The MAX will fly again, all this dreary talk is ludicrous. The only issue is Boeing employees are going to have to park elsewhere if they keep using the parking lots to park the non-delivered ones. People said similar things about the 787 and not a peep is mentioned about that airliner today. the 7...

Jump to posti know this is crazy, but perhaps a piece of falling space debris cracked the windshield?
if so, would there be a way to know with the plane essentially in a million pieces on the ground?
ok, if twitter can ground a jet, then basically a handful of people could ground every plane currently flying over the US if they had enough browser tabs open.
kind of a frightening prospect, and clearly something that we'll have to fix.
misleading title for the thread. there was no depressurization.

Jump to posthow about a gullwing hinge along the entire body of the airplane that allows you to load and unload passengers as if they were getting on a roller coaster? line up in your rows, sit down, and go.
would add weight, i know. but would also reduce turnaround times by 90 percent!
i think this is what happens when you don't have enough body flex!

one of the main groups you'd have to deal with is the flight attendants:

they have won huge lawsuits over cancer caused by second hand smoke. no airline is going to risk those lawsuits again.

We used it while visiting as tourists and found it to be a great way to get back and forth from the airport.
the outter right engine definitely scraped the tarmac.
Jump to posti think the solution is clear. flaps up landings with engines off. and no lights either, as they can be distracting and hurt people's eyes. what's insane to me is the people who BOUGHT A HOUSE NEAR <acronym title="Ansett Australia">AN</acronym> AIRPORT are complaining about noise. maybe that's what ...

do any particular planes do better in heavy turbulence than others? is there any technology out there to mitigate the effects of turbulence on the passengers and flight crew?
gas station for rental car returns at the airport exit!
an onsite hotel would be great too. the current choices in the area leave much to be desired and are completely isolated from any kind of retail.
didn't boeing fall into a ridiculous trap that they set for themselves by forcing some sort of huge announcement of a prototype completion on 7/8/07? people speculated that it was done to appease the superstitious chinese customers. i'm sure i'm not remembering this exactly, but the engines for the ...
