[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No.  The engines don’t fit the plane so the pilots literally cannot determine how to fly the plane in certain circumstances so you are betting the software works.  Approved by the same regulators that approved the engines.  [b]Any new orders for the 737 Max? [/b] I don’t actually know but the market for brand new planes is pretty sophisticated…[/quote]

Are you joking? Boeing has a massive order book for the 737 Max. They have had 1500 net orders in the last 3 years.

I love how people think they are aeronautical engineers here.[/quote]

To that point, how many here don't step foot into a car? Your odds of death/major injury are literally thousands of times higher per mile in a car versus a plane.[/quote]

I get your point as it is a widely expressed one, but there is a very good chance of walking away from a car crash.

[b]Almost no one survives a plane crash. So there you have it. [/b]

I try it not to fly the 737 Max, and with good reason apparently.[/quote]

Yup, it's truly remarkable how often people will state something with authority that they have no idea about.  The most recent major commercial crash in the United States was an Asiana 777 at SFO in 2013, with 307 people on board and 3 deaths.
