If there was an ordered shut down, my guess is that AA would start to shift fleet aircraft around - including halting all future MD-80 retirements, bringing viable MD-80s back from the desert.

This plus the Oasis cancellation fiasco going on has me so happy my travels this coming week are in seat 1A on the E175 |
I don’t care what’s going on but I’m refusing to set foot on a max until further notice. I’ll take longer trips, lose upgrades, don’t care. Something is seriously wrong here and I’m not risking my life on this aircraft |
Both of the 7M8s that crashed were heavily loaded with high passenger count. As mentioned earlier here - maybe unbalanced. And I don't always buy the "fix with software" argument.

No yes they might have filled every seat but the argument they overloaded with passengers is non sensical. If the 737 is built with 150 seats the airline should be able to put 150 butts into those seats. The aircraft in both instances took off from the ground without issue and flew for at least 6 mins you really arguing after being in the air for 6 mins too many people in the manufacturer approved seating config brought these craft down? if you believe that I’ve got something to sell you |

not sure I understand this comment. Did these airlines have passengers sitting in the aisle or standing in the lavatory without assigned seats?

My 150 number was for an example to make the point that if 150 seats are on the plane then the airline can sell 150 tickets. Just like if 189 seats are on the plane why can’t they sell 189. I’d imagine beoing installed 189 people and if lion air made a modification after delivery then that’s a different story. Doesn’t explain today’s crash |

Does it also make a difference when the avg person in either Asia or Africa, weigh quite a bit less than an avg person in US, like below 120lb versus above 150lb?

Would I personally choose to fly on a 189 seat 738? No, however that's based on personal preference/comfort, not safety. |

Not to mention the delicious Doro Wot at the cloud nine lounge - maybe my favorite lounge meal ever. |
