Donald Trump grounds all Boeing 737 Max 8 and Max 9 planes
Most likely, the unacceptably long wait in the U.S. was caused in response to Boeing’s belief that better pilot training is what’s needed to prevent more crashes – rather than believing there is a problem with jet.
Frankly, I don’t really care what the issue is. Until the problem is fixed – whether it’s a pilot training issue, or a software malfunction, or a mechanical problem – I’m not getting on one of those planes, no matter what.
I’m glad that now no U.S. airlines will be flying the jets until questions about the crashes are resolved and steps are taken to prevent them from happening again.
It’s just been reported that Trump has now order the immediate grounding of all Boeing 737 Max 9 and Max 9 jets:
Pres. Trump: "We're going to be issuing an emergency order of prohibition to ground all flights of the 737 MAX 8 and the 737 MAX 9, and planes associated with that line."Just In: President Trump says an emergency order will be issued to ground all U.S. airline flights of the Boeing 737 Max 8 and 737 Max 9.— NPR (@NPR) March 13, 2019
Any plane currently in the air will go to its destination and then will be grounded until further notice.
