    How can it take off when it has no license to fly in Germany? :)

    You can move it out by cutting off its wings and transport the fuselage via railway.

    Perfection isn't necessarily overbuilding a product, something Germans tend to do.

    You can't afford to dick people around over landing slots. Screw around with Canada and Russia ... lose the right to overfly those two countries and see how life proceeds.

    As i said, all good, but it wont be allowed to take off and leave. This aircraft has no certificate and nos not allowed to fly here.

    You could only move it out via railway.

    That is an interesting question. It does seem that things are increasingly too complicated for their human designers and makers to fully understand and repair as needed. If Google is to be believed, they're not entirely sure how their own YouTube algorithm works.

    Imagine how out-of-hand a genuine artificial intelligence would be!

    It has to do with banning 737s from German airspace. If you make the ban permanent, there will be--and should be--payback.

    How so? Its banned in entire EU, China, Brazil, Canada, Russia, Australia, New Zealand and also USA to fly. Its banned because its flawed.

    Now Boeing has time to correct it. Then your FAA will check it and might give it a "go" for USA. Then our own "Flugsicherheit" will check it, since the FAA broke several rules and cant be trusted anymore.

    And if our guys say its safe, it will be allowed to enter airspace here again. :) sounds good?

    We are superior to the majority of nations in the world. Our engineering makes us export world master and thats ok for me.

    In your list Qatar is Nr. 1, a retrograde muslim shithole that has a select few rich and depends on slaves. Is that your goal? Do you think Qatar is better than USA?

    I dont like your country but would chose it evry day over a shithole like Qatar.

    Lol, that is laughable. Mitsubishi Heavy Industries has annual sales of $37.04 billion, and 82,728 employees. Nothing was broken. Why did AIDA Cruises go back to Mitsubishi after AIDAprima for AIDAperla? Are Germans that dumb?

    Which had nothing to do with German engineers, the system was invented by a Dutch company, DK Group.

    But it won't stay banned when MCAS is fixed.
    Like I said, the 737 MAX 8 will be certified again.

    I think you misunderstand the impact of engineering.

    AIDA booked 3 ships to build from Mitsubishi. After tehy completed that, Mitsubishi left the cruise ship market

    https://asia.nikkei.com/Business/No-more-big-cruise-ships-for-Mitsubishi-Heavy

    TOKYO -- Mitsubishi Heavy Industries has made it official -- it will stop taking new orders for large passenger ships.

    Huge losses suffered by its cruise ship division have forced Mitsubishi Heavy to make deep cuts in its sacred shipbuilding business.

    They found other issues meanwhile. The German Flugsicherheit says teh computer chips instaleld are flawed and freeze when much data flow occurs.

    Meanwhile passengers call airlines here and ask if they must fear to sit in a 737 MAX-8. The BILD media campaign worked wonders. The 737 brand is burned here.

    I think you misunderstand what important engineering has for Germany. Its what our nation makes money with. Cars, jet engines, turbines, generators, weapon systems, ships, trains, robotic devices ect.

    What you think we export so much?

    Germany depends heavily on engineering products. Its our core business.

    There will be payback against Airbus if this continues. Boeing screwed up by depending on a single sensor and trying to make money off selling add-on safety. Regulators, including German regulators, screwed up by letting them do it.

    Wrong, there was an agreement, that with FAA checks, we certificate as well. Since FAA was shown corrupted, we check ourself now as well.

    And what payback? You are angry that we check if this machine is flyworthy? Your own FAA found more flaws as well.
