Ryanair discussion ban?

zom

Is there a ban on Ryanair discussions on After Hours?
Most of boarders are Ryanair customers and they are entitled to discus important issues like Ryanair buying new Boeing 737 MAX (recently renamed to 737 8200)!

Ryanair have always used 737's so why would their buying the newest version of the plane be an issue.

It's not like they are going to fly it before it's released to fly by the regulators and they won't be doing using the same process again for certification.

It got moved to A&A but I think papering over the cracks with rebranding of the type should be made known to the public.

Are people unable to read the news? If public relies on AH to get relevant information then we have more serious issues than Ryanair rebranding planes.

They'll just charge you more if you want to fly on a safer aircraft.

How is Ryanair's ultra modern fleet unsafe?

They have a very good safety record.

But they're not using it yet and will only do so once given the all clear.

No different to other airlines but Ryanair always get singled out by haters.

Do you realise Ryanair are ultra sensitive about safety as they know one slip up will destroy them. They don't mess around with it or take short cuts in anyway.

Big concerns about the plane remain, but the idea that there is some kind of Big Aerospace man telling this this little website to shut up about it

(( L O L))

The charter states "Do not post here to reach a larger audience" so I'm sure this is why the post was moved.

It was given the all clear before Lion air and Ethiopian airlines flew them.

I'm not a Ryan air hater, although I'm sure they renegotiated the price on the orders.

Then why are they removing the "Max" lettering? A rather devious tactic of rebranding.

I'd say it's Boeing doing it.

Why have a go at Ryanair. Other Airlines such AIG (Iberia, British Airways and Aer Lingus etc) and United Airlines have done it too.

Guardian Article here

Why single out Ryanair?

Plane can only fly when cleared by regulators. Ryanair will not fly an unsafe plane.

The same reason as buildings often don't have 13th floor. It's not like the safety issues with the plane won't be resolved and planes thoroughly scrutinised.

The fault which is software related had not been discovered yet but is now identified and been fixed.

These are not the first ever plane crashes you know.

Flight safety is a constantly evolving and changing area.

How are you sure Ryanair renegotiated the price? Did Michael O'Leary call you?

If they did, how do you know other airlines didn't as well.

Why is Ryanair being singled out and other airlines doing the exact same thing are not being mentioned?

Why would you think that the aviation forum is purely for hobbyists? There's a lot of very serious and technical discussion in that forum as many of the posters there work in the industry. It's not just a bunch of lads who like looking at the pictures in aviation magazines or who park outside the airport to take photos.

Boeing also made some safety features "optional extras".

https://www.theguardian.com/business/2019/mar/21/doomed-boeing-737-air-max-planes-ethiopia-indonesia-crashes-lacked-two-optional-safety-features-report

Regulators do not require airlines to buy optional extras, and many low-cost carriers opt not to.

I wonder are RyanAir going to pay up for those...

You've being very defensive there about Ryan Air.
Of course Irish people are going to be concerned about an airlines choices
when they're pretty likely to fly with them in the future.

AFAIK the Ryanair version was never the standard "Max". It is special 'max' bums on a seat version of the '737 Max 8', aka 727 Max 200. It is longer, has 200 seats and an extra emergency exit door.

What Boeing done was make some warnings related to the MCAS system an optional extra. This was possible as they were not considered "safety critical" by the manufacturer. Its prohibited to make a safety critical feature an optional extra, as we know, Boeing found a work around and were stung.

For your other question... Yes Ryanair did purchase these optional extras ($80k per aircraft at list prices)

Does the MAX not indicate that the aircraft is chemtrail capable?

They screwed me for € 40 with a carry on bag last Friday in Budapest. A normal Samsonite bag. I am going to choose other airlines going forward where possible. Sick of them.

MCAS is only the tip of the iceberg. It now appears they have to upgrade the flight control computer, the venerable 286 is too slow the handle the 'fixed software' in realtime.
