Just set them on fire at this point. I'm never gonna set foot on one of these planes.

Southwest Airlines said the plane returned to the airport after pilots reported a "performance issue'' with one of the engines.
This could be a different issue? or they could just be covering it up..

That's scary AF because if it was a MCAS issue, FOR SURE every pilot in the world would know how to shut it off now...

Gumby 03-27-2019 05:41 PM
Seems like a different issue, and the only reason it made the news is because the 737 max 8 is currently under a microscope.

Pretty sure it was an engine failure. Irrelevant.

Some are just jumping on the bandwagon. I even heard a rumour Sunwing is jumping on the train too. Great PR for them to get a “safe” reputation. Mean while, the big players are keeping things going.

The flight attendants are getting worried now, and I don’t blame them. There isn’t much information out there and they really do not have the knowledge to make a knowledgeable decision.

When you start seeing unionized pilots walking off the line using a right to refuse unsafe work, that is when I would be getting worried as a passenger. Until that point, buy some Boeing stock, and in a few days reap the benefits.

Life is cheap when it isn't related to you. Back up the truck boys.

Think of all the money that can be made off these tragedies! :toot:

Few days, few weeks, few months, few ye.... so I shouldn’t be a stock broker. The rest remains true. But as you can see from these posts, the public is spooked. The long process will have to be seen through.

Some more news and analysis from Leeham News. Pretty damn scary. They disengaged the MCAS but were unable to regain control of the elevator trim and get the attitude fixed.

I was just about to post a similar article. If that is true, now we are into some serious Boeing doo doo, and I will be the first to say I could be wrong.

68style 04-03-2019 10:25 AM
I don't see how the plane can get re-certified with this type of actual design fault.

Nlkko 04-03-2019 12:22 PM
All these carriers bagholding the 737 Max 8 gonna hike price to make up for these lemon scrap metals. Looking at you, Air Canada.

Wasn't it not too long ago that Boeing blocked the sale of 737 competitors by Bombardier to Delta?

Gumby 04-03-2019 01:34 PM
Does this article do a decent job of explaining issues around the 737 max?

Stock price of Airbus rising.

Personally I’d rather fly a 737 max than any Bombardier jet.

hud 91gt 04-03-2019 04:39 PM
Lol I’m curious your reasoning? From what I’ve heard, the new A220 is apparently amazing. Bombardier has also made solid planes. Minus the Q400’s wheel issues, it is one of a kind. Old Bombardiers are solid as a rock.

Nlkko 04-03-2019 04:42 PM
I'll fly any plane that doesn't kill me because of a known issue that pilots couldn't do shit to correct. :)

All the embarears (sp) i've been on have been more uncomfortable than the 737's, and thats saying A LOT imo..

While Boeing clearly has their shortcomings in terms of being inept, you'd have to think Bombardier is as bad, if not worse than Boeing just from an operations standpoint.

hud 91gt 04-03-2019 05:25 PM
But Embreaer is Brazillion. That says enough. Lol. I think the 190/175 was a good plane. Have a few hours in that bird too. But it’s no Boeing, but the 190 being the largest Embraer is substantially smaller (fuselage diameter) then any Boeing. Different class. But Bombardier makes good planes and I’m excited to get my hands on the new one. Err Airbus. Yuck. I hate airbus. Lol

Two different companies bro. Unless I'm missing something in this thread, how did Embraer get dragged into this. Did someone do a ghost edit?

^No he's just a moron. Lol.
