They've lost more than $24b in shares since Sunday.
Grounding it may just be the quickest way to restore confidence in their products. I'm really a fan of Boeing and I hope they fix this to prevent more people from gruesome untimely death.

Don't you think it's the plunging stocks that caused them to ground the planes? Arrogant set of people... the information they're saying is new is what they already knew.

There is nothing they will fix that will make people intentionally board that plane ever again even for free

Assuming it's Chinese product, Western media won't let's hear word. The plane should be assembled and destroyed with latest nuclear weapons.
Also the company should be sued it seems they are not ready to take responsibility to the sorry incedence.
Western media exist for western countries, so is Chinese media for the Chinese.
If you want to hear good things about China and feel happy, start patronizing Chinese
cable TV and news media.

If you have been reading or watching western news, you would see that this is a major news
so your claim on letting you hear word is also false.

I think they grounded the planes not because of stock decline, I mean a stock will tank after any bad news, but I believe this was done out of pressure. Even Boeing CEO has repeatedly stated that it has no further advisory to issue and also, the claim a that it withheld pertinent data on MCAS is false. My opinion for which I may be wrong is that Pilots weren't properly trained on the new system. Give it a couple of weeks, the temporary bans will be lifted once software updates are pushed and correct flight training manuals are updated.

I feel sorry for all Boeing shareholders right now, I see their stock price falling another 30% before everything returns to normal. What I love about this Boeing story is the fact that I can head to facebook and twitter and talk about the aircraft even though i've never flown on a plane before and people will like my post. If something isn't done about this, Airbus may steal market share from Boeing. On the 20th minute on June 21st 1994, Rashidi became the first Nigerian player to score in the worldcup where we defeated Bulgaria 3-0.
It's like your money is plenty. You are sorry for Aeroplane share holders,
Abeg, I need money. Make I send account number?

They can no longer deny it, once Canada could no longer support Boeing due to similar data to what happened to ethpian airline, US had to backdown.

Na so.

I would buy plenty so that Boeing would bounce back and make upgrades to prevent more crashes.

That’s the proper thing to do. Since. It seems this error only occurs or is more obvious during early period of takeoff.
the technology there is to economize fuel. But when the software triggers the operation the pilots get confused and can't manage the situation properly.

The pilots are saying the root of the problem is the software...... Boeng apparently does not want to fix that.... but prefer to find ways to get around the problem... train pilots on what to do if the software acts up... put this stuff in their manuals etc... why not just replace the software? As one pilot said... what other problem lies in the software? And yes... I do agree they're also getting pushback...afterall... flyers will now certainly let their airline know they are not flying in that plane.

The system prevents the aircraft from pointing upwards at too high an angle, where it could lose its lift.

However, according to filings with the US Aviation Safety Reporting System, which pilots use to disclose information anonymously, it appeared to force the nose down.

In both cases, pilots were forced to intervene to stop the plane from descending.
Imagining 'intervening' throughout an 18hour flight. That would be quite an effort.

Wow

How can a pilot hand fly a plane for 12 or 13 hours. And correction it's the FAA that grounded the planes not Boeing the manufacturer.

They dont need to be 'intervening' all day, just shut down the auto pilot systems and fly the plane like any other plane, chikena.

Many pilots engage the autopilot during take off and landing, not through out the flight. They can always fly manually.

It seems in these cases the pilots didnt know it was the autopilot he engaged that is nosediving the plane, so he panicked instead of simply disengaging the autopilot.
