Oh Alaska/Boeing

Well, the flight characteristics without MCAS were found to be undesirable. Not just different than the NG, but undesirable flight characteristics at certain AOA. I fail to see how that magically disappears when you call it a 797...

It disappears if the 797 has an envelope protected fly by wire system and an EICAS. :p

Dennis Tajer said, and I quote, “the kid got it right!”

Tajer needs to STHU. No, the kid didn’t get it right. After putting the stab trim cutout switches to off, the report shows the wheel was manually trimmed towards nose down . Whoops. The kid was clueless.




And here’s another video Tajer needs to Shut it.

One, American only has -800s and MAX8s. They don’t have plug doors. So stay in your lane.

Two, oh the horror about remembering to turn off anti ice no later than 5 minutes into thin air!

He’s on union leave I assume. Yeah, must be hard to remember that when you only fly once every two months?

Oh no, he needs post-it notes and an alarm on his watch every 5 minutes.


“Boeing needs 2.5 yrs to fix it - unacceptable.”

Ok Mr Tajer. Go ahead and inform, what? 25% of your pilots they’ll be furloughed as the -800s and MAX 8s are parked for 2.5 yrs in order to keep it “safe.” Until a fix is found?

Is that what he wants? What does he hope to do by all this fear mongering?
 
I'd fly on any version of the 737 tomorrow happily. I'd afford an A320 the same discretion if they were under such close scrutiny, but they aren't. Choose wisely.

Unlike you, I actually have respect for Tajer’s ability and knowledge as a pilot. However, I do agree that he is pouring it on a little thick. At first I couldn’t understand why. Then I realized it’s a negotiating ploy. He’s basically saying “pilots have to deal with a whole host of issues to see to it that planes arrive safely. Now you‘re Adding poorly constructed/designed planes to the mix. We need another raise.”

But he’s FOS if he thinks anyone believes he’s flying with sticky notes and setting his watch to go off every five minutes.

How would you know my ability and knowledge as a pilot, without having flown with me? I made no comments about his flying skill, other than his own comments on wrist watch alarms and post-it notes.

You took that wrong. That wasn’t a comment on your flying. I was saying you obviously don’t respect Tajer’s. But true to your point, you don’t respect his opinions, you said nothing about his skills. Apologies for the confusion and assumption.

He’s anti union. That’s why he doesn’t like Tajer.

I like how we can just outright lie about other members here with impunity.

I wrote my reasons for not liking Tajer in the post that I made. None of them said anything about hating on him because he’s a union pilot.

I joined VX when there was no union, and voted in both the VAPA drive and the ALPA drive. I voted yes to ALPA, unlike 1/4 of the airline colleagues that you used to work with under Virgin that voted NO.

Why does Boeing's CEO Dave Calhoun have a fine bead of sweat on that stiff upper lip, this might be why...

The company announced Tuesday that it booked orders for only three jets, all 737 Max planes, to an unidentified customer. But it also had three 737 Max orders canceled, adding up to zero net orders for the period.

Says the guy whose company has hitched their wagon to the MAX? Enjoy years of stagnation if MAX production rates don’t pick up and the MAX10 certification continues to slide.


I personally hope Boeing gets their poop together and can deliver safely and timely.

My guess is AS would just switch to more 9s and maybe a handful of 8s.
