oh no. I just checked my upcoming flight and it’s a SW 737 MAX8. I’ve been having fears and a nightmare…and I’m a former flight attendant, lots of flying personally as well. UGH. Lots of flying to do this summer and it seems like the worst time. Now this.
No way in hell i would ever fly the max too u safe and damn unconfortable. Its the dc10 of the 21st century in other words an accident waitng to happen. Should we be surprized that planes have 22 avoincs issues when as reported by bloomberg makes $9 hr and no stick time.
The good news is the pilots are probably forced vaccinated… so you’ll be safe… cause the vaccine precludes engine failures, malfunctions or crashes in the Pacific…
Aloha. Looks like we’ll stick with HA on our next Hawaii trip, which, hopefully, will be next year. While I’m not that fond of Airbus (we last visited in 2017 when HA was still flying the 767), I’ll suck it up. I’m even less fond of being in a plane over the Pacific that has exhibited tendencies to not want to stay in the air and gets grounded frequently. Looking forward to 2023!
Lawyers & the insurance industry are having a negative impact on the airlines as they have on healthcare & hospitals. Here’s the basic problem – the insurance industry believes in and trust computers more than the human being. The insurance industry trusts the plane’s auto pilot more than the human pilot. That’s why pilots today are paid to: 1) take over, 2) land and 3) don’t touch autopilot after reaching altitude ( if not before). Between take off and landing, pilots are high priced babysitters who – by insurance industry decree – are not allowed to fly the plane. The autopilot & onboard does. Resulting in how aircraft manufacturers design & build new planes. And the MAX is what you get.
I know the history of this aircraft and I will never fly on one, no matter the findings of the latest audit.

I won’t fly on this plane and would reschedule if put on one.

Sixty midair emergencies seems like too many, to me, but I don’t have any idea on how many there are on other types of aircraft.
Interesting video from Alaska Airlines, but I interpret it as a marketing tool. Does not make me feel any more comfortable.
I have been on a few flights on MAX, on other airlines, but clearly there are more issues. I will avoid them in the future.

American does not use the MAX on Hawaii flights and has no plans ro do so in the future. They use the A321neo, which is totally safe.
A321 is the most uncomfortable aircraft on the planet.
AA currently does not use 737M on Hawaii flights. They use A321NEO from PHX and LAX, or 777 and 787 from DFW and seasonally from ORD.
At least, as of the last schedule.
