Do the powers that be have some kind of plan or at least coming up with one? I’d hate to think they have their heads in the sand but it’s happened before to bigger companies.
All the hiring and the elimination of premium? Was this a strategy by the company? Or just a coincidence?
Are we going to be in dirty negotiations for 7 years?
I need to stop.
Do Airbus get parked after every single accident? Nope
777’s? 787’s? IMO the only reason the Max was parked is due to 2 crashes within a month due to what was exacerbated by a faulty system inherent to the airframe. If MCAS rears its ugly head and Lion Air bangs one in, possibly. The plane is going to be so over-engineered when the AD comes out I doubt that scenario is likely.
Will someone crash the plane again? Probably. Will it cause every Max to be parked? Doubtful.
