Speaking of the Max 8, I opened my "Flightradar24" app on my iPhone earlier today just to see what was flying around near my home and saw there was a Max 8 (not under any commercial banner, but just "Boeing") flying from Seattle (Boeing HQ) to San Antonio. My guess is there was testing going on by Boeing engineers.

Hopefully no strange elevation changes. :wink-new:

In doing a little research on Flightradar24 it seems there have been several flights in and out of Seattle with the Max 8 in recent days.
 
Thanks for posting that screencap. I did some searching for the B38M (737Max8) and found it's currently still flying for Thomson/TUI as well as for Boeing flight. Thomson TUI is a British charter/low-cost airline. For some reason I'd thought all the 737Max8s are grounded except for testing.

I suspect any over US are by Boeing anf for testing. I thought they has all been grounded except testing too, but maybe that's only in US?
 
Hopefully this works. Listed this AM. Pretty sure that's were 1 of the storage areas are .
They are producing them at about 35 a month...so there are 737 maxes all over the place

TUI have grounded their 737s like everyone else ( I work for TUI ). Its costing us a fortune having to lease replacements. Not sure who will end up paying. It will probably end up going through the courts.
 
I doubt the airlines will sue
They'll work that out differently
Now the public...different matter
