The Boeing 737 MAX 8 aircraft, which had two air crashes in less than five months, was grounded by several national airlines. According to Reuters, Australian civil aviation temporarily suspended the Boeing MAX 737 aircraft.

According to the incomplete statistics of the Beijing Youth Daily reporter, the countries and airlines that have grounded the 737MAX have included: all Chinese airlines, all Indonesian airlines, all Singapore Airlines, Ethiopian Airlines, Cayman Airways, Comair, Brazil GOL, Mongolian Airlines, Moroccan Airlines, Mexican Airlines, Argentine Airlines, all Australian airlines.

In the early morning of March 11, the Civil Aviation Administration of China informed that, after less than five months, the Boeing 737-8 aircraft had two air crashes, which was alarming. In view of the fact that the two air crashes are newly delivered Boeing 737-8 aircraft, and they all occur in the take-off phase, they have certain similarities. In line with the management principle of zero tolerance for safety hazards and strict control of safety risks, in order to ensure the flight of civil aviation in China Safety, decided that the domestic transport airlines suspended the commercial operation of the Boeing 737-8 aircraft. The Civil Aviation Authority will contact the US Federal Aviation Administration and Boeing Company to notify the shipping airlines to resume the commercial operation of the Boeing 737-8 aircraft after confirming the relevant measures to effectively ensure flight safety.

After the Civil Aviation Administration of China announced the “suspension of the 737-8 commercial flight”, on March 11, the measures taken by the Indonesian civil aviation administration, including the temporary suspension of all Boeing 737MAX8, for in-depth inspection to ensure the status of these aircraft is suitable for commercial flights. . This measure has been approved by the Indonesian Minister of Transport after the relevant expert organization has proposed it. The Indonesian Minister of Transportation said in the statement: "After confirming the details of the flight safety of this aircraft, this type of Boeing aircraft can be restarted."

Ethiopian Airlines announced on March 11 that it temporarily suspended the Boeing 737MAX8. The company said in a statement that day, although it is not yet possible to determine the specific cause of the accident, but for security reasons, decided to stop all Boeing 737MAX8 aircraft from now on. When the company resumes, the company will issue a separate notice.

Multinational civil aviation administrations and airlines have successively made the decision to temporarily suspend or check the Boeing 737MAX8 aircraft. Cayman Airways issued a statement on the 11th, saying that in a responsible attitude towards passengers and crew members, Cayman Airways decided to completely stop the Boeing 737MAX8 aircraft. The company is currently in communication with Boeing and the Cayman Islands Civil Aviation Authority to monitor the progress of the investigation.

On the 11th, the Korea Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport requested South Korea’s East Star Airlines to conduct an emergency safety check on its two Boeing 737MAX8 aircraft.

Today, the Australian Civil Aviation Department announced the suspension of the 737MAX8 commercial flight.

The Federal Aviation Administration's FAA issued a statement on March 11 local time that the FAA team and the National Transportation Safety Board are investigating the Ethiopian air crash. The FAA issued a notice of continued airworthiness for the 737MAX. The FAA said it will continue to evaluate and monitor aircraft performance and will take immediate action if factors affecting safety are discovered.

ARJ-21 still has perfect record. If you did checkout the development of B737 Max, it was a rushed job. The amount of time to get this plane commission for operational use is hard to believe of that short.

More or less suggested a shabby job by the americans.

Flight testing
The first flight took place on January 29, 2016, nearly 49 years after the maiden flight of the 737, a 737-100, on April 9, 1967.[1] The first Max 8, 1A001, was used for aerodynamic trials: flutter testing, stability and control, and takeoff performance-data verification, before it was modified for an operator and delivered. 1A002 was used for performance and engine testing: climb and landing performance, crosswind, noise, cold weather, high altitude, fuel burn and water-ingestion. Aircraft systems including autoland were tested with 1A003. 1A004, with an airliner layout, flew function-and-reliability certification for 300h with a light flight-test instrumentation.[39]

The 737 MAX gained FAA certification on March 8, 2017.[8] It was approved by the EASA on March 27, 2017.[40] After completing 2,000 test flight hours and 180-minute ETOPStesting requiring 3,000 simulated flight cycles in April 2017, CFM International notified Boeing of a possible manufacturing quality issue with low pressure turbine (LPT) discs in LEAP-1B engines.[41] Boeing suspended 737 MAX flights on May 4,[9] and resumed flights on May 12.[42]

