Ryanair drops ‘MAX’ title from nose paint work on its 5th 737 MAX 200
As Boeing continues to grapple with new software problems on its 737 MAX line, Ryanair has started taking pre-emptive action of its own. (www.gatechecked.com) Más...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
If Ryanair thinks the public knows the difference, then it's reasonable to think that they do. Any airline with as much contempt for its customers as Ryanair that still thinks they know something (anything) should serve as a wake-up call to every other 737 MIN operator. The MAX name is toxic.
While they realize that the MAX name is toxic, this is the equivalent of trying to spray potpourri air freshener in the bathroom to make people get the false sense of belief that someone didn't just take a dump in the toilet. No matter how hard they can try to cover it up, if they pluck a duck and put a faux feather suit on it, if it still walks like a duck, quacks like a duck, has the bill/beak of a duck, and flies like a duck, it still just might be a duck. Trying to cover that up doesn't disavow that fact.
if you pluck a duck and put faux feathers it wont fly like a duck if at all. hence this headline.
But people that are flying Ryanair probably won't care. They were the airline that wanted to charge for restroom access, pillows, blankets, water, people were joking about Ryanair charging for air, and the CEO reportedly joked about doing it.
They also came up with the 'saddle' standup 'seat' to shoehorn more people (sheeple) into coach...
MOO!!!

The whole “Rebranding” concept was only acceptable to small minds.
You can rebrand a Ford Pinto all you want, and even call it “The Stallion”, but it’s still a Pinto.
Insinuating the general public won’t realize the truth of the matter insults all of us.
Fix it or scrap it, but don’t try to pull the wool over the flying public’s eyes.
Doing so will come back to bite them in the backside.

As a dying breed of software developers left (in the USA) I'm curios exactly how much $$ did Boeing really save by outsourcing their software development? (or Engineering)
Last I read Boeing was into this "savings" for cost of over 10 Billion which seems should be made as example of offshoring development.
Just retired from 30 years in travel and aviation software and thinking about writing a book about some of the disasters I've seen in the name of cost savings.

Would be an interesting read!
Please do write the book.
