Well, lucky for you, Alaska grounded their 737 MAX fleet a few days ago, so you won’t be flying on them if your trip is anytime soon.

Edit: I didn’t realize they were getting them back into service so quickly… oops 😬

Edit 2: bon chance mon ami

It was reported earlier today that 18 were already back in service after completing inspections, and the remaining inspections would be completed in the coming days.

They only grounded their max-9's. The others are still in operation.
