This plane has been so micro-scrutinized that it is likely the safest plane to fly on than any other. Adding those AOA sensors should have been done while on the production line.

Thank you for this wonderfully objective and neutral review of this super scrutinized plane. I agree with the airlines that the only way to regain confidence in an aircraft is to fly it. That you neither encouraged nor discouraged flying it and just said that it needs to seriously prove itself was also a welcome change from the extremes. The extremes range from those that want to keep it flying without mentioning the global fallout, to those that want it permanently grounded and discontinued from that same ensuing global fallout. You gave a review on this plane that very few would be able to do since most have already made up their minds on this plane.

Good report. If you’re in Miami, you could do a report on the Airplane Store (diecast models etc.) for us readers. Was there a couple of years ago, didn’t want to leave!

I would have no problems getting on this plane. It will serve well for the next 20 years. After all the review of the engineering and systems the only thing that will take one down is an outside aggressor or pilot error.
