IS the B737 Max comparable in size (capacity) to the great B757-200? Just wondering......

AVOID flying ASIANA, by all means! There are other safe airlines servicing Korea! STAY SAFE, folks!

The Koreans, with their bad English, don;'t understand the difference between ON and INTO!

Ban Asiana from flying into US and EU airports, as they have banned other Asian airlines!

They should ban them from working in the industry! Just to keep things safe.

Thrustt, I think you are right! It is true. Truth hurts, but what you are saying is true. I speak for myself, but I think that passengers in general (specially in the US) are getting bigger (fatter) and they (we) don't fit in those narrow seats anymore and they (not me anymore) just start complaining. It happened to me a few months ago when I was assigned to an exit row on a plane, a seat with those fixed armrests and boxy seat arrangements (narrower seat area compared to regular seats in other rows), and I was literally "squeezed" into the seat, I couldn't move at all - it was an extremely narrow and uncomfortable space. That day, I realized I was really getting fatter. The following day I started going to the gym again and also started visiting a nutritionist. At the end of the day, that seat on that flight that day gave me a wake up call. Today, I have lost more than 10 pounds since that flight (and still losing weight by the way) and my health is improving. Lower choles

Yes, whether people like it or not, the US always investigates incidents properly, without making a big deal out of things - quietly. I trust US investigations results more than any other investigation entity, specially those from NTSB. NTSB is a serious entity. I hope NTSB can take the incident under its leadership and responsibility soon, and forget about those Asian government inefficient authorities just interfering in the process.

It's a misfortune that the plane involved in this incident is a Malaysia Airlines aircraft. MH is a good and serious airline. Please don't blame them for not getting appropriate information from the government to give to the families of those onboard MH370. It happens everywhere, government officials are just inefficient and as they do not know what they are doing at their jobs, they just interfere with the good faith efforts of the airline, also trying to find out what happened or what is going on. My best wishes to MH in their investigations. I still hope that the plane flew more than 5 hours after it disappeared from radars and landed safely with every passenger onboard somewhere in a clandestine runway in Somalia or somewhere else........ at least for all of them to be alive now. My prayers for all passengers on board.....

If THY has already started making good money using Boeing planes (777-300ERs), they should consider getting a few 747-8s for "immediate" deliver and get in line for deliveries of more 777Xs by 2020..... Why go for A380s that will be more expensive to operate than having an all Boeing cost- and fuel-efficient fleet?
