No passengers on the plane. Still, not a good sign.

I think President Trump did Boeing a tremendous favor by grounding those planes - not to mention most importantly protecting the public.

Why these problems seemingly “out of the blue”?
They do a botched fleetwide software update or something?

Interesting to label the pilot and co-pilot as “passengers”. The computer in charge and rebelling?

The media is now connecting anything that happens on a Max to the crashes, as usual.

The fact that they are not connected at all, doesn’t matter, of course.

That’s what I thought - “There’s the problem - nobody is flying the plane!”

Engine overheat warning caused the return, then it ingested a bunch of birds while landing.

Is Microsoft managing their patches?

"A Southwest plane that was on its way to be grounded..."

"A Southwest Boeing 737 Max 8 took off from Orlando International Airport at 2:50 p.m. on Tuesday. Airport officials said that it experienced a malfunction and had to return to Orlando for an emergency landing."

What part of "grounded" did they not understand?

Yes. They should ground them in place until they can apply the fix.

Not related to the recent issue.

Engine issue.

Has nothing to do with the current issue.

Engine issue.

And most Freepers posting here connect the AOA software issue with an unrelated engine issue.

Grounded for commercial use perhaps.

Southwest could of wanted their fleet at various centralized locations to initiate software updates/engineering refinements.

American pilots are well aware of how to operate against the software glitches. Engine issues seem mechanical, which hasn’t been a primary issue before with the Max 8.

Agreed. This type of thing is routine. It’s not news.

Sometimes in engineering, what appears to be the problem really isn’t.
It is possible that they haven’t found the real cause of the crash.

Even if a plane had a problem with the MCAS it’s easily handled by a competent pilot. I would say all airline pilots in America are competent.

Both issues arose because of software glitches and the lack of training on how to respond to those glitches.

A good crew looks at a lot of variables before freaking out and over-correcting. An inexperience crew goes in full panic mode when one instrument is “off”.

Boeing looks to be at fault though because glitches of any kind should not happen. If they do, the whole fleet should be grounded on the spot.
