Re: Boeing 737 (MAX) news
In March, the FBI has opened a criminal investigation into the certification of the 737 MAX 8. It seems that the FBI will focus more on what happened inside the Boeing 737 MAX team, rather then inside the FAA."...After discovering a problem in 2017 with a cockpit warning light on the 737 MAX, Boeing decided it would defer an update to fix the issue until 2020, U.S. congressional officials said Friday... At the time of the crashes, the alert worked only on planes flown by airlines that had bought a different indicator added to the main flight-display panel. Lion Air and Ethiopian Airlines did not have those packages...

LOT Polish Airlines to take delivery of one B737-700, serial 30651, from Boeing Capital in light of the B737 MAX grounding. Free of charge?
Vueling may move away from an all-Airbus fleet and migrate to the B737 MAX, according to Willie Walsh, CEO of parent IAG. Did Walsh lose some bolts and become nuts? How will his customers react?

They're probably cheap to buy now, and will be delivered long after the MAX has proved itself safeVueling may move away from an all-Airbus fleet and migrate to the B737 MAX, according to Willie Walsh, CEO of parent IAG. Did Walsh lose some bolts and become nuts? How will his customers react?
Re: Boeing 737 (MAX) news
Boeing handed over 56% fewer aeroplanes in May 2019 to 30 aeroplanes compared with a year earlier, as deliveries of the B737 MAX jet remained suspended. Net orders for the first five months remained in negative territory, with a total of minus 125 net orders.
FAA indicated that the B737 MAX could be out of action for even longer than expected and will likely be airborne again by December 2019.
Ukraine International Airlines may switch from the Boeing 737 MAX to Airbus aircraft as part of its long-term fleet strategy. The carrier may also adjust its 2020 delivery schedule to due to delay in MAX deliveries.

Re: Boeing 737 (MAX) news
A 380, does that mean you are not leaving from BRU, to avoid making noise overhead your own house?

Seriously, Lumumba? The ticket (or the resa) shows EQP A380 and your wife thinks that's a Boeing 737 MAX?

Departing from Brussels but transiting because price wise and we have 5 kids so it counts....

Re: Boeing 737 (MAX) news
I don't think she really looked at it but because I'm always saying that for example we going to fly with the last Boeing 737 from Brussels Airlines in the past etc.... she tought maybe we will be one of the first to fly with the max or something like thatPassenger wrote: ↑13 Jun 2019, 21:51Don't believe the initial post too much.

Anyway has a plane spotter I always have a story about the plane we take.
But people around me are willing to avoid the Max in the future but that's what they are saying now I don't say it's everywhere like that and I'm sure with time all this will disappear but it's there for now.
