re: Get Your Tickets Now...Boeing Says 737 MAX To Fly Again In January

This plane was always too big too fail.

Everyone likes to criticize Boeing, but Boeing did exactly what their customers wanted. Take the 737 frame, modernize the flight control system, and integrate into LEAP engines. All the while seemingly trying to dovetail the MAX's into NG flight certification, saving Airlines hundreds of millions in pilot recertifications and maintenance training. Add the time into service factors placed on Boeing by the airlines.

It was a bridge too far for Boeing, which already had the perfect replacement for the 737...the 757

This Air Disasters episode was amazing. Favorite Prime Video binge show. They need to make more episodes available.

Yeah. I started on YouTube then went to prime when I finished all of those. Prime has 11 seasons but 2 aren’t included and they want $25 each for those seasons. Yes, I’m an Air Disasters Junkie

So am I. I am considering if its worth going to school to become an investigator.

The Pan-Am 759 crash in 1982 actually clipped trees in my grandparents yard before going down. I've held some of the wreckage in the 'Kenner museum' which technically was not open (still don't think it is).

That would be amazing. Are you a pilot?

I used to travel 90% for work and loved flying. Experienced 2 terrifying incidents and started getting panic attacks when I walked into an airport. Flying now requires enough Xanax to kill an elephant but I’m determined to get over this. We travel on private a lot (company jet) and I do better there. Started watching Air Disasters to desensitize and became hooked. Oddly, it makes me feel better about flying

Well I’m just a terrified passenger who finds odd comfort in knowing how all the other plane crashes happened so no judgement from me

I’ll stick with Airbus

I'd still rather fly any Boeing, and that says something about Airgreyhound.
