 737s in service. I interpreted the poster as suggesting that we ground all Boeing commercial airplanes. If they just meant the 737 MAX fleet, I still think this would be unproductive now that the acute MCAS issue has been addressed, but it's not as ludicrous as grounding ~60% of the world's airplanes.
