Trump grounding all 737 MAX -8s and -9s in US airspace.
Ouch.
That's going to be a problem, and a political one.
Look, if there's a safety issue, absolutely do something about it. But after defending the 737s, this looks funky.
He was criticized for NOT grounding them, and now FOR grounding them? Some people just want to find fault with him. They were interviewing the head of the FAA this morning on the news (just now). He emphasized that they base their decisions on data, and that until they had that data, they weren't going to ground the planes. Now that they have seen the data, they made the decision to ground them. As nonobaddog said, that is exactly how it should work.
