Capricorn Posted March 14, 2019 Share Trump buying stock? Â reading the various investment institution investment notes, the overall impact is deemed short term with a share price outlook about 66% higher than current. They believe the cost of repairs to existing planes and any restitution resulting from any civil claims won't dent the bottom line significantly.In other words, long term investors are still very bullish about the company and the MAX 8 and 9 product lines, despite the current issues.

patham Posted March 14, 2019 Share More results from my hard drive exploration. Still at Reno 2007. The RR Griffon engined P51 with the contra-rotating props is probably a good example of "just because you can do something doesn't mean that you should." It's all just engine - and the conversion seemed pretty prone to mechanical issues as it barely flew. The close-up of the highly polished spinner is a favourite of mine - just shows how much care and attention the owners and teams put into displaying their prides and joys.

mazambaan Posted March 15, 2019 Share What I glean from Avcom is that the MAX was marketed as not needing an extensive retraining exercise for present 7373 pilots, making it an attractive purchase. But the glitch may not be just software as new engines required a change in the aircraft layout which may make it less stable in these "runaway trim" / conflicting computer input type situations.Bring back the pilot  Pure software was the Quantas Airbus 330 in 1996 or so, sending the 'plane into steep dives, barely controllable. Good outcome though. Do Quantas boast they've never lost a passenger? Bateleur1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dibles Posted March 15, 2019 Share I heard on news Boeing has grounded all 737 MAX planes. Apparently the satelite images of the flight pattern of the Ethiopian crash was the same as the Lion Air one...  Ed-Zulu, Warthog whisperer and Capricorn 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They had an incident a few years back where they made a plan to fix and ferry(fly with no pax on board) the aircraft back to oz. They then retired the aircraft there.

So it's not like they got more revenue from the aircraft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
