FAA grounding of all 737s

NickH said:
I think if the cause of the fire is combustible material, we should ground all airplanes which contain it, especially if they have fuel.

It's the only way to be sure.

Especially whenever an engine is running, because that means its on fire!

On a side note, your thread's title is "deceiving". I don't know others, but I thought it was an affirmation, and that the FAA was "actually" grounding all 737's.

"Should the FAA ground all 737's?" would be better.

I'm not trying to be an smartarse. It's just a friendly comment :)

Yeah I had the same thought. Maybe he is a headline writer for a newspaper?

Just a friendly remind to all. If you ignore either trolls or members on here who like to show their ass on occassion or regularly. you take away their power!

Pfft ... its China's problem. Let them deal with it. :sarcasm:

Nice try Max, but he runs a program where anytime his name "brand x" is loaded, he gets a fraction of a penny that gets rounded off into an account.

####, I just gave him $0.000000001. :banghead: :banghead:

Keep in mind China does not have the greatest safety record as far as aviation goes. Wow the more I think about it China has been Effing up a lot lately. If they risk losing business by cutting corners to save a penny on animal food and toys why not airplanes.

Just to clarify, China Airlines is from Taiwan, not the People's Republic of China.
Yes it's confusing.
 
So I take it I am not the only one here getting tired of the dribble coming from Brand X? OK, good....Ignore list, add, "Brand X"...done and done.

We shared a cabin on a train once somewhere in Europe with a nice couple from Hong Kong. They made sure to let us know that they were from Hong Kong and NOT China.

It is confusing to a lot of us, but many Taiwan and Hong Kong inhabitants distance themselves from big China. Even though China 'administers' the territories.

Exactly. Nevertheless though, I've already said what I think should be done with his user account.

Til then, the ignore list is it.

:panic: Its true. You do learn something new everyday. I had no idea thats how things are done there. That is a tad confusing.
 
This just in - they found the cause of the fire

it was lead paint.

and possibly a Barbie.

hmm...might have been too soon for that one:whatever:

I know that the Alaska 737s were built around the same time as the China 737. So, the Alaska 737s should be the first ones grounded.

China Airlines B-18616 was delivered on July 26,2002. Alaska didnt get their first -800 till 2005. Somehow I dont think they were built around the same time. I have been wrong before though. Unless you are talking all NG aircraft in general, then you may be right.
 
I know the news said that the engine "caught fire" and caused the aircraft to turn into scrap, but my question is could this be linked to Boeings wonderful reputation of their aircraft to catch fire because of excess current in fuel tanks? I was watching something about a month ago on TV about previous 737's (and the TWA flt 800) catching fire while on the ground and an "expert" was saying it is a matter of time before another 73 burns and we are overdue. I'll research who said it and what program it was. Also, I know they have an AD out for the -300, -400, and -500 series for this very reason. Could they have fixed this before the -800 came out?
