Rename Boeing’s 737 MAX? Airlines Already Aren’t Using ‘MAX’ Prominently
The aircraft in question was from Xiamen Airlines, which has not applied “MAX” markings since taking delivery of its inaugural MAX in May 2018, a half year before the first MAX crash. (www.forbes.com) Más...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
In the MAX lineup, the 737-8200 is a variant of the 737-8, with two additional doors so Ryanair can legally pack 200 passengers into the thing. Sounds like a dreadful experience, whatever they call it.
Change it to anything you want, .... and the media will report it and remind the people what it was and is and will be and, like Mr. Bain says, the public will scorn it and it will become a PR nightmare. Scrap the plane and take the write off. It has a bad name and bad reputation and it will only bring bad results if you try and build it, or fly it, or promote it.
Latin names always sound sophisticated. Perhaps the 737 Ruina would be a winner.
They should consider replacing the engines with CFM56's and calling it the 737 "NG". Has a nice ring to it, don't you agree?
Maybe Boeing should rename it the "737 Fin"? It has ended lives, careers, jobs, and perhaps a whole company.
This happened over five months ago. Its probably happened to all the others while in storage.
