    This is good news

    ....even if the industry has little current need.

    From this morning's briefing in the NYT:

    The federal government gave Boeing approval to start test flights of its 737 Max jet, which was grounded in March 2019 after a pair of fatal crashes.

    That is good news. For, what is good for Boeing is also good for our economy.

    Read all about those crash's and it appeared they could have turned off the auto and flew it by hand. An article said there was a switch to sit ether way should trouble rise. In my flying days I wouldn't anyone else touching the wheel while landing.
