Minus the 2 year plus grounding of the Max fleet, then half of the Max fleet re-grounded for over a month, the NG pickle fork grounding, the NG fan blade inspection grounding, and the classic skin tears. There seems to be a decent portion of the fleet that gets grounded about every 2 years. At least that’s what history shows. It’s a risk running one fleet type.

People need to take an hour on an overnight and read what over the 30 different agencies world wide did when they reviewed the max. Every agency went over that airplane with a fine tooth comb to try to find anything wrong with it. No airplane in the history of aviation went through such scrutiny. The possibility is extremely low. As for the recent wiring bundles that was self disclosed by Boeing. It’s just going to be another AD that are common even in airplanes no longer in production. I believe the A350 just recently had a big AD come out on it.

If I had a fleet of inspectors go over your house with a fine tooth comb, they can find issues even you were not aware of. Not saying it is bad, just an amazing level of detail that most other airframes have not been subjected to.

The A350? You mean that plane that shuts down engines if liquid drips onto the center pedestal? 
That sounds like a way bigger deal than the Max electrical issue, but it wasn't grounded, of course. I'm sure that had nothing to do with Delta being a big customer...
