The airplane reprtedly was an american eagle flight..the seats on those aircraft are all the same and there are no "better"nor bigger ones..the woman obviously doesnt fly much, and thought her "scam" would work..yes,that scam will cost her attorney fees,reimbursement to American eagle,and a lot of embarrassment due to her ignorance..

my goodness..the pictures show a lot of damage to one aircraft and also to the fuel truck..was it anew driver perhaps who didn't know how to control the truck? or maybe he was "slightly impaired" by something??in any case,wow...

How sad for his family and friends...sometimes heart issues do not automatically show up in physicals,especially if this person had no prior symptoms or episodes..

I don't think the mayor of a city or municipality can "ban" a particular type of aircraft,unless the faa has said its unsafe to be flown,or unless the runways length and capability regarding the weight and stopping distance will not be compatable with the cities runways or facilities..why the grandstanding by this mayor, as the faa is already pushing boeing,and the airlines have already stopped using or buying that plane for a while..

the union and its representative for the pilots,have every right to voice their concerns over the continued use and purchase of boeing 737 aircraft...wn is noted for having only one aircraft in service, the 737,whichever model it may be..it seems that boeing has had ample time to correct the serious problem with the 737max,and boeing knows the airlines have contracted to buy a lot of them,so why not give more push towards boeing doing what is right and immediately putting all of their experts to work on correcting the flaw?yes,boeing shreholders and their ceo should be concerned,but not because the union suggested buying from another manufacturer,but because it is their fault there even is a problem..

commercial aircraft are open with food carts being brought on,baggage bins open for loading and unloading,and overnight cleaning..there are a number of ways"visitors"like that can get on the airplane..

although its definitely a monetary and scheduling problem for southwest and other carriers who have purchased,or have purchases orders for the 737max,knwoing an aircraft can and will function safely with passengers and crew on board is of utmost importance, and after all, these carriers business is to safely transport people from one place to another..they made the right decision until the problem is fixed..

that is unfortunate for him,however,when you are the man in charge,the ceo in this case,all of the issues and problems go back to you and the shareholders hold you accountable..the 737 max has been an example of negligence on the part of designers and engineers who put the aircraft into service,and it cost lives..in actuality,he should be replaced as ceo..

the pictures shown of the pollution in the air in new delhi are awful! I remember pictures of los angles in some earlier years,before california enacted a lot of environmental laws,where the air looked lie that..i also remember visiting grand canyon once several years back, and off in the distance seeing brownish clouds..i asked the park ranger about that and he actually told me that was visible air pollution from los angeles!all living creatures need clean,unpolluted air to breathe,and it appears india is not addressing a truly serious problem..
