Boeing 737 Max is safe to fly again according to Europe’s aviation regulator

Boeing 737 Max is safe to fly again, Europe’s aviation regulator says
LINK
Europe’s aviation regulator has declared Boeing’s 737 Max aircraft safe to fly after it was grounded in March 2019 following two accidents that left 346 people dead.
Patrick Ky, executive director of the European Union Aviation Safety Agency, told Bloomberg Friday that he’s satisfied with the changes Boeing has made to the aircraft, adding that the aircraft could return to the region’s skies before the end of 2020.
The announcement comes even though Boeing is yet to implement a software upgrade that his agency demanded. It could be two years before it’s ready.
After more than half a year with no orders, Boeing announced that it had sold two 737 Max planes to Polish charter airline Enter Air in August.
Boeing and the European Union Aviation Safety Agency did not immediately respond to a CNBC request for comment.
I have to admit, the Boeing 737 MAX-10 is a nice looking plane. This is a photo of it in United's livery. UAL has 100 on order.

I flew on one in 2019 before they were grounded. It was a 737max8 with Southwest. They're perfectly fine aircraft and with American pilots behind the yokes no one should worry.

I flew on a Southwest Max a few years ago. The interior sure was nice. It was a pleasant upgrade. And the plane seemed to fly straight and level and turned when it needed to. I'm all in and not sceered at all.

Another good argument against immigration. Don't want Mushimdar Alibabba suddenly catching the envie for 72 virgin goat butts after living here for 10 years under the radar.

Fun fact: IT WAS ALWAYS SAFE.
This was a bunch of karen-arse karens getting upset.
In aviation business, a plane is not allowed to leave the gate with any safety systems malfunctioning. That's the equivalent of a turn signal being out, wiper blades being old, a tire below the 38psi rec.
Both 737MAX that crashed were third-world planes with multiple write-ups for problems and they kept them flying. Look the other way and rock-and-roll til they drop, literally.
Yes, there were serious design flaws. No, those flaws wouldn't have caused any deaths if basic common sense rules were adhered to.
But the EU politicians love to lampoon Boeing because their Airbus isn't really as profitable. Then our politicians can jump on it too and make a few press releases. Game over.

The House Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure disagrees with you.
I encourage you to read their report, you can download it here:

Cliffs:
- Bad design decisions
- Undue pressure on FAA representatives
- Pilot and operator blame game
- Economic pressure to produce and deliver new aircraft

Going to have to pick the latter.

A plane inherently unflyable in the absence of a robust and active computer system.
What could possibly go wrong?

quote:100% agree. And in Southwest's case, the Max 8s are like their -800s in that they have outstanding legroom. Much better than their smaller -700s and regular coach on AA/DL/UA.
