Cave thread? Thought we had some talk on this but maybe it got moved.
If the 737 MAX was made by Airbus or Bombardier the FAA would have already grounded it. This is starting to reek of conflicts of interest and influence peddling, not surprising considering the industry background in the DoD and FAA. Not American airlines so no biggie. It's a also an American airplane company and few Americans were killed (also mostly not white people!) so no biggie. Still possible they might be feeling some heat with most countries grounding but I am not holding my breath.

And that's the crux of my issue with this whole thing. I hope we don't have to remove the CEO's name from our distinguished alumni list, I kinda liked him when I talked to him.
