And, the latest:

Boeing needs FAA’s OK before 737 MAX jets can resume flights

Boeing grounded the jets on Wednesday after the discovery by engine supplier CFM International of a flaw in the manufacturing of some metal discs inside the jet’s new engines at one of its sub-tier suppliers.

See. SEEEEE! This is what happens when you're not tier 1!

They will eventually find a solution but 7 months after we took delivery of our 320neos, we still have recurring issues with the same parts. Sit back folks and welcome to the future.

A certain large airline with a lot of LUV.

Starting flying again after two days off. Nothing to see here now, move along, move along......

The 737 sucks. Hope they hit a home run with the 797 though.
