The “hearts and minds of the Public” didn’t know what a “Max” was prior to the accidents and couldn’t tell you a NG from a max if they were right next to each other, let alone an Airbus. The general public only knows planes by seat maps. Is it a 2x2? A 3x3? A 2x3? A 3x3x3? Or a 3x4x3? < took that one to Paris.

 

You're absolutely right....they didn't. But that said, after the Ethiopian crash EVERYONE knew what the MAX was. As long as it stays in the news, (with a criminal investigation in the works, rest assured it will be) the public will continue to ask questions until they are satisfied.

We haven't had a series of same type crashes in a very long time. Well before the days of the social media platforms that we have now. The public is able to get information much faster than ever before. Now granted, all information may not be factual....but in classic news fashion....if it bleeds, it leads. Imagine if facebook had existed when DC-10s were having accident after accident....or hell, even when the A320 debuted at the Paris Airshow.

It's foolish to think that this is simply going to blow over once/if the software patch gets approved.

 

Still waiting for those suite new uniforms to come on line. When dat?

 

After we approve it

So you are wearing some rooms, or music??

 

Is this a new Airbus Alaska ordered?

 

Looks like N929VA

 

you see, Jeffy here works part time at Boeing as a white board licker.... tough job to get I hear...

 

Where’s the announcement?

 

Can’t announce an order of 101 Max when the airplane is grounded. Looks bad, looks like you care not about safety and only the almighty dollar. We all know safety is the first priority at Alaska and money is a distant third behind employee happiness.
