The real threat is loss of faith by the airlines in the quality of B products. If it were just the Max, it would be a tough enough challenge to restore customer confidence (safety - people aren't...

Urgent to who? The NMA doesn't exist! The 321LR does and XLR has been announced. If they are the only option to aging 75s and 76s, then there is no alternative. This is also a trust issue and B...

You might want to change the "is" to "was". Trust has been broken and I'd expect more cancelled orders for types that are now behind schedule with their own 'issues' let alone belief that B could...

The USAF has already publicly stated that the KC-46 MCAS system is not a concern - it is different then the Max implementation. How Boeing might have presented that to the FAA is another matter. If...

It is not an uncommon practice for law enforcement to withhold documentation if criminal investigations are on-going (and can we be sure that is not happening now?). It is possible that the DoJ...

It was mentioned before - maybe in the ET thread. It's been discussed in AF circles primarily to confirm that the same issue couldn't lead to disastrous results with the KC-46. Below is a good link...

I don't think there is an easy fix for that. But the difficulty in manually trimming is not unique to the Max - NG has the same issue above a certain airspeed.

So what you are saying is that all pre-Max versions of the 737 are unsafe? I don't think that is what the 'article' is implying. Has there ever been a non-Max 737 crash caused by inability of the...
