FAA Chief Takes Controls On Boeing 737 Max Evaluation Flight | NBC News NOW

[samfresh]

Remember the FAA was among the last to order the grounding of the 737 MAX, after claiming there was no reason.

[motorcity]

2020 has been scary enough without the 737 max in the air

[TheSwanlake]

The 737 silhouette is more scary than jaws

[marshalllucky]

these dangerous airplanes should all be scrapped, God forbid anyone ever has to fly in one again .

[npaul]

Glad he liked what he saw, but the FAA has a major credibility issue at the moment, Boeing is in the midst of major quality control, project management, leadership, and public relations crises, and there's a pandemic raging on that is probably about to get worse. We really don't need this plane, the flying public doesn't seem to want it, and not many people have much confidence in jumping on board this big question mark.

[edwinodus]

I don't think he knew what the problem is. If he really want to test 737MAX, he will make the angle of attack vein malfunction

[kunstigverdraaid]

I’m sure they can (will) get a law passed to shield the aircraft model or make it very difficult to find out or just lie then surprise you when it’s too late. Its way too much money for them not to find a way around it if they can’t truly fix them.

[GH-oijf]

Time to wrap this up. They have had plenty of time to correct the problem.

[mikejones]

Once they moved the engines forward on the wings, this plane became a deathtrap. Boeing will NEVER be able to correct this design. It needs to go to the trash pile for the rest of eternity. The "success" of the 737 Max is comparable to "new Coke."

[joselauzardojr.]

No No No No I Won't Take it no more!

[buddyratcliff]

Didn't faa pass it the first time
So what r you thinking

[garykusnierz]

The. Engine he left pulls the attitude indicator strate

[miken]

As code moves more into Artificial Intelligence, I do not expect the FAA to have the qualifications to analyze and diagnose complex computer code. It is too far above the capabilities of their bureaucracy.

[stephenbonin]

FAA is going to approve to bandaid, sad.

[Bullydog]

Leave that crap grounded! No one will fly in that thing! Its not meant to have those size engines on a 737. Boeing why dont you stop being cheap and redesign a plane that doesnt have all these problems and causing death! Shame. Go Airbus.

[enjoizfinezt]

Keep them grounded the misstep has costed too many lives & we're already going to be facing the job cuts from the Airline industry in the next coming weeks as is

[garykusnierz]

The left. Engine pulls the Attitude indicator straight at high angle of attack and full power the engine is too close to the fuselage causes the reading on the right and the reading on the left to be different not the sensor the sensor isn’t bad and it trips the flight computer, to save the airplane and. All the people you need. To turn off the auto pilot and auto Throttles.and trim the Elevator back to give the control column Authority fly safe everyone !!!

[jobriath]

TYPE jerry NADLER craps his PANTS during PRESS conference lmao

[WhySoitanly]

737 MAX: This pig should be scrapped. No one wants a killer airliner. Boeing faces 346 negligent homicide lawsuits, plus breach of contract suits from aggrieved airlines. Boeing may be on sale soon to cover management's lethal decisions.

[andrewbryant]

Who really cares that this man flew a seven £.37 Boeing do you players are not selling anymore and they’re never going to see how they just might as well put them in the graveyard
