Boeing Has Called 737 Max 8 ‘Not Suitable’ for Certain Airports. The "Not suitable for certain airports" implies Jakarta as being in this category (too hot). All the hallmarks, unattributed expert opinions such as "Mark". Reporters just happened to find these U.S. International Trade Commission documents lying around?
In reference to the "Not Suitable" article statement... What a load of nonsense.

How does an AOA sensor become discombobulated by temp or pressure altitude???? Seriously, has relaxing the pot laws in WA resulted in loopiness in Chicago head office? If Boeing wants to defend their position, they need to get serious and deal with the facts at hand and not puff smoke or play with mirrors.

WAT limits per 25 Subpart B control suitability of the aircraft for a particular operation for the certification of the aircraft, not the name or number written on the side of the plane by the OEM.
