Virgin Australia to relaunch with 56 Boeing 737s
Sep 09, 2020, 10:45 PMI was hoping not to respond but have to... it’s super clear to all in aviation that if the Max went through complete certification as a new aircraft it would fail the present FAA & EASA standards. Boeing has done a doggy on the airline industry with the Max - poor decisions, rushe...

This could be a RIP before release!!! The world has changed and ...

At best it will be a niche aircraft. I don't understand why more energy hasn't been thrown into the 737Max replaceme...

Is the Boeing 737 MAX safe?
Jun 07, 2019, 03:46 PMBoeing 737 Max should not fly again! Under pressure from Airbus they decided to re-engine a 1960's airframe (Boeing have known for over a decade they need a new airframe). The problem was a 420 aircraft order from American Airlines to Airbus for A320neo - Boeing freaked out! And so the process...
