It’s for that reason it seems like we are headed for a single fleet. Hoping for at least 100-150 MAX orders!

Why hasn’t it been certified by now? The MCAS software is fixed. Now they are having issues with dumb things, stuff that is already on the 737-NG fleet. The latest issue being something about the self power up test when the plane is first energized with electrical power. Wow! It’s almost as if the FAA was sleeping when the NGs were certified.
