I know that Boeing and more specifically the 737 Max 9 have been in the news the past few months for all the wrong reasons. Will you avoid flying this aircraft if the alternate options does not upset your flight plans and is comparatively priced? Let me know your thoughts on this.

As an aircraft mechanic, the recent incident with the doorplug coming off in flight is incomprehensible to me, Boeing has got some major issues with quality workmanship, that being said, the 737 max aircraft have gone over with a fine tooth comb because of these issues so I wouldn't hesitate to fly in one now.

[@suitesandlobbies]

Aloha Phil, I did not know you were an aircraft mechanic, good to know for sure. Thanks for your thoughts on flying this aircraft, especially with your background and experience.@@philvie

Yes I fly Airbus whenever possible and Boeing only if I can’t help it.

[@suitesandlobbies]

Thank you for sharing, Boeing definitely has its work cut out for it.@@rucky_665

look like the cheese thing was Bruschetta.

[@cawcaw1064]

I love the Straightaway Margarita, I mix it with the ginger ale since it is strong. I still want to try the old fashioned.

[@suitesandlobbies]

Good idea on the ginger ale mix, will have to try that.

[@themattressrun]

very good review. straight to the point, no frills, covering all the main points.

[@suitesandlobbies]

Thank you!

[@moose354]

Nice report. We'll be on the same flight in first class, day after tomorrow.

[@moose354]

The reason that no butter is served with the bread is that the tomato and mozzarella mixture is supposed to go on the bread and eaten together like Italian Bruschetta. This was explained to me by my wife who knows best.

[@suitesandlobbies]

I shared your comment with my wife and she agreed 100% with what you said. She also agreed with the reason for no butter and eating it like Italian Bruschetta. 😉

[@arisaos]

i’m still scare to ride on this plane

[@suitesandlobbies]

Thank you for sharing, I know others worry as well.

[@JocularHunterOfficial]

How much fuel does that plane take to get there

[@suitesandlobbies]

Great question, I have no idea actually. I am sure it depends on load, winds, and possibly a few other factors. I am guessing an average is out there somewhere.

[@thomasmoore9421]

I'd love to try Alaska's Honolulu service from Paine field & return to Seattle on a daytime delta flight.

[@suitesandlobbies]

I was quite happy with my Delta flight in economy from HNL-SE and yes, daytime flights are so much better.

[@silversurferhi]

That kal bi is more like pot roast with Mr Yoshida sauce

[@suitesandlobbies]

Agree!