Introduction

The Boeing 737 MAX 8 entered service with Lion Air's subsidiaries Malindo Air/Batik Air
The first delivery was a MAX 8, handed over to Malindo Air (a subsidiary of Lion Air) on May 16, 2017; it entered service on May 22.[2]Norwegian Air subsidiary Norwegian Air International was the second airline to put a 737 MAX into service, when it performed its first transatlantic flight with a MAX 8 named Sir Freddie Laker on July 15, 2017 between Edinburgh Airport in Scotland and Hartford International Airport in the US state of Connecticut, followed by a second rotation from Edinburgh to Stewart Airport, New York.[43]

European countries banned Boeing 737-MAX8 passenger flights, including the United Kingdom, Norway, Germany, Ireland, Turkey
Global Times 2019-03-12 23:28:41
https://www.toutiao.com/a6667526649740788236/
According to Bloomberg News, the Civil Aviation Authority of the United Kingdom issued a directive prohibiting any Boeing 737 MAX 8 commercial airliner from arriving, leaving and flying over British airspace, the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) will likely follow the British choice. At present, apart from the UK, Norwegian Airlines, which belongs to Europe, has also stopped the operation of its 18 737MAX8 passenger aircraft. As of 23:23 on March 12th, Beijing time, Germany, Ireland and Turkey also announced the ban on the operation of the Boeing 737MAX aircraft.

Bloomberg said the United Kingdom has banned the use of Boeing's 737 Max aircraft to fly in or out of the UK after Sunday's 737MAX8 passenger plane crash caused doubts about its safety. According to a person familiar with the matter, the European security agency EASA is also preparing to emulate the UK, but Bloomberg said they demanded to remain anonymous before the announcement.

Although the FAA has repeatedly said that the Boeing 737MAX has no problem, the two accidents in the past six months have caused almost all aviation management agencies around the world to betray the FAA. Regulators in other countries have rarely ignored the US Federal Aviation Administration. Decide. At present, in addition to China and Indonesia, airlines in the United Kingdom, Australia, Malaysia, Singapore, Germany, Ireland, Turkey and other countries have announced the suspension or suspension of entry and exit of the 737MAX model. In the report, Bloomberg even played the word "Global Rebellion".

London Aerospace Analyst Jefferies International said by phone, "I am watching this event, which is full of surprises and confusion." "What we see here is almost a rebellion against the US Federal Aviation Administration. This is I saw this for the first time."

欧洲多国也禁飞波音737-MAX8客机，美媒：全球暴动
原创 环球时报 2019-03-12 23:28:41
据彭博社报道，英国民用航空局发布指令，禁止任何波音737 MAX 8商用客机抵达、离开、飞越英国领空后，欧洲航空安全局（EASA）将可能跟随英国的选择。目前除英国之外，同属于欧洲的挪威航空公司也停止了旗下18架737MAX8客机的运营。截止到北京时间3月12日23点23分，德国、爱尔兰、土耳其三国也宣布禁止波音737MAX型飞机运行。

彭博社称，在周日埃塞俄比亚航空公司的737MAX8客机坠机事件引发对其安全性的质疑之后，英国已禁止使用波音公司的737 Max飞机飞入或者飞出英国。据一位知情人士透露，欧洲安全机构EASA也正在准备效仿英国，不过彭博社称他们要求在发布公告前保持匿名。

尽管美国联邦航空管理机构FAA多次表示波音737MAX没有问题，但是半年内的两次事故导致几乎全世界的航空管理机构都背叛了FAA，此前其他国家的监管机构很少无视美国联邦航空管理局的决定。目前，除中国和印尼之外，英国、澳大利亚、马来西亚、新加坡、德国、爱尔兰、土耳其等国和各国的航空公司都纷纷宣布停飞或者暂停737MAX机型的出入境。彭博社在报道中甚至打出了“Global Rebellion”（全球暴动）这个词。

伦敦航空航天分析师杰弗里斯（Jefferies International）通过电话表示，“我正在观看这一事件，其中充满惊讶和困惑。” “我们在这里看到的几乎是对美国联邦航空局的反叛。这是我第一次见到这种情况。”

(Observer Web News) Faced with doubts, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is the only major aviation authority in the world that has not yet announced the suspension of the Boeing 737Max aircraft.

