That’s a good point. Also think it has to do with having to stand in *one more line* when you get to the airport - 12 ticket agent stations but only 3 grouchy ticket agents, half of the automated terminals are OTS... all before you get to spend 40 mis in the TSA Precheck line or an hour 20 if you don’t have it. Fortunate to have KCM but doesn’t help much when traveling with the family

About 95% of 14 CFR assumes you already have a certificate. The only thing the FAA can do is temporarily or permanently suspend her certificate which she probably doesn’t have. Stealing an airplane however is obviously a different story. There is a lot more to this than what’s being reported - mental health issues, etc. Just glad no one was hurt

Nowhere in the article or video did it say she was intoxicated

You’re waiting for the ‘hoax’ to be disproven? Either English is hard for you or you need to go back and review your regurgitated faux news talking points. Or both.

Even if the 37M is released for service by the feds and even if operators get them airworthy, there’s still the problem of public perception. It’s going to take years for the general flying public to feel comfortable/safe on it. I imagine it will go something like this: 1.) Airline A flies the Max 2.) Airline B does not fly the Max 3.) Both A and B travel to my destination with a similar schedule 4.) Airline B is $150 more expensive 5.) Passenger decides the additional cost is worth it and ticket is booked on Airline B to avoid the possibility of being put on a Max

It’s too costly to send the pilots back into the sim? What kind of flawed logic is that? The whole point of a sim is to practice and review scenarios regarded too risky to do in an actual airplane. Seems those in charge (manufacturer/airlines/feds) have come up with an algorithm that puts a price on human life, which is cheaper than sim training.
