wrong with the plane. but i don't think there's enough information that would have led them to this door, because this door has not been a problem in the past. it's not been a problem with the prior version of the 737. so a big question is going to be how does it have a successful fleet in the 737 900, the extended range version, former version of the 737, and suddenly having all these problems in the max? so that's gonna be a big part of the investigation. >> you've dealt with some of these very serious cases. is boeing open to legal action at this point? >> boeing certainly is. and the chairperson of the ntsb talked about the emotional impact on the passengers. you know, some of the passengers were physically injured. but someone aboard, especially people who are around one of the explosive decompression happened, are probably having nightmares. now so there's gonna be some legal action. but they got off luckily. and more importantly, the people on this airplane got off superluxury. >> yeah, i mean, look, the
alternate pressurization system the investigation is going to have to decide whether that is completely unrelated. or, whether that was a warning sign of a impending structural failure. >> so not necessarily a signal to the pilot on this point? >> it's a signal that means something is going wrong with the plane, but i do not think there is enough information that would have led them to this door because this door has not been a problem in the past. it has not been a problem with the prior version of the 7:37. so, the big question is going to be, how did they have a successful fleet in the 737 900 that extended range version of the 7:37 and suddenly having all of these problems in the max, that's going to be a big part of the investigation. >> you've got a very serious cases. is boeing liable to legal action? >> boeing certainly is, the chairperson of the ntsb talked about the emotional impact on the passengers. some of the passengers are physically injured, but
investigated. how widely does this affect global travel patterns? 0ne affect global travel patterns? one of the main customers will be united and alaska. i don't think there are only within uk registered airlines, are they? only within uk registered airlines, are the ? ., only within uk registered airlines, arethe ? ., , ., are they? no, absolutely not. there are they? no, absolutely not. there are nine airlines _ are they? no, absolutely not. there are nine airlines affected _ are they? no, absolutely not. there are nine airlines affected at - are they? no, absolutely not. there are nine airlines affected at the - are nine airlines affected at the moment, with alaska and united the biggest too. proportionally the 737 900 makes up around 25% of oral alaska's flying. it is a big hit for them than it is for united, where it is a slightly smaller proportion. yesterday alaska cancelled 14% of their network. united cancelled 7% of their network. the majority of carriers are in the americas. south—west have a few as well.
you're travelling elsewhere and want to check, it will be listed as a 737—nine or a 737 max nine which is different from the 737 900 which does not have this feature. ryanair have used this _ does not have this feature. ryanair have used this before _ does not have this feature. ryanair have used this before but - does not have this feature. ryanair have used this before but they - does not have this feature. ryanair have used this before but they use| have used this before but they use it as an extra exit rather than blocking it off with a panel so that presumably cuts at the risk that is associated, does it? i presumably cuts at the risk that is associated, does it?— associated, does it? i think it -robabl associated, does it? i think it probably does. _ associated, does it? i think it probably does. the _ associated, does it? i think it probably does. the door- associated, does it? i think it probably does. the door is i associated, does it? i think it probably does. the door is a | probably does. the door is a different structure and goes for a particular maintenance regime so i do think it is different and they, like all responsible operators, will be watching any risk once full information coming out of —— will be watching for any information coming out of boeing but the ryanair aircraft is a different variance of this particular 737 max.-
mess. look at the bore here. maybe you see every other flight essentially are cancelled or delayed. part of that is weather from that bomb cyclone out there. look at the delay and cancellation numbers system wide. delays, over 2,000 delays, cancellations about 1400 thus far. and it's not just the 737 max flights that are being cancelled. the airlines are canceling some other flights to sub in for those 737 max flights that have been grounded. some flights that were previously not scheduled as a max may be cancelled as our team is focused on canceling flights that will impact the smallest number of passengers. case in point there is united. a flight from houston to san diego, united 991 today, was scheduled to be flown on a max 9 aircraft. instead, it is traveling on time because they cancelled another flight to bring that plane over which was a 737 900 series.
>> the u.s. airlines have most of the 737s. united operates 14 of the 737 900 maxes. so not a lot. shouldn't have a big financial impact. southwest says we're currently seeking confirmation and additional guidance from the faa and will respond accordingly in the interest of aviation safety. they say now that they have complied with the faa grounding as of immediately, american says that earlier today the faa informed us that based on new information they're grounding the united states boeing 737 max fleet out of an abundance of caution. american airlines operates 24 aircraft affected by this directive. our teams will be looking to rebook customers as quickly as possible as we apologize for any
new york and watch it snow and hang out in a blizzard, something i've always wanted to do. the faa has long been criticized for policing airlines and promoting them. critics say you simply cannot do both. now the faa is cracking down on a couple of airlines for not adhering very strictly to the rules. the first one is american airlines going after their regional carrier american eagle. they say over the course of months that american eagle flu their regional jets up to a dozen times without fixing the seats or armrests. it may seem little but it's very important when you're talking about the safety and evacuation of an airplane. they are propose ago 330,000-dollar fine against american eagle. continental they are saying put on the landing gear assembly of 737 900s onto different 737s. these are different planes, not
