Had 2 fume events in the Spirit’s NEO within a year. I’d take the max any day of the week. At least you’d know when it’d happen. Wasn’t the same for the NK birds

Haters gonna hate...our customers who would like to make their vacation would prefer not to cancel for MX

Or have a door blow off due to ineptitude

My favorite airplanes after the 777 and 757 it’s the Max-8, it truly does fly great, great handling over all.

I m sure im not the only one that enjoys flying it.

Never liked the 900s though

MAX 8 is like flying a Cadillac with the best suspensions in the world after driving a Pinto over a bumpy road. It fly’s so smooth and is quiet.

All planes with the LEAP's have the LRD.

What we are not being told is why this only affects the Max and not the neo's. Or could affect both just we haven't heard of any documented incidents of this occuring on the bus.

But I love flying the Max. Boeing absolutely does need to finally design a 737 replacement, but Max is a good flying bird overall. Really my biggest gripe with it vs an NG is the removal of the APU EGT gauge. Second gripe being how long it takes for the LEAP's to start, but that isn't a Max exclusive issue.

How about the entire “Apollo 13” overhead panel and no EICAS!! Absolute abomination in today’s world. But I’m sure the FAA will keep giving Boeing exemptions as they always do 🤦🏼‍♂️🤦🏼‍♂️

That goes into my Boeing absolutely needs to design a 737 replacement statement.

But NG vs Max, that does not bare relevancy in the comparison.

Not like Airbus gave the 320 an entire systems redesign to make it more A350 like when they did the neo.

Yeah, having to do pilot stuff, think, and know your systems is complete BS in today's world. It's not a moving video game, it's just an airplane that we get paid well to operate.😁

There it is. Mr Tough-Guy, A Manly-man’s pilot! Give me a break. Incredible hearing anyone trying to defend the POS guppy. It’s the worst ergonomically designed aircraft in existence today.

I made north of $400,000 on the guppy last year while many people were struggling to buy eggs. I’ll fly it all day long. The issue of not having EICAS is vastly overblown in my opinion.
