I think we already had a thread about this.
I just watched the Netflix take on it.
I already knew that Boeing had downplayed a modification to avoid requirements but what they did was plainly criminal, disgusting that they were able to buy their way out jail for just $2,500,000,000.00
I kinda never want to fly Boeing again, especially given the Max is such a poorly balanced machine that it relies heavily on the MCAS in the first place.

Well never book a Virgin flight, they are replacing their fleet with the 737 Max.

then work out how many 737max are flying and I don't see your problem
same as saying Holden's have defective front brakes so don't drive them.

They're also letting pets fly in the cabin so that's a big no from me.
Qantas has leaned heavily toward Airbus, so now all they need to do is kill Joyce, and I'll be ready to spend my points.

I don't mind seeing some pets fly.

A respected QF captain that made the move from boeing to airbus made the comment that it was like getting out of a merc and into a hyundai, granted that was a fair while ago, but this old cabin crew member felt the same way, rattle clunk bang as they took off .

It will come down to the Captains discretion, and I'm yet to talk to one who thinks it's a good idea.

As for the 73 Max, it beggars belief that a critical redundancy was an 'opt in' option as opposed to it being a mandatory item.

If I was a billionaire, I would set a rolling award of $1 000 000 for every meringue pie that is pushed in the face of Alan Joyce until he ****s off from the business world.

Don't quote me, but I don't think any of you will die in a 737 Max. You'll be ok.

Looking forward to the day that someone who proves you wrong manages to quote you.
