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...

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.

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. |  | |

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.

I don't see how the plane can get re-certified with this type of actual design fault.

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

Does this article do a decent job of explaining issues around the 737 max? https://www.vox.com/platform/amp/bus...ndal-explained

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.

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.

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?
