So if you were TK operations would you risk having it grounded in the UK for an indefinite length of time?
You mean like the Norwegian 737 Max that was stuck in Iran for 2 months?

I am guessing that parking at LHR is a little more costly than parking at SYZ. And in this case they had the choice of flying it to its home base.
I've been waiting over 5 years with bated breath for someone to say that!

Just saw from Kol Haolim that no bodies have been found yet....The plane "only" fell around 1600 feet how could there be no bodies?

Thanks for posting. I think Boeing made/is making a PR mistake by not being ahead of all this, suggesting grounding, rather than waiting for regulators.

It is already mostly grounded around the world. The US seems to be a tiny sliver of the 7M8 market at this point. It's all about managing PR at this point.

This is a very interesting point about USA/AA

And we don't even know if any of this had anything to do with the ET302 crash, which based on reports had smoke coming out of it while it was in the sky.

I can't see how the US will not ground it now based on international and political pressure mounting.

Grounding it would have a big impact on Southwest as they have so many Max planes along with their recent labor issues.
