I'm not sure which would be more nerve wracking-- being in a 737 Max 8, or being on Ryanair.

A true match made in heaven...or the bottom of the ocean.

Why? Nothing wrong with Ryan Air

I have a feeling that the 737 max is going to be one of the safest planes in the world.

Boeing has billions riding on the MAX and the scrutiny from the public, the media and regulators worldwide is way too intense and white hot for Boeing to risk another screw up that would permanently scrap the MAX.

The last 20 months was a downright nasty enema for Boeing for engineering and management, and one for the FAA as well considering they got too close and outsourced certification to Boeing employees.

I wonder what kind of deal Ryanair got for those planes. 50% off?

I wonder if Boeing is going to continue concentrating on hiring engineers of color or the most qualified?

I feel very good about the A220 and A321XLR the next few years. Airline market will become primarily long and thin routes in a post-Covid world. These smaller jets will now have the range and CASM is plummeting. Of course the Dreamliners and A330NEO’s have their place for long haul but the future is in the highly efficient smaller airframes.

For having such a screw up they probably couldn't have timed it better. I'm sure with COVID a lot of orders would have been canceled anyways.

Isn’t that airline much crappier than Spirit?

A little secret about Spirit - purchasing the "big front seat" is one of the best deals in the airline industry.
