not sure exactly the reason why the FAA doesn't want to ground the MAX while for a fire & no loss of life they grounded the Dreamliner's and didn't even allow ferry flights - LOT Polish had then just landed in ORD after their inaugural 787 flight and couldn't fly back to WAW and the aircraft was stuck in ORD for over 3 monthshttps://www.bizjournals.com/chicago/news/2013/01/17/a-bad-night-for-lot-polish-airlines.htmlhttps://airwaysmag.com/uncategorized/lot-polish-boeing-reach-agreement-dreamliner-compensation/
Lol, where did I offer money?
I don't think you understand how bets work
$5?
Pay up please.
@Dan pay up please too
Seems like ferry flights are allowed nowhttps://www.flightradar24.com/WJA8989https://www.flightradar24.com/ACA7051https://www.flightradar24.com/ACA7071
AC7071 seems to be taking a somewhat indirect route to stay over land. Not sure what that would help if the issue is with the sensor.
if it crashes they should at-least have evidence and not have to go fish in the ocean
Trump’s announcement followed one by Canada’s transportation minister grounding all the jets, saying a review of satellite-tracking data by his country’s experts found similarities between Sunday’s crash of an Ethiopian Airlines jet and an October Lion Air crash.

Black Boxes are being sent to Germany, is there no issues involved & ET does NOT want it to go the Washington?

from twitter - UA1273 seems like the first flight to be affected by the US grounding, flight was taxing
Status: We're sorry for returning to the gate. Your flight is delayed because of a recent order by the Federal Aviation Administration to ground all 737 MAX aircraft. We are working on options to get you on your way.
This is so strange.
“This is a new type of aircraft with a new black box, with new software. We can’t do it,” BFU spokesman Germout Freitag said.
Seems reasonable.
So why was it sent there in the first place?
ET are worried that US is biased and will lean towards pilot error?
I understand why ET might be worried, but Germany/EU are biased as well.
In ETs favor.
