that is an extremely dramatic way of saying the FAA now requires you to put the 3 printed pages Boeing Issued at the front of your flight manuals. Those 3 pages are simply a reminder on procedure that is included later in the manual... |

Dennis Tajer, a long time AA pilot who flies the 737 MAX and is the spokesperson for APA, said: "Boeing broke his trust..."
Me, next month when I fly the beast, will try to engage the flight crew (if possible) as to whether they aware of MCAS and if they know about STAB TRIM and the cutoff switch |
an engineer I know who works for WN laughed it off and said their pilots knew all about it. so who knows. |
Out of caution, AA should ground all of their 737 MAX for at least 20 years, every other airline can fly them, only AA needs to ground them. ;)

With the 2nd crash, if Boeing doesn't ground the aircraft, I certainly hope that AA takes it out of service and delays future deliveries. I will not be booking any 7M8 flights on AA.

I was already a little nervous about the Max 8 after the Lion Air crash a couple months ago. Boeing has a serious issue on its hands now. May be a major design flaw with the engines and center of gravity. Or maybe just needs a total redesign of the flight control software. Either way, we may see a total grounding of the aircraft type. |
The optics of this look really bad and I'm betting there are some full freakout sessions taking place in Seattle and Chicago today.

Anyone who has flown this plane on the densified AA version knows how horrible this plane is.Now that it is proving to be unsafe also makes avoiding this plane an easy decision.Unfortunately MIA has so many of this type that it will not be easy.

While the safety issues are clearly very important, I’m afraid it will distract from the still very relevant densification issues. Parker can point to the safety issues and say “See, that’s why folks are avoiding this aircraft.” and steam forward with densification. |

This topic has been addressed elsewhere on FT, so don't want to elaborate here other than to note another one of the brand new ones just went down...

How is it proving to be unsafe? There hasn't been a final report on either crash to definitively say what the direct cause was.

2 crashes of brand new planes is enough "proof" for me.Please find any other instance where 2 new planes of a certain type have crashed within months of certification for no apparent explanation.I am sure that they will be safe for you but not for me until they figure out what is going on.
