Struggling to use your Frequent Flyer Points?

Frequent Flyer Concierge takes the hard work out of finding award availability and redeeming your frequent flyer or credit card points for flights.

Using their expert knowledge and specialised tools, the Frequent Flyer Concierge team at Frequent Flyer Concierge will help you book a great trip that maximises the value for your points.

737 Max will be the safest aircraft in the sky when it’s cleared to fly again which it absolutely will be - no aircraft in the history of aviation has been subject to this level of evaluation and testing.

Wishful thinking of a Boeing fanboy, that is what this is. I don't see it and many pilots who know much more of the technical details than I do seem to agree.

They might fly again quite soon in the US domestically, political pressure will work wonders. But in the rest of the world- let's wait and see!

Not according to the NY Times article. I had previously known about the engine issue - which the software was supposed to mitigate, but wiring and potential short circuits ...

You might want to re-read my post and then google what avionics means.

And the CEO of IAG (BA etc) bought how many aircraft? While they were grounded?

Whatever it is that you’re smoking, can I have some....

The 737 will remain a deeply flawed aircraft, that should have been pensioned off quite some time ago. The problem is that it is neither FBW nor purely manual, and the mix does not work well.
 
Sounds like AJ is just trying to leverage a better deal with Airbus, surely he wouldn’t seriously be considering the 737MAX’s


As VA have already bought them and if QF think they really are safe at some point in the future - then AU pax basically won’t have a choice if they want to fly domestically.

That being said the A320s in QFLink livery flying around do look awful pretty ;)
