I was actually thinking about this but didn't know how to word it...Both times the aircraft was in day VMC conditions, both seemingly experienced speeds much higher than what could and should be considered normal for level flight at low altitude, so what gives? I can certainly tell my airspeed by looking out the window, regardless of how many alarms at whatever obscene volume are blaring any time. If the data is to be believed, 330+ knots at around 1000AGL to me means someone forgot the cardinal rule: fly the airplane. Pitch, power, and if possible (it was) look out the damn window! Thoughts?

Or taking a long haul multiple flight trip with Ethiopian airlines?? I have a trip to Kenya with EA in next few weeks. The AA to Mombasa was meant to be on the 737-Max but guess they will still be grounded by time I get there. I flew with EA few times last year and found them to be good. I guess any airline can be unlucky, but maybe still would feel safer on an airline like BA, Emirates or KLM.

Anyone have a gut feeling on whether this will be a 2 day grounding or a 5 month grounding? Do we think Norwegian will be able to lease other aircraft for these routes any time soon or will those routes be cancelled for the duration of the grounding?
