American Airlines extends grounding of Boeing 737 Max 8 jets through August 19

American Airlines announced Sunday that it will continue canceling all flights with Boeing 737 Max planes through August 19. The airline said that about 115 flights per day would be canceled.

They should never fly again until that plane can fly aerodynamically without MCAs

[josephhollandpontes]

After this DLC, it will be more coming ?

[tomstravels]

It’s now November and AA not flying them until March

It’s like a car that can’t drive straight and using software to correct the flaw. Updating the software does not solve the problem.

[lawneymalbrough]

They should sue Boeing for the loss of profits caused by their faulty planes.

[petebrian]

Wow, a whole 96 successful flights. How many "successful" flights did the other two have before they crashed?

[hyouzanren]

Looks like no one interested playing Russian Roulette together huh Boeing?

[UpStreamLivn]

Still, engines too big for old frame, CBS=can't believe shinola

[alexwalter]

Terrorliner needs to fly the FAA and Boeing managers for a year before the recertification

[cybervigilante]

Software can't fix a bad Mechanical design. The plane can't fly level, which is as bad as a car that can't drive straight.

AA extended the cancellation of flights which used the MAX, for planning purposes. They did not use the word “grounding.” It is not the same thing.

Let us all remember South West mechanics would not turn a blind eye to how bad these aircaft were. Basically saving hundred of people thier lives.

[kentershackle]

These selays and cancellation of flights. Extra pilots on ground, Will Boeing be slapped the bill??

[AmericasIronman]

Next time put the right money into the right hands and you won't have these type of problems. Ask Chipotle...

Two thumbs up for American Airline, you will be first in line when I fly.

If the Boeing 737 Max 8 jet follows in the footsteps of the DeHavilland Comet jet in 1952 (where three jets crashed within a year), the 737 will be grounded until next year at the earliest. Bad for Boeing’s shareholders, who own the Trump administration. For now, it will be tough for the FAA to allow the Boeing 737 Max 8 to carry more than cargo.

[bbbbwnnn]

I will cancle ticket for sure if my flight by boeing 737 max 🥴🥴🥴

Boeing should I take very seriously and now they just and make the announcement that American Airlines have grounded all of 737 Max 8 because a computer malfunction and how much that somewhere in there software problem that there's a bug in there it cannot just remove out you need to dig Inn inside right there to make sure that every computer hardware system will make sure that follow the rules especially follow the instruction menu to make sure that pilots and computer Pilots to make sure communicate together and then after the dad to make sure safety must be come first but I don't know what's going on with the software but it looks like and it had to drown it the entire American Airline of Max 737 Max 8 sorry but this is the truth right now

NPS I'm just a handicap I am but sadly that you don't know me I don't know you so I like to correct the right answer to stay on the positive way for the future of America not just America America but every about the world that what's going on

[cybervigilante]

Just turn them into living spaces for our ever-increasing homeless, and be done with it.

Good luck to those airlines resuming flights with the 737Max when it's eventually cleared to fly;you'll see mass cancellations from passengers wanting to switch to other planes!(I know I would!)Lol😅
