Default MAX Grounding Issue Getting More Complicated

25% of MAXes grounded as a precaution, FAA requesting further analysis...

Agree.
They put a new system on what was basically supposed to just a bigger version of what they had already flown.
The criminal part is that they did not tell or train anyone in an aircraft that obviously has some substantial and possiblly dangerous differences under certain conditions.
It goes past negligent to criminal.

So, any plans to retire older 737-800s this summer will be postponed. Bring them out of the desert and get them checked out.

Don’t count on the MAXs to be certified until Thanksgiving?
