What, you don't like "set speed and climb thrust"ing with VNAV selected? Or the fingerbanging the FMC via "L2 and L3"?

It will never be fixed. The Max is the end of a long line of technically obsolete aircraft. Good riddance. In the meantime, though, it needs to be certified.

Hiring may be the least of our worries.

Either airframe, I’m outta here! 16 years on the Guppy and I’m ready for a change.

There are 443 orders of 320/321 variants to undisclosed buyers. Who's to say we don't already have an order on the books that's been kept under wraps?

The only way we’re getting A320 family jets is if we buy an airline that has too many to get rid of. For example F9.

I can however see them *possibly* getting the A321XL. Just my humble opinion….

If there isn't a plan B or plan C ready to go in the event the max7 gets scrubbed, that'll be more negligent than our ability to accept foreign cash. What may have been a long shot a couple years go looks more likely with every boeing delay!

Yet DL and AA called me before SWA. I’m not mad about it, I’d rather be at those two over SWA anyways, but the standards have always been set lower for a “lucky” few.
