Misleading headline at best.

To a certain degree, yes in my opinion. You kinda have to offer something that no other carrier has...ie routes, type of service, etc

It’s all about $$$. They didn’t have enough to keep operations going and they couldn’t pull out a last minute investment deal. Running an airline is extremely difficult, especially as a newcomer. The competition will be ruthless against you, and established carriers, low cost and legacy, have much deeper pockets to enable them to weather bad economic times and take losses on routes to eliminate competition. It sucks, but it’s business.

Well, they gotta put them somewhere until they are ready to go again...

Im not suggesting that we wait for a possible 3rd incident before action is taken. I have no problem with the grounding of the type to determine what the problem is, in fact I think it is a prudent move. I just wont personally join the mob mentality about this until we have facts about what the cause of the most recent accident is AND if it is in fact related.

Similarities does not mean causation considering that the data of what actually caused the 2nd crash has not been released. This is not to say that they are not caused by the same thing, whether it is pilot error due to lack of training, mechanical malfunction or any other types of causes. It is suspect that there were 2 accidents within a short period of time, but I will still withhold judgement until actual facts are released, not speculation, conjecture and emotional response.

Well you gotta do what you gotta do. Gonna take a while to get those aircraft. If there is a problem with the 737, it will be fixed before they ever get their 1st Airbus.

If this happened on the past 4 flights, then in my opinion, this is a maintenance problem. Its way to early to assume this is a design issue. If American, Southwest, United and any other -MAX operators are not having this issue, then it is likely not a model or design issue. My concern is that the carrier rushed or failed to repair the issue and get the plane in the air. I also have a hard time figuring out how in fair weather the crew managed to possibly stall the aircraft. I am not a 737 pilot by any stretch of the imagination, but I would like to believe in VFR conditions, there should be no reason for the plane to stall and crash unless they failed to disconnect the A/P and that would also be pilot error.

The Airbus fleet is also old. Regardless of the MD's, old planes break down more. Ive flown them once, I will never fly them again. And I was on an Airbus.

The 737-100/200 is really old. The 300-500 are kinda old. The 600-900 are pretty recent and the MAX is new technology. While the 737 was envisioned in the 60's, the new ones are nothing like the originals except in name and general looks. Not a good comparison.
