No passengers on the plane. Still, not a good sign.

Boeing doesn't make the engines, nor do they maintain the engines. Can't hang this one on them.

[PAR35]

Engine issues seem mechanical, which hasn’t been a primary issue before with the Max 8.

Does Bill Clinton provide your definition of 'primary'? Because it was problem with the Max which appeared early.

From May, 2017: "Boeing grounds 737 MAX planes over quality issue with engine"

The MAX 8 and MAX 9 have new, more powerful and more efficient engines.

[SaxxonWoods]

It’s starting to sound more like a curse than a single defect.
I blame Gremlins.

[SaxxonWoods]

Sure, all airports have plenty of extra space and equipment to store many extra jetliners indefinitely.

Instead of version 12.1 they will need to update to version 12.2

Lovely!

I wouldn’t doubt that, but this one is apparently engine issue.

[mass55th]

How are any of these planes flying? I thought President Trump grounded them all.

[pfflier]

There is a myriad of possibilities why the plane aborted. The story didn't give a reason, just listed a malfunction.

That is the problem with our culture now. We substitute sensationalism for facts.

This engine event is the type of thing that happens somewhere every day, generally without serious incident, and without being reported in the media. As others have pointed out, the media is connecting this to the apparent MCAS-related event(s), but it is likely completely unrelated to MCAS and/or to the two accidents.

It’s the same any time there is a serious incident or accident; the media goes into overdrive reporting every little daily event as if they are all related. This then leads to a period of the public believing that the whole aviation system is coming apart at the seams. Nothing could be farther from the truth.

Software by Microsoft Windows 10 updater
Or maybe EA/Bioware game “Anthem” coderz.

I was speculating.
Now I’m cracking wise.
Supposedly it’s an engine issue this time.
Rather expensive to be that, the engines cost upwards of $2billion to develop from what I just read.

[pfflier]

What part of "grounded" did they not understand?

The FAA can grant a waiver to relocate the planes.

Data, just before turning off the trim switches and going manual...

[rollo tomasi]

The apparent cause of the two recent crashes; apologies for not making that clear as I thought most would pick up what I was referring to the last several months.

Engine failure would involve CFM International who built those, not Boeing directly.

[PAR35]

My recollection is that is the only engine available for the MAX, and was promoted as a major selling point.

[rollo tomasi]

CFM International probably aligned with Boeing's requirement/$$$ of a break-even analysis within a specific time frame they forecasted.

Bottom line is that Boeing expected some type of competence from CFM International. Too bad Boeing neglected their own software. Now they may be stuck with an embarrassing lemon.

[unixfox]

Is Microsoft managing their patches?

Nope, Adobe.

*Insert windows shutdown sounds.*

A relative worked in the aviation industry. It is a common practice to fly planes around with just skeleton crew when they have to be serviced. In this case, It sounds like they were trying to get all the 737 Max 8s to one location where they can be stored and eventually serviced, instead of trying to fund places to store these at a major airport they will move them to a facility designed to store/service them not flay pax.
