Passenger anxiety will drop off quickly and disappear entirely, and the fixed Max will eventually be a success... provided there are no accidents! --- End quote --- Oh really. Trust has been damaged way too much for this to happen IMO. Besides, supposing there would be enough people ready to forget about the debacle just because prices are low - that would be putting the burden of operating the 737MAX on the shoulders of the airline companies! That's non-sense. They already lost significant money with the 737MAX so far, how can you think they'll be OK with further cutting their prices just to be able to use the planes? Many would probably rather sue the ass off Boeing until they get compensated rather than lose more money. Just a thought, but what makes you think that getting companies to lower their prices due to Boeing's fuck-up could be acceptable for them? --- End quote --- It is in everyone's interests to fill the planes... the airlines as well as Boeing. So, they will sell cheap tickets and make sure some pictures/clips appear in the newsfeeds / social media showing MAX aircraft full of smiling passengers, pretty stewardesses, and handsome pilots. You know this works, you've seen it many times in your life, I'm sure! When the FAA and other international bodies finally approve the MAX, I think it will probably be as safe or safer than most other aircraft out there. Can they really afford any screw-ups? So - I would personally be happy to buy the cheap tickets, should they be offered! |

--- Quote ---Just a thought, but what makes you think that getting companies to lower their prices due to Boeing's fuck-up could be acceptable for them? --- End quote --- Supply and demand? When they start flying routes again, each plane represents a certain number of seats/tickets. If/when people start to avoid flying on the MAX, the other planes will fill up. Lots of empty seats on the MAX. Prices drop. It's not rocket science. |

Quotes : "Boeing and the FAA first said in early January they were reviewing a wiring issue that could potentially cause a short circuit on the 737 MAX, and under certain circumstances lead to a crash if pilots did not react in time. Last month, Boeing told the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) it does not believe it needs to separate or move wiring bundles on its grounded 737 MAX jetliner that regulators have warned could short circuit with catastrophic consequences. The source said the FAA told Boeing on Friday that it did not agree with the planemaker’s argument that the planes’ wiring bundles meet safety standards and now it is up to Boeing to decide how to proceed." Source -> Boeing proposal to avoid MAX wiring shift does not win U.S. support |

Seriously guys. :-DD How come the whole upper management level has not exploded yet at Boeing? |
| BravoV:
You called that a management ? :palm: They look more like a bunch of stock trader's employees, that their employer is taking a short position at the Boeing's stock. >:D |
