I really hope we get additional training on any extra systems associated with the MAX along with hour for hour pay paid for by Boeing. They wanted to skate by on the bare minimum which didn’t even turn out to be remotely close to the minimum and now we are stuck with grounded airplanes, questionable CBT training, reduced flying, reduced hiring, etc.

SRM is one way to do it.

The Max flights were built into the schedule many months out, to include the ones not yet on the property. If they plan to continue to fly these flights without the Max...

PLUS THIS: other fleets doing the mission of this aircraft, plus doing our own mission. I am glad for the senior manning pay. Wife very happy. BUT...I have passed on more senior manning due to fatigue and being worn out. You can't burn the candle at both ends for more than a month. As a fleet, as a pilot base, allot of pressure being put on reserves. They are a bit worn out as well. We were thin staffed before the max got grounded. Now, we really humping it. Lots of pilots with 100/672 issues. Don't see the feds granting any waivers on that.

"Returning the 737 Max to service will require many more steps than the report. Not only must it receive a technical sign-off by the FAA, but there is also the tricky issue of public acceptance..."
That one's easy. Use the Dynamic Pricing algorithm to float it to the top of Kayak, sorted cheapest fare first.

The 787 actually had far worse problems than the Max will ever have and no one remembers those.....witness a brand new 787 in ANA colors in the Pima air museum.
