There have been lots of great debates and arguments in this thread throughout the last year however one very important point will soon come to light and that is... will passengers fly in the MAX? I took an unofficial poll with roughly 40 people in the last few weeks to see if they knew they were goi...
Jump to postIt appears that the latest software issue was discovered by auditors and not Boeing!!!! Thats it Im 100% officially done with the Max and 100% done with Boeing! Enough of this never ending Max Saga. The Max is an absolute Disaster and will go down in aviation history as the worst plane ever. Now I'm...
Jump to postMany people that contribute regular to this topic speculated that the Max would return quickly after the grounding, I was one of the few spektics that thought it would take longer but I never imagined that it would take this long! Reports recently released from various airlines seem to indicate a re...
Jump to postNot sure if anyone else has posted this but the delivery dates just keep slipping for all airlines it seems:
As seen in Airline News
AIRLINE NEWS: Ryanair CEO says airline may not receive first 737 Max delivery until October | The Globe and Mail - https://airlinenewswire.com
Wow excellent post. Extremely well organized and a great idea
Happy New Year
Well its now official! The Max 9 and 10 are useless and Boeing wants to introduce a completely new plane sometime in 2021 or thereabouts to compete with the vastly superior A321 according to LNA! Say what you want but in my opinion and in alot of other people as well that the Max is a failure...Yes ...
Jump to postThe awesome Max claims another victim...Boeing's CEO is reported Fired...anyone surprised that it took this long for it to happen
Jump to postIf they are not assembling them then sooner or later suppliers will have to stop production as well..
Jump to postWow so now Boeing is going to suspend production of the Max in January, things just keep going from bad to worse for Boeing
Jump to postWell it looks like this thread on the Max won't end anytime soon with the recent news on the Max recertification delays now extending well into 2020. How much more endless jibber jabber can we all endure on this topic. Yes you're all experts on the 737, engineers, pilots etc...MCAS this and that, ch...
Jump to postBeing Canadian... I love our response from the Canadian authorities investigating the MCAS on the Max as retweeted by Jon Ostrower form the Air Current Simply remove it entirely from the plane! Two things with this statement. https://twitter.com/jonostrower "UPDATED: Transport Canada safety off...
Jump to postFor me these two points suggest that the lift is more extreme than Boeing is letting on: 1) The extreme increase in MCAS authority 2) Not disclosing the actual extent of the nacelle lift It seems like Boeing could easily make everyone feel much more comfortable if they would simply release some inf...
Jump to postThe one thought that keeps running through my mind regarding this MAX issue and other projects like the 777X or the F-35 etc. is why after all these years we keep screwing up in aviation? The aviation landscape is littered with new projects that are way over budget, way behind schedule and released ...
Jump to postAt this point and with these latest revelations I'm just happy to be alive from the Norwegian MAX flight I took in January. One wonders what else have they brushed under the carpet besides the MCAS. Rest assured I will not be boarding Boeing MAX ever again. Yes I totally agree!! I also wonder what ...
Jump to postWell this latest news pretty much does it for the 737 MAX. It's definitely not coming back anytime soon...maybe even never!!