According to USA Today's March 12 report, the US Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) still expressed support for the safety of the Boeing 737Max aircraft on the 12th, and said that it did not find any problems related to the aircraft and ordered the grounding. . Even Britain, France, Germany and other countries have joined the ranks that prohibit the aircraft from taking off.

FAA acting director Daniel K. Elwell said in a statement, "As of now, our review results did not show system performance issues and could not provide a basis for aircraft grounding."

He said that the FAA will continue to investigate this model after the Ethiopian crash, and if it finds the situation, the agency will "take immediate action."

According to two unnamed officials, US President Trump spoke to Dennis Muilenburg, CEO of the company on the 12th, but this was a private conversation and declined to give more details.

On March 10, the Ethiopian Airlines ET302 flight crash resulted in the death of 157 people on board, and more than 20 airlines around the world have ordered the suspension of Boeing 737Max related models. The Esplanade crash was also the second major flight safety accident in less than five months for the Boeing 737Max8. On October 29, 2018, the same model of the Indonesian Lion Air Flight 610 crashed 12 minutes after taking off at Jakarta Airport. The 189 passengers and crew were not living.

Currently, the Boeing 737Max aircraft in service include 74 US domestic airlines and nearly 400 aircraft worldwide.

On March 12th, Boeing stressed that it is full of confidence in the safety of the aircraft. The company said in a statement, "The FAA does not currently require any further action. Based on the information currently available, we have no basis to release new guidance to operators."

Earlier, the day before Daniel K. Elville made the above statement, the FAA said, "There was an external report that the Air France crash was similar to the Indonesian Lion Air Flight 610 accident on October 29, 2018. This investigation has only just begun. So far, we have not received any data to make any conclusions or take any action."

The FAA said it has asked Boeing to complete the flight control system improvements for the 737Max8 series aircraft by the end of this month, which was proposed after the crash of the Lion Air crash last year. In addition, the FAA also said that it is providing technical support to the Air France crash accident investigation department, and Boeing also said it will assist the investigation.

However, many countries have issued a statement to stop the Boeing 737Max8.

The British Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) said that there is not enough information about the recent crash. However, “as a preventive measure, we have issued instructions prohibiting any commercial passengers of 737Max aircraft operators from landing, taking off or flying over British airspace.”

On March 13, Beijing time, according to incomplete statistics of Bloomberg, as of 8:00 am on the same day, at least 43 countries (regions) had completely grounded 737MAX8, and one or more airlines in 8 countries were suspended. The 737MAX8 operates.

Picture from pengpai news

Although the FAA still supports the Boeing 737Max in the face of doubts, the sound of the aircraft has been suspended in the United States.

The Transport Workers Union said it should be grounded before further investigations come out; and in a close-up, "the public must always be placed before profits." The Association of Flight Attendants also called for grounding. The association has nearly 50,000 members and is part of the American Communications Workers Union.

Republican Senator Mitt Romney of the United States and Massachusetts Democratic Senator Elizabeth Warren called on the 12th that "out of caution for flight safety," the FAA should order a flight until security is ensured. .

Romney said on Twitter that the FAA should ground the Boeing 737Max8 aircraft before investigating the cause of the recent crash and ensuring the airworthiness of the aircraft.

Texas Republican Senator Ted Cruz said he would hold a hearing on the cause of the crash as chairman of the Senate Aerospace Subcommittee.

In addition, Southwest Airlines, American Airlines and United Airlines indicated that they still have confidence in the flight. Both Southwest Airlines and American Airlines stated that their flight data indicates that the aircraft is safe. Southwest Airlines said on Twitter that the company's Boeing 737Max aircraft has accumulated 31,000 flights and plans to continue flying this model.

