Not really. When planes crash and they don't immediately know why, it's a prudent thing to do.It's not the first time this has been done.Yeah, this isn't knee jerk at all. The earlier 737 models were the Corolla of the aircraft world, reliable and everywhere, logging 10's of millions of trouble free miles. This Max was released in late 17, if memory serves me, and has had 2 serious incidents. I would be very wary of flying on one.You work in aircraft repair or something, don't you??

Quote from: tenpenny on March 12, 2019, 01:47:17 pmI see that the UK has grounded all 737 MAX flights into UK airspace, so the flight tonight from Halifax is now a A321 to Montreal and then a 787 Dreamliner across the pond.Haven't read what/if anything WestJet is doing with their Halifax to Paris flight.All the BS about the MAX right now is mostly all ridiculous knee jerk reaction. Still, happy my flight back to YYZ tomorrow is a 737-800

Heading to Andorra today. Cold today. High of 14C in Barcelona, 1.5 hours to Andorra, high of 3C! I will feel right at home for the day. Good shopping though!
Looks like Canada and the US are the only two places in the world where they are still operating. I see where it's come out that a couple of other pilots have reported control issues that involved the nose down thing shortly after take off. In those cases they were successful in overriding the automated safety systems and regained manual control.
Structural failures of 3 de Havilland Series 1 Comets were enough to have them pulled from service. Just saying.
Exactly, and those had a very obvious structural problem, square windows leading to cracks from the corners which then lead to explosive decompression...this issue, Boeing is "working on it".