Jump to postBoy do I ever love reading this conversation... the topics that get mentioned and debated are unbelievable! I popped some more popcorn so keep going ladies and gentlemen..
Jump to postIt would be helpful to know which of the ten doors failed. As the fuselage and Type A doors are the same as used on the rest of the 777 family, I am strongly inclined to think it was not a design issue there. If it was one of them, my guess would be it was not properly latched/secured. The Type C &...
Jump to postIt does have something to do with Boeing and FAA safety culture. Corporate interests over public safety. And so on. Personally I won't fly on a MAX until each of these questions are answered, even if the MAX is deemed safe again. It's a matter of building trust in both Boeing and FAA. I guess you w...
Jump to postIt simply comes down to the fact the MAX is a variant gone too far. The engines are the main problem... too big , they throw the center of gravity way off creating all sorts of problems talked about to death in this thread...
Jump to postGood topic discussion on Toyota cars... interesting...
Jump to postMy god, it seems that in this thread every possible component of the 737 MAX has been dissected, scrutinized and debated. I can't believe that there's anything left to discuss but I suspect some people will always find something else to analyze. This thread is now on its 40th and still counting page...
Jump to postBoeing's current top management's attempt at being cheap, cutting corners, pushing monthly production levels to unrealistic levels is coming back to haunt them big time! Boeing's excellent reputation built by previous quality management is being eroded very quickly down to a level that will permanen...
Jump to postYou are right. Boeing is in a make or break moment currently, what they need is a man like Clarence Leonard "Kelly" Johnson to lead them out of this mess (777X, MAX, KC-46). Real leadership is needed to solve this horrible and sad situation Boeing is in...
Jump to postI still can't believe they will put 200 seats in this plane, even at 189 seats its cramped!! People complain about this airline but they still get passengers to go in them, I wonder once they try this 200 seat version will they fly it a second time?
Jump to postSo much angst over one order. I do not understand. Boeing's engineers are capable. Deals happen. It is an obvious win for both sides. In reality, no ordinary passengers will pay attention to whether they are flying 737 Max months after the grounding is lifted. AND, BA can always choose not to the m...
Jump to postWell the FAA and Boeing identified a new issue with the MAX plane!! Try to fix one thing and something else pops up or goes wrong! It's amazing how the fantastic 737 went from Hero to Zero. They should of stopped at the 737-800 { arguably one of the best planes ever} This is why I won't get near a M...
Jump to postThis order is a Big mistake. The 737NG is a great plane, the 737-800 is legendary!! The Max series is an engine gone too far, so many pilots have commented on that they feel uncomfortable flying it, controls and response seems off, engineers discuss how it is flawed and yet due to some deep discoun...

Jump to postNow it looks like Air Canada will lease 2 Qatar 330-200's for the summer seasons to offset the grounded 737MAX...I wonder if these will be painted in AC colours
Jump to postJust saw an image of a A321 and it doesn't have any sharklets attached, just curious as to why not?
Jump to postNot sure if they are new builds or second hand versions...
Jump to postNews form Air Canada is that they will be adding 4 more A 330-300's in 2019 bringing their total to 12. My question is why are they adding more A330-300's? What routes do they want them for?
Jump to postI like the new livery (at least in good weather conditions...) but they really should have tested this before, as they did in the past. 0289068 They could have easily used the B737 stored behind the butterfly hangar in Frankfurt... 4318187 That happens when you don't consult a.net first :rotfl: :ro...

Jump to postWell lots of people expected this order so its not that surprising. We will now wait and see if Emirates orders more A380's to save the day for Airbus...
Jump to postBoeing is at it again, playing dirty just like they did with the tanker competition years ago. The Airbus MRTT 332 was the best plane and the US military wanted it but Boeing and their legion of paid off politicians changed the outcome in Boeing's favor. The C Series is the best choice for Delta and...
Jump to postLets not forget that one of the main reasons AC ordered the 737 was because Boeing gave them a price that AC simply couldn't refuse. Boeing just lost the American Airlines narrow body order to Airbus(321) and wanted to strike back at one of Airbus's customers and Air Canada was just in the right pla...

Jump to postI was planning on responding but... I think airbazar said it best!
Jump to postMy first reaction is that I just saw a Delta plane by mistake and then looking at the nose makes me see paint work Airbus is doing on their new 350's and 330 NEO's
So far a fast survey of 10 people and unfortunately no one likes it including me...perhaps in time I will grow to like it...
Well whether its the 787 or 737 Max that gets the first new paint job is still undecided but one can safely guess that the next plane type to get the new paint scheme is the A333 currently in Singapore that was extensively damaged falling off it's supports while there for maintenance. It will requir...

Jump to postQuestion regarding Air Canada's A330-300. Since AC is switching to an all Boeing fleet I'm curious as to how long they plan on keeping the A333 around? According to news reports they plan on re-configuring the seat count from 265 to 292 which indicates its going to hang around for a while and once t...
