If it's not Boeing then who? Santoclose? Airbus? China?

Obviously they fucked up. Unfortunately they are the competition. This is what happens when there's a monopoly.

I say, fuck Google and Amazon and get those monopolies in check.

Airbus. Easy answer. I’d rather fly on an A320 than a 737 anyway, especially an A320neo vs 737max.

Too bad if you're already booked and the airline company changes the plane on you...

Genuine question. Could somebody legally demand a refund at that point the flight was different than sold as?

So strange - can’t find the Max 9 filter option on their app or website.

Seems small but something like this could kill this plane as a passenger jet if enough people are avoiding em.

I'm all for it to be honest. The 737 Max sounds like a death trap, and until Boeing is banned from certifying their own planes nobody should be flying in these IMO.

The FAA needs to start certifying these themselves again, and remove the existing loopholes/exemptions that allow some design changes to avoid recertification

Seems like a smart function. I would not feel safe in a Boeing at the moment.
