FAA appears poised to recertify the 737 Max this week

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

The Federal Aviation Administration appears poised to recertify the flight worthiness of the 737 Max this week, perhaps as early as Wednesday morning, said sources familiar with an expected FAA announcement.

The commercial aircraft, which was grounded after two deadly crashes and ongoing reports of safety mismanagement, has not flown nationally or internationally since March 2019.

The FAA did not return calls seeking comment. The grounding of the aircraft followed the deaths of 346 passengers and crew across two catastrophic flights, Lion Air Flight 610 in late 2018 and Ethiopian Airlines Flight 302 in early 2019.

In the months following the crash, numerous reports outlined a series of management decisions and lax FAA oversight — including award-winning coverage by The Seattle Times — that contributed to the twin disasters.

1. Good, for what its worth.

I worry the brand damage will last decades, and future sales of that model...

It’s a great plane.

Now we need to get past Covid so people will start flying again.
