Too bad it's not the 737 MAX
The existence of 737 max is not enough?
The real fix is to never fly on a 737 MAX
What the whole 737 MAX/MCAS debacle highlighted was that the 737 is a design that is more than 50 years old, and that Boeing can only update it within strict limits, because otherwise it would need a new type certificate, which airlines with massive only-737 fleets like Southwest or Ryanair want to avoid at all cost. So, even with the particularly egregious problem which crashed two planes fixed, my trust in the 737 has diminished considerably.
Does the 737-Max not count as aviation anymore?
Shouldn't the headline say "Boeing 737 Max" ? There's a big difference compared to regular 737s
From what I understand about the issue so far, the systemic flaw is not in the aircraft, but in the training of the pilots. Or the lack thereof. Boeing wanted the 737 MAX to be considered just another 737 that didn't require any new training, but there are apparently significant changes compared to other 737 models that leave pilots feeling ill-prepared.
What's wrong with the 737 MAX?
As I understand it, all 737s pre-MAX are fine; you want to avoid the MAX planes because of MCAS and the new engine placement.
sounds like '737 max' engineering again. sigh.
