It’s been 20 months since a pair of fatal crashes forced regulators around the globe to ground the once top-selling jet. The FAA’s blessing will allow Boeing to finally make money off the roughly 450 Max jets it has built but not yet deliveredhttps://twitter.com/i/broadcasts/1PlJQPWwvAyGE …

Although the approval represents a major milestone for a company that somehow repeatedly managed to make an already devastating crisis worse for itself. But getting regulators’ approval is only half the battle https://trib.al/8GyD3on pic.twitter.com/PvB7RMGhEV

Due to the global pandemic, the 737 Max will be flying in a very different world than the one it left in 2018:
Passenger air traffic is at 32% of normal levels
Airlines are cutting back their orders
Nobody is interested in buying new planes https://trib.al/8GyD3on pic.twitter.com/fitacsBmOA

A quarter of the 450 Max jets in storage are “white tails” — planes whose buyers have backed out, so their tails are unmarked by logos. 1,000 Max jet orders have either been canceled this year or deemed doubtful under accounting rules https://trib.al/8GyD3on pic.twitter.com/OiExAXmNjW

For airlines that already have 737 Max jets, they won’t be able to take passengers right away because:
Many of them are parked in the desert
Pilots need to do simulator training
Airlines need to implement the FAA’s upgrades

Looking to ride on a 737 Max to close out 2020? Your best chance to board one may be with American Airlines, which has said it will fly the Max on a Miami-New York route starting on Dec. 29 https://trib.al/8GyD3on pic.twitter.com/X9u7A1Vf9J

After the longest grounding of an aircraft in modern U.S. history, it’s natural to ask: Is the plane actually safe? The short answer is yes. The FAA’s fixes go beyond the software that was blamed for the catastrophes https://trib.al/8GyD3on pic.twitter.com/rCdBwx5fi6

Whatever the risks were around this airplane, the FAA has found and evaluated them. Why the agency didn’t do this from the start is a different question that features prominently in a congressional push for reforms to the FAA’s relationship with companies https://trib.al/8GyD3on pic.twitter.com/xvEbUWW4mH

Is an air travel recovery realistic? The best-case scenarios have a vaccine becoming widely available in the spring, still months away, and some travel may never return. So good luck to Boeing and the Max. They’re going to need it https://trib.al/8GyD3on pic.twitter.com/xiecViTG0N

NO ! How dare they! So, seemingly the problem is fixed . They have destroyed lives through greed , & now are making amends, solely for profit
If my flight is on a Boeing 737 Max , I will decline . Disgusting. -
Exactly same here Hell no....
