Are you done patting yourself on the back now or is there something else we should know? 😉😉

Their stock may be up; their management still has problems.

It's always good to make money. About 12 years ago my brother told me about a company called Netflix. I was the Pharmaceutical Analyst for my firm's Wealth Management division. Now retired. I checked to see if we were looking at that stock. We were not. I bought it. During the first year, I bought more. Still own it.

Many 737's are up. The Max 80 should never been grounded. Two Max 80's crashed because the cockpit crews were not problem solvers nor even fair pilots. In both cases, the electric stab trim could have been turned off with the switch that every pilot of the 737 series pilot knows about. I worked at the American Airlines Flight Academy for 31 years as a flight simulator engineering expert so I know this airplane very well.

I talked to a good friend of mine who is a pilot for United on this very subject... he said the very same thing as you. It was lack of training and something to do with Southwest Airlines insistence ( they were promising a huge order if this was answered ) that the layout of the cockpit remain the same as before, rather than a whole new more modern layout. His thought, having been trained on many different planes as new assignments come up, it created a false sense of familiarity between the old and new planes when many changes really took place- especially for countries and smaller airlines training pilots and the cost involved. They cut corners in training, people died... they blamed a plane they weren't qualified to fly so no one would blame them.

Didn't buy any did you?

You have to remember there were more problems that surfaced after really looking into that aircraft, than just that trim turn off problem, plus they should not have just relied on one sensor, they should have had two to cross reference as a back up. I believe there was more wrong than just that one thing, with the MAX.

And how many 737’s did American Airlines own / fly?..”just askin”

I am not a pilot. I have been a SW engineer for 40 years.

I am retired SW Engineer.

As usual, the “IEEE Spectrum” got it right.

I have been retired since 1996 and have no idea how many 727 variations that A.A. owns but the number has to be in the hundreds. It replaced the MD80's as the smallest airplane in the A.A. fleet. I'm sure that you can find a more accurate count. My only work on the 727 simulator was the one that we built using a 707-300 cockpit shell and motion base along with the computer, linkage and interface units. This was done for Southwest Airlines and kept at the A.A. facility. It was Southwest's first simulator. At that time, American had zero 727 aircraft.

As an aside, Southwest's chief pilot was Raul Cabeza who gained fame by flying a Cubana Airline flight destined for South America to Miami. Yes, Raul's family was aboard that flight. I'm not sure but I would bet that some of the other passengers remained in Miami as well.
