President Trump's 737 MAX Advice For Boeing

President Trump’s 737 MAX Advice For Boeing

Published: April 15, 2019

President Trump has taken to Twitter this morning to give Boeing some advice for what they should do with the 737 MAX, given the current fiasco (along with Tweets about immigration, Mueller, etc.):

What do I know about branding, maybe nothing (but I did become President!), but if I were Boeing, I would FIX the Boeing 737 MAX, add some additional great features, & REBRAND the plane with a new name. No product has suffered like this one. But again, what the hell do I know?

An interesting statement no doubt, especially given that it’s not like the Boeing 737 MAX was a truly new concept. Rather it was created as an evolution of the 737, the most popular passenger jet ever built.

I guess we’ll see if Dennis Boeing & Co. take advice from POTUS!

I mean, maybe it’s not terrible advice. Fix the plane, call it a Boeing 636 MEGA (or MAGA?), put the cockpit in the back of the plane to throw people off, and everyone will just forget the plane ever existed!

You all should be ashamed of yourselves. Trump is a great president who is after our good. There is no reason to be making fun of him. #MAGA2020

I am another one who will never vote for the President, and think the day he leaves office should be declared a national holiday, but indeed think rebranding of the 737 MAX should (and will) happen. Lucky never said that he wouldn't allow controversial topics or strong opinions. He did say he was through with trolls who bring bigotry to the forum every time they post. Such can stoke their ego with their own blog and attract what followers they can.

None of the points he saying are wrong, but do they really need to be said? No doubt that Boeing is using all available resources to quickly and safely fix the issue, and is utilizing internal and external Crisis Management resources to figure out the PR mess. And re-branding a plane isn't just a minor undertaking. The C-Series has officially been the A220 for almost a year and a half, many systems still refer to it as the C-Series (look at an A220 flight on an OTA, or even under the nose of a newly delivered Delta A220).

@Jake hahahhaa right? I'm still waiting on allllllll those people that claimed they would leave the US if Trump won to actually leave.... #hypocrites :)

Ben, you can trash talk the President all you want, but at the end of the day, he's actually right in what he said. Boeing should fix the damn problem, and renaming a product who's name has been tarnished by the media will help fix the public's negative perception about the MAX name. He might not be your favorite person but he is a successful billionaire and POTUS. What he said makes sense, simple as that. ;)
