Always great to be with you guys.

Good to have you back, John.

Thanks. Hey to have you back John.

Thanks.

So our nearly only story that we're going to talk about this week and we're going to spend quite

a bit of time on it since we do have John and we're going to use his historical knowledge and subject matter expertise to really dive into the crash of Ethiopian Airlines flight 302 and the subsequent events that have taken place around the world over the past few days.

We're recording this on 13 March.

In the evening, UTC time, and earlier in the afternoon,

US time, the US FAA announced that all 737 max operating in the US to and from the US would be grounded.

They were the last holdout of the regulators or authorities that still had

737 Max operators in the air following Canada's announcement earlier in the day.

So as it stands now, all 737 max 8 and 9 aircraft around the world,

once they land, they are no longer allowed to carry passengers.
