Congress rejects including an exemption to defense bill for two new 737 MAX variants
WASHINGTON — Late on Tuesday, U.S. legislators decided against adding a delay to an annual defense bill that would impose a higher safety level for contemporary cockpit alerts on two new Boeing 737 MAX variants. (www.airlinerwatch.com) Más...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
It's always money in a rich man's world. The logical fix would either add seating at a huge developmental cost or reduce seating at a revenue cost. You do not have to fix everything with a new digital fix. Engineering is a safer fix in my opinion. However the digital cost will have a higher rebate return. In aircraft building the word safety seems to start with the letter $.
Extremely poor writing. I guess if you already know, you know. But you wouldn’t know from reading this article. This is the second aviation article I’ve read this morning that fails to make any sense whatever.
I've read the article twice, and I'm still not sure whether the flying public should feel safer. Surely it's not too much to ask the writer to untangle the negatives, so we can understand who proposed the legislation, who it benifits, why it was opposed, and on what grounds.
I think it about time that Boeing dumped the old 1960's approach to aircraft control and move into the 21st century with the 737. Airbus have been using fly by wire for nearly 40 years on the A320 family and build a better aircraft.
It's no good just to strap on two new engines on a 1960's era 737 and call it a new aircraft.

Ummmm, the Max uses fly-by-wire.
Good!
