Boeing cancels 777X launch event after Ethiopian Airlines’ 737 MAX 8 crash
The ceremonial debut of Boeing’s 777x wide body aircraft, planned for March 13 in Seattle, will be postponed indefinitely, the company said, following the second deadly accident in just five months involving its 737 Max 8 plane. (www.rt.com) Más...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
If Boeing does not get in front of this incident and the publicity surrounding the 737 Max, people will stop flying on them.
This is going to cost them orders.
No they won’t, it’s all a cattle drive they wanna be somewhere they’re not right now, load the bus let’s go!!
I suspect the roll out will still occur, just without the fanfare. Boeing has stated that the program will be unaffected by this latest troubling Max 8 event and many ground run/ops. checks precede a first test flight that can't be accomplished in the hangar. No airplane goes from the production hangar to 16L/34R at PAE and I bet they start shufflin the lawyers before they start shufflin the engineers.