US President Trump also joined Twitter in the discussion, but he did not express a clear position on whether to stop. Trump said that the current aircraft has become complicated and the pilots don't need it, as long as the MIT computer is ready. "(In the event of an airplane failure) a decision is made in seconds, and complexity can be dangerous....but I don't need Einstein to be my pilot. I want excellent flight professionals to control the aircraft easily and quickly. "

（观察者网讯）面对质疑，美国联邦航空管理局（FAA）是目前唯一尚未宣布停飞波音737Max机型飞机的世界主要航空管理机构。

据今日美国（USA Today）3月12日报道，美国联邦航空管理局（FAA）12日仍对波音737Max飞机的安全性表示支持，并称没有发现任何与这架客机有关的问题而下令停飞。即便英、法、德等国已先后加入禁止该机型飞机升空的行列。

FAA代理局长丹尼尔·K·埃尔维尔（Daniel K. Elwell）在一份声明中表示，“截至目前，我们的审查结果没有显示系统性能问题，无法为飞机停飞提供依据。”

他称，FAA在埃塞俄比亚坠机事件后将继续针对这款机型进行调查，如果发现情况，该局将“立即采取适宜行动”。

另据两位不具名官员消息，美国总统特朗普12日与音公司首席执行官丹尼斯·穆林堡（Dennis Muilenburg）通话，但这是一次私人谈话，拒绝透露更多细节。

3月10日，埃塞俄比亚航空ET302航班失事导致机上157人全部丧生，随后全球二十多家航空公司已下令停飞波音737Max相关机型。此次埃航坠机事故也是波音737Max8飞机在不到5个月内发生的第二起重大飞行安全事故。2018年10月29日，同款机型的印尼狮航610航班在雅加达机场起飞12分钟后坠毁，189名乘客和机组人员无人生还。

目前，正在服役的波音737Max飞机包括美国国内航空公司74架及全球近400架。

3月12日，波音公司强调对飞机“安全充满信心”。该公司在一份声明中表示，“FAA目前没有要求采取任何进一步行动，根据目前可获取的信息，我们没有任何依据向运营商发布新的指导意见。”

在丹尼尔·K·埃尔维尔发表上述声明的前一天稍早时，FAA表示，“有外部报道称，埃航坠机事故与2018年10月29日印尼狮航610航班事故具有相似性。但这起调查才刚开始，到目前为止，我们尚未得到任何数据以作出任何结论或采取任何行动。”

FAA称，已要求波音公司在本月底前完成737Max8系列飞机的飞行控制系统改进，这是自去年狮航坠机事故后提出的。另外，FAA还表示，正向埃航坠机事故调查部门提供技术支持，波音公司也称将协助调查。

但是，目前已有多国发布声明停飞波音737Max8。

英国民用航空管理局（CAA）称，关于最近的坠机事故，还没有足够信息。但是，“作为预防性措施，我们已发出指示，禁止任何737Max飞机运营商的商业旅客航班降落、升空或飞越英国领空。”

北京时间3月13日，据彭博社不完全统计，截至当天上午8时，至少已有43个国家（地区）全面停飞737MAX8，另外还有8个国家的1家或1家以上的航空公司暂停737MAX8运营。

尽管FAA面对质疑仍支持波音737Max，但美国国内出现了停飞该机型的声音。

运输工人工会（Transport Workers Union）称，在进一步调查结果出来前，应该停飞；并在推特写道，“永远必须将公众置于利润之前”。美国空乘协会（Association of Flight Attendants）也呼吁停飞，该协会拥有近5万名成员，属于美国通讯工作者工会的一部分。

美国犹他州共和党参议员罗姆尼（Mitt Romney）与马萨诸塞州民主党参议员沃伦（Elizabeth Warren）12日则呼吁，“出于对飞行安全的足够谨慎”，FAA应下令停飞，直到确保安全。

罗姆尼在推特称，在调查出最近坠机事故的原因、并确保飞机适航性前，FAA应停飞波音737Max8机型飞机。

德克萨斯州共和党参议员特德·克鲁兹（Ted Cruz）则称，他将以参议院航空航天小组委员会主席身份举行一次关于坠机原因的听证会。

此外，美国西南航空公司、美国航空公司与美国联合航空公司表示，仍对飞行有信心。西南航空与美国航空公司均称，自己的飞行数据显示飞机是安全的。西南航空公司在推特表示，该公司的波音737Max飞机已累积飞行31000次航班，并计划继续飞行这款机型。

美国总统特朗普也在推特加入了讨论行列，不过他没有就是否该停飞一事表达明确立场。特朗普称，现在的飞机变得复杂，飞行员都不需要了，只要MIT的电脑就行了。“（飞机发生故障时）需要分秒决策，而复杂性会带来危险。……但我也不需要爱因斯坦当我的飞行员。我想要让优秀的飞行专业人员可以轻松快速地控制飞机。”

The same point of two major aircraft crashes:
1) Both accidents occurred during the take-off phase (one crash after 13 minutes of take-off and another crash after 4 minutes of take-off)
2) There are no life-savings in both accidents, and there is no reaction time at all.
3) When two accidents occurred, they were newly delivered aircraft, and the inspection before the flight was basically no problem.

