Weak interviewers. They love to hear themselves and their opinions more that the guest.

[@briancook9079]

Agreed, I'm not even sure why Ed agreed to interview with these yayhoos. They're very unprofessional.

[@Yx273]

Who’s the man in the middle doing? Is that a doll?

[@twany442]

I'll be flying Delta from now on. They were smart not ordering the 737 max.

[@FranklinCounty100]

2020 made them think again

[@johnbochenek5526]

On the plus side, Delta does not have any 737 MAX aircraft. But that is now counterbalanced by Ed Bastian dismissing the 737 MAX problem as "one-off". Perhaps if Boeing would have grounded the 737 MAX after they learned the cause of the first (Lion Air) accident - I could agree. Even after Boeing knew it was an MCAS fault caused by a single angle-of-attack vein failure, they did nothing to prevent the inevitable repeat accident in Ethiopia. Boeing is an amazing company with a long history of producing outstanding airplanes (I am type rated in three including the 737). But to be an airline CEO who does business with Boeing and show no concern about how and why the Boeing of today is different from the Boeing of 30 or 40 years ago is either a matter of being uninformed (ie... foreign pilots were really the problem) or perhaps disingenuous. My hope is that Ed Bastian will regard Boeing with a more critical eye in the future after multiple failures on the part of Boeing management caused multiple accidents inside of five months where all on-board perished.

Ed Bastian is only making the Max issue seem minor as he does business with Boeing. Fact of the matter is the current Boeing leadership is riding the coat tails of the once proud Boeing. The current vulture culture can be traced back to the McDonnell Douglas merger. Look at the Boeing sign what do you see, it's right there in front of you. You see the Douglas emblem in front of Boeing representing Douglas / Boeing. The Douglas bean counters have been at work ever since squeezing vendors, employees, buyers, quality and inspection. Cost, Schedule and Shareholder Value!

Onliner dregs writes in the news. I do not recommend to anyone. And as a logo, instead of a stake, they are more suitable for a rooster or a rat. They also violate the rights of persons with disabilities in the country.

[@AlanHudgins]

Great guest, terrible interviewers.

[@evelynramos445]

Need height change for construction as well?

[@linkroute42]

The honesty is that he doesn't mention that he included DGS in that 80,000 strong but you sit here and pay a partially owned subsidiary by Delta those $9 , to work the ramp outside. But because it's not Mainline Employees, then we don't matter

[@plef5566]

If it’s a one off would Ed Bastian fly on a 737 Max? Would he let his family fly in a 737 Max?

[@briancowell3891]

Did she say that she doesn't like sitting in coach class , that she prefers to sit up front with the white guys. Around the 19.20 min mark . I don't know what her motivation for such a comment was but it doesn't sound good.
