Default Boeing Has So Many Grounded 737 Max Planes Waiting to Be Fixed They're Parking Them in the Employee Parking Lot - 737 awaiting fix 2.jpg ...

You may recall that, thanks to an issue with faulty sensors in the
Boeing 737 Max flight control systems, those planes have been grounded
after multiple crashes were found to be related to the issue. Grounded
planes are, by definition, not in the air, and as such need to be
stored, on the ground, somewhere. In the case of Boeing’s Renton
Factory in Washington state, there’s so many grounded planes that some
of that ground has to be taken from Boeing’s employee parking lots.

As you can imagine, seeing the planes parking among people’s everyday
commuter cars is a strange sight, which has led to pictures like these
being posted on Twitter:

Seattle’s King 5 News has some very comprehensive aerial footage of
the factory, which gives a sense of just how many of these planes are
parked at Boeing’s factory right now:

That’s a lot of planes. There’s about 500 grounded 737 Max jets around
the world, as Bloomberg notes, with about 100 stuck at Boeing’s Renton
factory. Those are the planes we’re seeing here, parked alongside
people’s Priuses and Explorers.



I have never heard of a "software glitch"
that cannot be fixed after 6 months of trying.
There has to be more to this story.....
