If they didn't ground the A350 when the engines were shutting down due to drink spills, they sure as hell shouldn't be grounding the Max for this.

Yep. They USED the -7 to recertify the -8…..Dickson personally flew it. WTF else do they need?

You're trying to apply logic to a government agency.

It ain't getting much better anytime soon... DEI - the gift that keeps on giving:

I think some folks here would make great candidates... The angrier and the more bitter, the better fit.

I think a more interesting discussion would be Breeze once Breeze grows enough. Get the 220s for shorter, less demand routes with a similar buisness model to what SWA started off with.

Two things:

- Breeze only has 20-25 A220’s on property and orders for 80 total. It’s the right size jet to replace the 400 -700NGs that need replacing but perhaps not enough of them.

- Frontier has 135 jets on property (also the youngest fleet in America) and 203 more NEOs on the way. They are all 320 and larger though so not a replacement for the -700s that need to be replaced.

I wonder what Embraer’s order book looks like for the E-190 E2. That seems like a good replacement for the -700s and I’m sure they’d offer a massive discount on a massive order for them.

Have you seen an Embraer cockpit? You think the 737 is noisy and uncomfortable (especially for a JS’er), you’ll really hate the EMB. I’d rather (if I were a SWA pilot) keep the oldest 737s around for decades before getting into an RJ cockpit when I go to work