The US FAA continues to insist that there is no problem, and it is clearly shirking responsibility for Boeing.

Good decision, too many human blood in that junk plane

US: Huawei will kill you but Boeing is safe, so ban the former but not the latter.

I feel sorry for Americans here whose government clearly demonstrated that they put corporate profits ahead of people's lives and safety.

VANCOUVER (NEWS 1130) – Sunwing has joined the long list of airlines grounding their Boeing 737 MAX 8 airplanes in the wake of the Ethiopian Airlines crash on Sunday.

This makes Sunwing the first Canadian airline to park the jet. Air Canada and WestJet also fly the new Boeing model, but are continuing to keep the plane in service. There are a total of 37 MAX 8 planes in the airlines’ fleets.

The airlines of 50 countries have stopped flying Boeing 737MAX. What is the United States still insisting on?

Since the emergence of 157 people in the affliction, the list of Boeing 737MAX series models that have been grounded by countries and major airlines around the world has been "expanded every hour."

China, Australia, the European Union, India... As of March 13, according to media incomplete statistics, 43 countries and regions have completely suspended the aircraft, and at least one airline in 8 countries has suspended this. One type of operation.

To this day, Boeing is still swallowing up, delaying the release of the flight stop command and even painstakingly issued a statement saying that the control system will be modified to "make the safer model safer."

The US regulator, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), continued in the statement that "there has been no performance problem so far, and there is no reason for this type of aircraft to be grounded. The civil aviation departments of other countries have not provided us with reason to suspend navigation." evidence of". However, the FAA also requested Boeing to make changes to the software and control system of the 737MAX8/9 to prevent stalls and update the pilot training manual.

The attitude of Boeing and FAA is also surprising. The Boeing 737MAX series is a new model that has just been put into operation in May 2017 and is currently the most popular model of Boeing. In less than two years, 350 identical passenger aircraft have been performing flights. Boeing has more than 150,000 employees in the United States, and hot models are critical to the company.

Boeing stocks fell by as much as 12% on the opening of Wall Street on Monday, as the number of countries stopped “stopping”. It also fell by 5.36% at the close. As the civil aviation expert Balaqiao said, Boeing is facing a "deadlocked dilemma" - if the 737MAX series is stopped, the commercial cost is huge, and the consequences are difficult to predict.

As for the FAA, there are more considerations as government agencies, such as political influence, unemployment rate, and “the first in the US”. This is even linked to more complex and more difficult problems - the economist Meruzzo has revealed that the United States had hoped to promote China-US trade balance by forcing China to buy more Boeing 737MAX passenger aircraft. So of course, at the last moment, they certainly don't want to stop.

But the key issue is that passenger aircraft is not only satisfied with "data security," it is also a "trust vehicle." If passengers and the market lose trust in a certain type of aircraft, even if manufacturers and regulators try to deny it, it will not help.

Regardless of how to defend, the fact that the aircraft crashed in less than half a year is a fact that is not a problem for airlines, markets, passengers and crew members.

In the past few days, passengers and crew members of many countries in the world have questioned that "the 737MAX has not been parked." "I bought the 737MAX flight." This is bound to put increasing pressure on the relevant national regulatory authorities and airlines. Not only that, but several large overseas households announced the suspension of the first time, which will undoubtedly produce huge demonstration and chain effect.

This uneasiness is still spreading and finally arrived in the United States: the Airline Personnel Alliance (APFA), an employee group representing American Airlines employees, has asked its members to "don't board the Boeing 737MAX series of passengers if you feel uneasy" .

Although the exact cause of the crash of the Egyptian Airlines Boeing 737MAX passenger aircraft has been investigated so far, this is not the reason for “no stopping” – just because “the cause of the accident is unknown”, people asked for “clear the cause”.

