My understanding is that Canadian carriers are watching closely but the 737 Max flight I'll be on this weekend is still a go.

Maybe I won't be flying on a 737 Max in a few days, after all:
Ethiopian Airlines plane had "flight control problems," airline CEO says Ethiopian Airlines plane had "flight control problems," airline CEO says
Ethiopian Airlines plane had "flight control problems," airline CEO says Ethiopian Airlines plane had "flight control problems," airline CEO says
Standard practice. That statement is deliberately vague. It's in the airlines interest at this stage to use such wording that people assume a link between this and Lion Air, and thus forming the opinion that it's a design problem rather than an airline operating issue. Pretty standard practice.
Remember the Lion Air had a known and reported defect the flight before. It could of course be teh same issue, and this time the crew (like the Lion Air crew) didn't react (despite the new training)
This one w somewhat more surprising, but I'd be reticent to jump to any real conclusions. The Airline industry is very Machiavellian, the CAA could have bowed to some political pressure - they may be using it as a stick against the FAA or Boeing as a bargaining point on another matter - Airbus may have lobbied (Don't ever think the FAA or CAA are truly independent or impartial. Similarly the FAA may be under pressure to support Boeing and the American carriers.
I doubt there is much new information that isn't in the public eye at the moment - but there could be something more from the radio conversations between the Crew and ATC
Look at crash scene pictures - who even needs to examine the wreckage is in for a painful time given the seem to have collected it and piled it high. Good luck with that jigsaw.
It'll be the ADR and CVR that hopefully give some indication of where to start looking. The problem with tos aircraft that are grounded awaiting to be inspected, is that no-one knows what they're looking for. This could have been an APU failure in the (smoke from rear) causing flight control issues despite redundancy - which would be a completely different fault
I've no opinion on the matter. Merely posting news items and wondering if I'll be flying in one on March 15.
Ooh - Where are you going? We leave in the morning (before light 'O' clock bound for Misool) My friends went and checked if we were on one - we're notI've no opinion on the matter. Merely posting news items and wondering if I'll be flying in one on March 15.
I'm not going to be on one either:
