He was onboard the first commercial flight from Miami to New York LaGuardia.
Here’s what it was like onboard the first Boeing 737 Max passenger flight.
All Photos on this report are from Chris SloanWhen we were boarding, the gate agent announced we were flying the 737 MAX aircraft; announcing the aircraft type is a new policy for AA being rolled out, presumably not to single out the MAX. 6park.com[iframe]"[/iframe] 6park.com 6park.com[iframe]"[/iframe] 6park.comOur Captain Sean Roskey, a 29 year veteran thanked his American and Boeing colleagues for their hard work in bringing the MAX back to service adding “I feel so confident about the plane that I bought my mother along for the trip”. He was also celebrating his 29th wedding anniversary so his wife, Ann was aboard too. Adding to the family affair, First Officer Moraima Maldonado, a Miami-based 737 First Officer had her mom aboard too. The cabin erupted into applause with these sentimental announcements 6park.com[iframe]"[/iframe] 6park.comMy seatmate, Mr. Eduardo Fernandes who flies every week, said “It’s been tested and looked at now more than any other plane in history, so I feel completely safe”.As to be expected, others I spoke to had no idea what aircraft they were flying, nor did they care. “As long as it gets me there safely” one passenger said.As we pushed back, six minutes early, the ground crew stopped to take selfies and to wave us off. We taxied quickly to the runway. I could sense no real anticipation or celebration that normally accompanies special flights. 6park.com[iframe]"[/iframe] 6park.comThe Boeing 737 MAX’s quiet GE Leap engine take-off noise signature was interrupted by a short, burst of applause; it was more like a “golf clap”.Reporter Chris Sloan 6park.com[iframe]"[/iframe] 6park.comThe flight itself was very smooth and uneventful, with only minor bumps into a gusty LaGuardia on the descent. All stakeholders can hope MAX’s re-entry into service mirrors this first flight.
Brett Snyder of the Cranky Flier says all eyes will remain on the MAX.
“The media will make front page news of even the smallest incident, like a medical diversion, and plaster the headlines about it being a MAX across the front page. But as the airplane quietly performs well flight after flight, the concerns will melt away and people will forget about this. It just takes time.” 6park.com Brett Snyder, Cranky Flier
