----------------------------------------------
I’m so weak. After months and months of proudly claiming that I would be avoiding the 737 MAX at all costs for at least two years, I caved. Spectacularly.
This is footage from United Airlines flight number 1946 from Los Angeles (LAX) to Houston (IAH) aboard a two month old 737 MAX 9 (N27515).
I had a seat in Economy Plus (9A) for this two hour flight, and it was a decent ride for sure.
So. What do I think of the United Airlines 737-9 MAX? All I’m gonna say is that it was BETTER than I expected, and this experience helped me to rebuild my confidence in this aircraft.
I’m so ready for my next MAX flight!

@james-baa1249 3 года назад

Hello from a 787 and 777 first officer. The 737 MAX is one of the safest planes in the sky, if not the safest. The aircraft has undergone a lot of scrutiny. I am confident in the abilities of the aircraft. Considering the political costs, the FAA isn’t going to let the MAX slip up again.

@sanspotter 3 года назад

I’m thinking the same thing - the pressure to ensure that the max is safe has been immense.

Just discovered the channel, and I'm liking it. Just wanted to drop a comment on the stroopwafel. I'm from the mid-west, but I married a nice Dutch lady, and we love us some stroopwafels. One visit to the Netherlands I even got to make one fresh... OMG, that thing was a taste explosion in my mouth! And here's the obligatory pronunciation paragraph. It's Strope-vafel. A "oo" in Dutch is a long oh, and the "w" is pronounced like a "v". Dutch is weird, but I have most of it figured out, I think. I should after 20 years.

@timduggan1461 3 года назад

Look, I'm an airline pilot (now retired) and have thousands of hours on various B737 models. This whole "737MAX debate" was a bit over-blown to be sure. YES, the MCAS system *should* have been better explained to pilots --- especially to "third world" operators. But properly understanding what is called a "Runaway Trim" situation and corrective actions is/are basic to that airplane design. So, no...it's not really a case of a "software patch" as you stated.

It looks like a mini 787 inside. Space looks good though it helps there was no one was in the middle seat. Though I disagree with your opinion on stroopwaffel. I think it's the best thing United gives out. Now that you flew on a max, are we going to see some redesigned max 707, 717 etc?

The reason that some of United’s 737 MAX aircraft have the older paint job is because United took delivery of the 737 MAX in 2018 when they hadn’t released the new paint job yet. Also at 8:47 Crop Circles!! 👽🛸👾 🤔🤣🤣

Well Scott you are not doing too bad on the attention span scale. Humans today are said to have an attention span of two seconds less than that of a goldfish. The goldfish has an attention span of 9 seconds giving humans an attention span of 7 seconds and a fly has an attention span of 5 seconds so not that far off...unless you look at it by percentage. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣. Second, I am guessing most people on that flight didn't know the difference between that MAX and any other plane in the United Airlines fleet. Besides you have a better chance of being dragged off a United plane and beaten than something happening with that plan..oh wait.

@sanspotter 3 года назад

Two seconds less than a goldfish??? Yet another reason to convince me that the human race is doomed. 😅 Though I guess I don’t feel as bad about having such a short attention span anymore. I mean, if everyone is like that…😄 And yeah, I didn’t see a single person get dragged off this flight. 😂
