Post by: Geek-9pm on December 12, 2019, 07:12:31 PM

You have already heard about the trouble Boeing has with the 737 Max airplane. But just now something has come up that was not entirely unexpected.

This just came out.
Some media outlets now t reports the 737 max airplane will not get the needed software fix anytime soon. Boeing is in big trouble.  :(

You can find detail son ABC, CNN and USA today.   8)

Southwest airlines is very angry with Boeing.  :o

As a European, and an Airbus fan (they make the wings for some models in my home town), you might think I would be rubbing my hands together that Boeing is in such bad trouble, but I'm not because I think competition is a good thing and leads to progress.