What's more, after two accidents, some technicians pointed out that the Boeing 737 "mixed and matched" the low-wing design and the powerful CFM LEAP-1B engine, which increased the difficulty of handling, caused greater head-up torque and increased the risk of stall. After that, the Boeing 737MAX added a fly-by-wire system, and specially designed a trimming system MCAS that allows the aircraft to automatically bow, but some hidden dangers are still there. Although the reason for this incident may not be here, it obviously needs Boeing to face it.

After all, for a kind of “trust vehicle”, those passengers and airlines “have to find out the reasons” are understandable. If Boeing and the FAA continue to "not let go", it is not difficult to foresee that the pressure they will face in the future will only grow larger and larger, and the uncertainty brought about by it will continue to increase.

50国航司停飞波音737MAX，美国还在坚持什么？

自导致157人罹难的埃航空难发生以来，全球各国、各大航空公司停飞波音737MAX系列机型的名单“每小时都在延长”。

中国、澳大利亚、欧盟、印度……截至3月13日发稿时，据媒体不完全统计，已有43个国家和地区全面停飞该机型，另有8个国家至少1家航空公司暂停了这一机型的运营。

时至今日，波音方面仍然吞吞吐吐，迟迟不愿下达停飞指令甚至煞费苦心地发布了一个文告，称将修改操纵系统“让本就很安全的机型更安全”。

而美国监管机构——联邦航空局（FAA）则在声明中继续表示“截至目前未发现存在性能问题，也没有理由让这型号飞机停飞，其它国家的民航部门也未向我们提供有理由停航的证据”。不过，FAA也同时要求波音公司对737MAX8/9型客机的软件和控制系统进行更改以防止失速，并更新飞行员培训手册。

波音和FAA的态度并令人意料。波音737MAX系列是2017年5月刚刚投入运营的新机型，也是目前波音公司最热销的机型。两年不到已有350架同型客机在执行航班任务。波音在全美雇员总数逾15万人，热销机型对公司而言至关重要。

由于各国相继“叫停”，波音股票当地时间周一在华尔街开盘瞬间跌幅高达12%，至收盘时也跌了5.36%。正如民航专家巴拉乔所言，波音正面临一个“死锁困局”——如果叫停737MAX系列则商业代价巨大，反之则后果难以预估。

至于FAA，作为政府机构考虑的则更多，诸如政治影响、失业率和“美国第一”等诸多问题。这甚至连着更复杂、更棘手的难题——经济学家梅鲁佐就曾披露，美国曾希望通过迫使中国购买更多波音737MAX系列客机促进中美贸易平衡。所以不到最后一刻，他们当然不希望叫停。

但关键问题在于，客机从来都不仅只满足于“数据安全”，它还是一种“信任交通工具”。如果乘客和市场对某种机型丧失了信任，即便制造商和监管机构竭力否认，也无济于事。

无论如何辩解，该机型在不到半年内坠毁两架是事实，对于航空公司、市场、乘客和机组成员而言，都是无法视若无睹的问题。

连日来，世界上许多国家的乘客、机组人员纷纷质问“737MAX停航没有”“我买的别是737MAX航班吧”，这势必给相关国家监管部门和航空公司以越来越大的压力。不仅如此，几个海外大户在第一时间宣布停航，无疑也会产生巨大的示范和连锁效应。

如今这种不安还在蔓延，并终于抵达美国本土：代表美国航空公司员工的雇员团体——航空公司人事联盟（APFA），已要求其成员“如果感到不安就不要登上波音737MAX系列客机执勤”。

虽然迄今为止，埃航波音737MAX客机坠毁的确切原因仍在调查，但这并非“不让叫停”的理由——正因为“事故原因不明”，人们才要求“把原因查清再说”。

更何况，在两次事故过后，有些技术人士指出，波音737将低翼设计、强劲的CFM LEAP-1B发动机“混搭”，增加了操纵难度，造成了更大的抬头力矩，增大了失速风险，之后波音737MAX增加了电传操纵系统，并特别设计了可让飞机自动低头的配平系统MCAS，但有些隐患仍在。虽然此次事发原因未必就在于此，但这显然需要波音方面正视。

说到底，对于一种“信任交通工具”，那些乘客和航司们“把原因查清再说”要求无可厚非。如果波音和FAA继续“不松口”，那不难预见，它们在未来一段时间里面临的压力，只会越来越大，由此带来的不确定性也会不断增加。
