Hi plebs. If you listened to last weeks show you will be aware of the Boeing mess with the 737 fleet.
the FAA issued an Air worthiness directive. Re anti icing issues with engines. Late last year. This affects all 737 max fleet. There is a real possibility of catastrophic failure of engine if pilots make a mistake handling the system. The system and tech are ridiculously outdated. All part of their plan to avoid cert of a new platform and save MONEY
Boeing, under pressure from industry and the spate of rashes, deaths fires, doors falling off etc have just halted the certification of the last two models being the -7 and -10 until this issue is fixed. These fuckers were pushing forward with certs even tho there is a major issue
I will not fly a 737 max ever. There are continuing issues popping up and who knows what’s ahead. Do not believe the propaganda they are safe. Do your own research
FLY SAFE PLEBS

Yes the aircraft type is always listed. Don’t stop aircraft changes at a later date after booking yho
Flying is risky business at the best of times and it certainly doesn’t help if anyone involved is not acting in genuine fashion.
Overall the systemic problem is chiefly solved by healthy competition and innovation e.g. new technology
Paradoxically what we have here is an attempt at some level of efficiency by applying a new technology to something older that should be reliable now in the simple act of changing it has reduced the reliability and unintended consequences (deadly for the passengers, obviously there are few consequences worse than this) and that’s putting it mildly HOWEVER
There are also quality issues involved now in their plant and I think that is conflating the issue. It’s certainly worth paying close attention to see how it plays out.
