Ethiopian airlines. Well there's my first pick for travel.

Right there next to Somali cruises.

It’s a pretty reputable airline, actually, and a member of the Star Alliance. They’re pretty on par with most airlines for reliability.

I love Trumps tweet on this. A pilots job has have gotten significantly easier over the past 40 years, but he thinks older is better, lol.

Not a specific price, but I'd say after US and Canada grounds them would be a time to buy. It's a matter of time IMO, social media has blew this up, and everyone has pretty much grounded the planes except Canada and US at this point.

Canada should be passive aggressive and ground just the MAX-7 because of the whole C-series thing.

I feel like the only reason they haven’t yet is that it’s a dollar driven reason to not slam North America’s golden child manufacturer. They can’t do anything to make airbus look better

Well I think the world would probably give them benefit of doubt on Lion Air but 2nd one this close with a major airline no less, grounding it make sense.

And I am pretty sure 2 years of Trump policy made many enemies that would love to take US down a peg or 2.

I would have grounded it like Mexico given the whole tariff/NAFTA/C series beat down we got.

And aircraft are the safest they’ve ever been, but he’s the expert...

Maybe the secret service should get an old DC-10 on stand-by to use as Air Force One instead of the high-tech death boxes they're flying now.

Where does it say it serves a secondary function that is different from what it used to serve?

These 2 both said it. Don't shoot the messenger.

They know what the switches do. The training never covered the fact that they’re now also used to override this system as well.

Yup. Long story short, all signs points to Boeing.

Also, there's supposedly 2 switches that kill MCAS. The auto trim that BCS mentioned, and the stabilizer trim. The fact that nobody even knew stabilizer trim did this as well until well after the crash is a pretty big red flag.

Apparently Sunwing has taken the lead and grounded the planes proactively.

Only because the destinations they fly to have banned them from their airspace.

I thought it was weird they wouldn't just shuffle them around to keep them in the air to destinations where it's not grounded.

No, all good, was asking a question and you answered.

Probably worried a ban would happen while the aircraft is already in the other country. They only have a couple of them anyways. Most of the fleet are -800's.

Fuckers are up at the open. Not sure 378 is a sweet enough deal for me.

Screw it. I took a gamble and bought 100 shares for 375$ yesterday. I have a sell in good through today for 390$, I saw it touched 380 once so far.

I'd buy Westjet on bad news, but I expect him to follow the Americans/FAA and they seem to be holding firm.

At this point, only US and Canada is flying them, so they are slowly becoming pointless. I wonder if government can be held liable for NOT putting up a ban if another one goes down.

Witnesses claim they saw fire & smoke coming from the back of the plane while it was trying to recover - if that's true, wouldn't that point to some other issue separate from what happened to the Lion Air plane?

I would wait until the data/investigation comes out. I would not be at all surprised if there was 0 smoke or fire.

Officially grounded in Canada!
