Southwest Takes Boeing Airplanes Out of Rotation

This comes as Alaska and United are making accommodations
for passengers who don't feel comfortable riding on the newly
inspected Max 9 dҽatҺtraps .

The travel booking website Kayak has a filter option to exclude
any planes that you don't want to fly on.
They say ever since Jan. 6, the day after the door plug flew off
an Alaska Airlines Boeing 737 Max 9, they have seen an
increase of 15 times the amount of folks searching to exclude
a Max 9 dҽatҺtrap in their travel plans.

Meanwhile, Southwest has announced that they are taking
the 737 Max 7 out of fleet plans for this year.
That takes the number of overall expected Max deliveries
for Southwest this year from 85 to 79.
This all comes just a few days after United says it's taking
the Max 10 out of its fleet plan.

Both planes have yet to be certified.
And with Boeing under close scrutiny from the FAA,
there is not a timeline for these planes to be certified.

The Global Aviation Community Knows Who Is At Fault.
The Boeing Board of Depraved Miscreants,
Are The Sole Cause of This Massive Management Debacle

One of the reasons Jim McNerney had cited for going with the 737 max instead of a clean sheet design was because they’re largest customer southwest did not Want to have to build a training center for pilots for a new model Boeing airplane.

This just shows how ridiculous that decision was when even your biggest customer no longer wants to buy your airplane.

I make effort to never book that death trap plane and will avoid Boeing now as much as I can. Going woke will make you go broke.

Years back McDonnell Douglas produced the DC-10 which had a string of mishaps, depressurization issues and crashes. Although corrected and the plane continued life as a reliable cargo hauler, it never regained public confidence. The big difference between the DC-10 and the MAX is that there were still qualified engineers employed to rectify the DC-10 to be flight worthy.
