Boeing's Max9s cleared to resume flight by the FAA

[thewayne]

Good news for Alaska Airlines and United Airlines. Alaska says they're going to resume some of their canceled flights Friday: it takes a little time to notify pilots and crew that they're needed back on the job.

HOWEVER....

"United Airlines chief executive, Scott Kirby, also told CNBC that he is "disappointed".
"The Max 9 grounding is probably the straw that broke the camel's back for us," he said, adding that "we're going to build a plan that doesn't have the [Boeing] Max 10 in it"."

Not that it will happen, but it's been suggested that Boeing should purge ALL McDonnell-Douglas executives that are still in the company and get actual engineers back into important positions. But it won't happen.

Apparently they don't realize that producing a good, reliable product encourages investment.

You would think they'd figure out that good, reliable products are the most profitable thing any company can produce, but everyone seems to be running away from that idea and that conclusion and chasing some weird trick that almost always explodes in their faces.
