777 has a more expensive crew cost plus a lot of the fleet is getting close to the expensive "D" check.....Delta usually has the ducks in a row.......

These nut jobs exist to destroy capitalism.....the world won't know the difference of another runway or ten of them. It's a way for these nitwits to feel important......

small cabins in a time of expanding older pilots. The 2nd door should have gone in a long time ago. Fast and speedy you can't complain about that.

Making engine noises in your flying car in the front yard is a lot different than being at 6,500ft in moderate turbulence with a crosswind waiting at the airport. The big drone with AI will most likely be the solution for short Jetson flights around cities.

USA pilots familiar with 737 stab trim had no problems dealing with the Max......senior crew all thought BA screwed up by not doing a separate type cert for this plane though.......

Too much hysteria surrounding this. It should have been a minor inconvenience to fix this and motor on. But Boeing MCAS set a trap for the unwary. Two major screw ups.....input from only one AOA and they made MCAS way too powerful. Let's stress this, the crew only PARTIALLY acted correctly and it was the 200 hour copilot who correctly called "stab trim cutout". Had they left that system off they would have survived, and it would have helped if 28 year old Captn had pulled the power back. Not all Boeings fault, several crews caught it....but then Boeing stuck their head in the sand and here we are.
