My wish right now is for the U.S Federal Government to federalize Boeing at this point. With the full backing of the federal government and NASA, Boeing should be able to develop the next generation aircraft. If Russia and China are able to do this, so can the US

Re: AS1282 PDX-ONT decompression event, returned to PDX, FAA temporarily grounds 737MAX9 for inspections

There are frequent mentions of how Frankenstein the MAX is, but all derivatives are Frankensteins to a degree. The A330 is almost a newer A300. Also the 737 has a much newer wing than the A320. The problems with the 737 are less about the hardware and much more about Boeing's failures in management...

Re: AS1282 PDX-ONT decompression event, returned to PDX, FAA temporarily grounds 737MAX9 for inspections

Pretty common knowledge that WN’s insistence of cockpit commonality is to blame for the Frankenstein MAX. I'd argue it was more American Airlines ordering almost 500 A320neo. "Cockpit Commonality" between the 737 Next Generation and 737 MAX involved a heck of a lot more than just MCAS. Wh...

Re: AS1282 PDX-ONT decompression event, returned to PDX, FAA temporarily grounds 737MAX9 for inspections

Technically, MCAS wasn't really flight critical if there was no AoA vane failure. With properly functioning AoA vanes, triggering of the system would have been very rare and likely not even have been noticed by a pilot. I think they looked at it as just throwing in some software so it would pass a ...

Re: AS1282 PDX-ONT decompression event, returned to PDX, FAA temporarily grounds 737MAX9 for inspections

If they're going to require the same treatment for the 739ER now, but not actually ground it, why keep the MAX 9 grounded? Unless they haven't pinpointed the issue/solution, in which case again I ask, why aren't they grounding the 739ER? The whole manufacturing or process defect rationale for keepi...

Regarding the CVR and its 2 hour limit. It was mentioned on here that the EASA stipulate a minimum of 25 hours.

So do Airbus fit a 2hr or 25hr CVR as standard on aircraft destined for US operators? And does Boeing have to fit a 25hr one for European operators?
