A commercial airline pilot who analyses plane crashes is warning that another fault in the Boeing 737 MAX is in danger of causing the next catastrophic crash, and nothing is being done about it.
I haven’t flown in a long time, but starting around 2010, I began regularly smelling jet fuel during any flight. And it made me feel sick until the next day.
I’m sensitive to toxins, but my reaction led me to read about jet fuel. It’s one of the most toxic things on earth, and I can’t believe that the air is being drawn through the engines. That mashes so much sense now as to why I didn’t smell it as a kid.
I an neither an operations manager nor an engineer, so in lieu of those constraints, it seems preventative measures are these, replacing the engines with those without this particular LRD or providing a separate source for cabin air.
Either solution seems expensive to me. Expert opinion would be very helpful.
I think at the very least, these planes require an implemented solution. Whether that policy deploys is a matter for speculation.
Now, what really matters: if our dominant global rulers really cared about climate change, then commercial aviation would be severely restricted. For those old enough who lived near a major airfield after 9/11, remember how clear the skies were for those few days following?
Yes, ethics should compel building a flight-worthy aircraft should it be necessary to construct one. But our favorite planet needs us to walk to the dock or train station.

How do I tell if the plane is a 737 max? I have to travel to California next month, and my sister is worried about me
Flying. I told her I would not fly max
Plane- but not sure how I do that.
¡Ethics! is a frequent visitor to ¡Do Not Panic!
