My first airplane flight of any kind was on a 727. My little league football team flew from SLC to California in November of 1970. Walked up that rear ramp did not realize it was unique until later.

Billy bob believes the propaganda about “mostly peaceful protests” Has a bad case of TDS. I think they are way to nice to the rioters, damaging, looting, assaulting those that disagree. Overall criminals in need of the jack boot

Not the right place or time to fight this war. When forced to wear a mask, most do. When not forced to wear a mask most don’t. At some level we all know it’s just a con, but we go along to get along. We have been forced to wear a mask to fly. So wear something. When you look at what constitutes compliance with the rule you realize that it is not about medical safety. A nylon stocking pulled over my face. An old bandanna around my neck, pulled up as needed. The vented N-95 mask sold at Home Depot meant to protect while installing insulation. A mask reused 100 times, full of spit and germs. These and many more ineffective methods will bring you into compliance. Properly worn a medical grade device is changed both any time it is touched or after 30 minutes of wear. If you are afraid, wear a face shield and a new medical grade devise. If you see reality wear the most comfortable, least obtrusive thing you can. Fight this battle in another forum. Loosing flight privileges is

It is sad to think that the media I has convinced even the educated that the “Emperor Has No Clothes” The truth gets voted down and the scare propaganda gets voted up. Truth is truth. Votes don’t change the truth. They just show how easily manipulated people are. Matt is right Brad is not. “Any society that will give up a little liberty to gain a little security will deserve neither and lose both” It happening to us, now. The mask as enforced In these rules is not a medical device, it is a conditioning tool.

Two issues, One any business can do this. Fighting with the airlines who were forced by the government is the wrong answer. Two. Your post shows how well the media has done in convincing people that “The Emperor Has No Clothes” Every stat you post is twisted propaganda. It is not as easily transmitted as you fear. Every time a testing study is done the death rate goes down. More people have had it without knowing it than have been sickened by it. Everyone will eventually be exposed to it, mask or not, that’s how virus work. They eventually pass through the entire population. In the end it will be just another bug. The scary numbers you quote will be hundreds of times overstated. Remember when the death rate was 5-7% and millions would die? Yes your post is more of the same. You have been had,

The fact that this was down voted shows how well the media has done in convincing the population that the “Emperor has no Clothes” They will not see the truth and will not believe it when it is right in front of them. The only purpose for the mask is as a physiological weapon.

Sounds like a bunch of anti American trolls posted here. This will be the safest plane ever. The only variable will be the foreign pilots and maintenance crews that crashed before. Here let’s put a Pakistani crew in so we know their the best pilots out there. Some of these foreign crews are so good they don’t even need a license.

Lots of blame to go around. Those that blame only Boeing are wrong. Because of politics and a sensationalized media there is a severe over reaction. The planes will fly again. They will be safe. Everyone will forget. The “Max” name will disappear. Sooner the better for everyone involved, except the trial lawyers.

This article says more about the state of the legal system and the abuses by the trial lawyers than about airplanes.

Problem was not fixed at all. It was swept under the rug. If they were really interested in repairing the plane and not just returning it to service the outcome might have been different.
