It was tongue in cheek, given how no one is travelling at the moment

Re: 737 Max
I couldn't believe this. It's like something out of a far side cartoon. You'ren just flying along and a bit of the side of the plane falls off and the cabin depressurises. Apparently a child has his shirt sucked off him.
Re: 737 Max
Apparently it was newly delivered too. So clearly not built right.

A Friday Afternoon 737 isn't something you want, really.

I think it’s nuts that they can just block off an exit like that because they don’t need it legally - what if one side of the place is on fire etc.
How about not having a sig at all?
Re: 737 Max
Surely there has to come a point where these things are grounded permanently?

Nah, that would impact shareholder value, and we can't have that now!

Re: 737 Max
I've always found Airbus planes to be massively superior to Boeing in terms of comfort, noise and general passenger experience. The 737 debacle has not altered that perception in the slightest. Will we see Airbus starting to make inroads into the domestic US market?
If you get all wobbly-lipped about the opinion of Internet strangers, maybe it's time to take a bath with the toaster as you'll never amount to sh1t anyway.

The day that starts to happen they will implement protectionist laws whereby domestic flights have to be US built (that’s a reference to the Jones Act)

I thought the ancient 747 we flew to New York on was much quieter and more comfortable than the airbus we came back on.
Well, other than the entertainment system needing a couple of reboots

Re: 737 Max
Depends which airbus you were on. I've flown on the 380 and 350. Found the 350 much better. More room and better infotainment. It does also depend on what carrier you fly and how they've specced them.integrale_evo wrote: ↑Mon Jan 08, 2024 4:58 pm I thought the ancient 747 we flew to New York on was much quieter and more comfortable than the airbus we came back on.

Haven't flown on a max yet.
Re: 737 Max
I've done west coast USA in both an A380 (upstairs) and a 787. The Airbus was night and day quieter, more comfortable and all together more relaxing than the 'dreamliner'. The 787 was just horrid in comparison. The A380 you could barely tell the engines had wound up for takeoff. Bliss.
