737 Max troubles;:The latest news...

[3WE]

All of this talk, and I’ve seen nothing to address the massive lavatory problems.

MCAS is easy. If you are pulling up relentlessly, relentlessly pull circuit breakers.

MCAS was simply a distraction/cover-up to divert the attention from the tiny lavatories.

Put on your hard hats everyone, they're flying again!

No, thank you. I'll wear my tinfoil brief.

Historic statement:

Quote=Aeroengineers

We worry that the airplane may pull up relentlessly...

So we designed a system to make it push over relentlessly...

Oh the ironing (and logic).

Also, we should ban all 737s and use E-170s, with their goofy, safe yokes, instead. This would also fix the lavatory problem.

Oh, the ironing!

Quote = The media: "Boeing 737 Max takes to the skies again in crucial passenger confidence test following fatal crashes"

Perhaps, we should refer them to there for the thoughtful discussion?

Or flyboy can make a video on his Naked Truth Pilot YouTube channel?

Did they fix the real issue? (the size of the lavatories)

This Evening News: AAs first 7-MinLav flight flew safely from Miami to New York today.

1. Worthless anecdote
2. No reports of Lav malfunctions
3. TeeVee didn’t died...unless in the drive to or from the airport.

Verbie's snow coffee will be even more diluted this year...

A warning light was triggered.

These obsolete death traps should be banned!

This will also bode badly for Boeing's public image (even if it's not totally deserved).

Footnote: I should be using some blue font in this post, although I think we can figure out what parts.

passengers on the flight were rebooked on a Boeing Dreamliner.

The most interesting part of the article.

[Not_Karl]

"...a potential fault that needed to be verified and reset.”

Could Not_they just monkey with some CBs?

Isn't the original meme the size of the SINK perse?

Do you sink that the sise of the sink was causing the MAX to sink?

The anti-spray wash system does not function after a toilet flush and sends 3000 PSI straight to the faucet, where the sink causes an unintended hydraulic flow reversal. You aeroengineers cannot be trusted: One minute, you can't keep the water in the sink, the next, the plane noses over in spite of relentless pull ups.

Ah, yes, MCAS: the Maximum Cleanliness Assurance System.

Southwest Airlines has today placed a significant order for Boeing’s 737 MAX aircraft. The US low-cost airline has ordered 100 737 MAX jets, alongside options for 155 more.


In total, Southwest’s order book stands now at 200 737 MAX 7s and 180 737 MAX 8s. More than 30 of these have already been delivered to the airline. In addition to this, the airline now has a total of 270 options for either of the two models. Southwest is reportedly also planning additional MAX capacity through deals with third-party lessors.

They better fire more people, hire Evanie, and we may want to shelter Bobieeeee from this latest news.

No kidding!!!

Boeing's statement:
"The [grounding] is being made to allow for verification that sufficient ground path exist for a component of the electrical power system".

*** ground path ***

Probably the use of cheap composites where stronger (and conductive) metallic structures used to be...
