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 months

Seems like ferry flights are allowed now

from twitter - UA1273 seems like the first flight to be affected by the US grounding, flight was taxing

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

Seems extreme, unless this evidence is worse than expected

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.

Seems like they found some new evidence around making the move.

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.

Seems reasonable.

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.
